People will tell you that your body needs water. It's true. You've been giving your body water, just in the form of soda and juice. This is ok, but it's not as healthy as drinking water. Soda and juice are high in sugar and if you're not at a good healthy weight, this can lead to diabetes-- a growing problem with the American youth. In other words, the only problem with your situation is that drinking these soft drinks instead of water can make you fat and give you cavities. If this concerns you, then you may want to cut back and try drinking water instead.\nTry drinking water when you're eating your favorite foods. You'll find it pretty easy to drink then. Water obviously has no flavor alone, and so if you are used to drinking liquid candy, you won't find it very refreshing. Drinking water with your favorite foods will help you get used to it. So when you go out to your favorite restaurants, order water instead of soda pop and not only will you be looking after your health,  you'll also be saving at least a dollar or two. If you do this long enough, eventually you'll get used it.

You do NOT have to "drink lots of water" to lose weight!!  That's a myth.  No basis in science.

No... don't drink hot water... it can really hurt you than help.\nDrink cold water instead... you'll body will burn additional calories warming the water internally after you've drank it.

Drink lots of cold water; it's healthy and your body works to warm it up so you naturally burn fat.

Actually both, when dieting it's better to get as much liquid( especially water) as possible in your diet.

Yes because drinking water reduces your craving for food.

well it depends on how much you drink even with plain water if you drink to much you can retain some of the water weight

Water fills you up so your not as hungry. Also, water keeps your body hydrated and cleansed, so it's good for you all the time, but especially while dieting.

Water is essential to survival and optimal health... but there IS such thing as too much of a good thing.\n\nSO, if you are guzzling down lots of water but not getting enough 'electrolytes' then you can end up with hyponatremia; a dangerous condition that results because your body needs to use electrolytes to create urine.\n\nALSO, the gastric emptying time of water alone is pretty fast (the time for water to leave your stomach) so you will NOT stretch out your stomach by drinking water.\n\nFind a balance. There's no *Magic* way to lose weight.

Yes, but not a significant amount.  When you drink ice cold water, your body uses energy and burns calories to bring the water up to your normal body temperature.  Check out the source link for more detail into exactly how this works.

it helps me because i'm to full of water to eat much. but be prepared to pitch a tent in the bathroom because your gonna pee like crazy. that also helps because its getting all the toxins out of your body. and water doesn't have sugar or caffiene, so you can drink all you want with no regrets

It increases your weight VERY temporarily while it is in your stomach til you pee it out...\n\nOverall though it can help you lose weight, as your body runs better when you are well hydrated, plus drinking lots of water actually keeps your body from retaining water weight (because your body knows it doesn't have to store the water for a shortage); water has absolutely no calories and is the healthiest drink you can have.  Also, ice cold water helps you burn calories by lowering your body temperature slightly (so you have to burn calories to warm the water--and yourself--back up).  Finally, drinking water before meals can fill you up (remember, no calories), and then you won't be as hungry and won't eat as much.  Yay water!

Yah, I drink probably 8-10 glasses a day. At one time I drank a lot more, but my doctor told me to stop it. I guess too much water can be harmful.

Almost true, first off all it will hidrate you (and your skin). It will help your body get rid of impurities in your blood, kidneys, and skin. It will help your body balance salts and minerals. And help you digest your food.\n\nAll known forms of life depend on water. (Note however that some bacteria and plant seeds can enter a cryptobiotic state for an indefinite period when dehydrated, and "come back to life" when returned to a wet environment). Water is a vital part of many metabolic processes within the body, and significant quantities of water are used during the digestion of food.\n\nAbout 72% of the fat free mass of the human body is made of water. To function properly the body requires between one and seven litres of water per day to avoid dehydration, the precise amount depending on the level of activity, temperature, humidity, and other factors. However, most of this is ingested through other foods or beverages (hot tea being often used in deserts to avoid dehydration, etc.) It is not clear how much water intake is needed by healthy people. However, for those who do not have kidney problems, it is rather difficult to drink too much water, but (especially in warm humid weather and while exercising) dangerous to drink too little. People can drink far more water than necessary while exercising, however, putting them at risk of water intoxication, which can be fatal. The "fact" that a person should consume eight glasses of water per day cannot be traced back to a scientific source. The latest dietary reference intake report by the US National Research Council recommended 2.7 liters of water total (including food sources) for women and 3.7 liters for men.

No.  \n\nDrinking a reasonable amount of water to excess amounts of water will no impact on muscle growth.\n\nSevere dehydration is a different story...and could have a negative impact.\n\nBut to answer your question, NO...drinking water does not make your muscles bigger.
