Why is water so important in weight loss?

Look, if you don't drink water, your body primitively starts to store all fluids, which in turn makes you bloat, which in turn,makes you put on weight. Drink warm water with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Why warm water? Because it is easier to digest and your body doesn't burn energy on heating it in the stomach. Filtered water, preferably.

It is probably mostly water....a gallon of water weighs like seven pounds.  The best way to lose weight is to run run run...and eat sensibly.  Burn more calories than you take in...and you will lose weight.

You shouldn't lose any real weight (fat or muscle) just water and waste.  You might temporarily lose pounds, but since it would be water you should look better over all.

What a sauna does is make you sweat, which gets rid of all of the moisture in your body, making you dehydrated. While it is okay to do this occasionally, if you don't replace the fluids that you've lost from sweating, you can become chronically dehydrated. This can lead to serious health problems not only with your skin and hair, but with your kidneys and bladder as well. \n\nSaunas do not help you to lose weight. You only lose water, which to remain healthy, you have to replace. This is the equivalent of weiging yourself with a wet shirt on, and then weighing yourself with a dry shirt on. Obviously the wet one will weigh more. \n\nThe healthiest way to lose weight is to eat sensibly and exercise in moderation.

Diet pills and diets don't really help you lose pounds. You just lose water weight. One thing that really helped me with losing weight was drinking plenty of water, eating lots of vegetables for digestion and eater frequent smaller meals. That way your body isn't stressed out and holding onto extra weight because it thinks you're in starvation or stressful times.

They are all important. A balanced diet with all the food groups is essential for a healthy body. If you are trying to loose weight just cut back to the recommended portion sizes. Watch your calories and enjoy low fat, low carb foods, Salt or sodium is important because to much and you are prone to water retention.

i will tell you the exact answer to this, see wat happens is when you drink more of water ur stomach is distended, the thirst centre in ur brain is satisfied, at the same time ur hunger centre is also inhibited so u tend to eat less.... also water helps in faster digestion and more excretion of waste products helping u to lose weight

You'll only lose water, so there will be an initial drastic loss, but once you drink water, your body will absorb it again and the weight will come back.  If you don't replenish the fluids, you risk damaging your liver and kidneys along with a constant thirst.  It's not a healthy or lasting diet alternative.

That's good to drink water, but what you eat and how much is more important. The calories eaten must be less than the calories burned through daily activities and exercise.

Perspiration doesn't MAKE you lose weight or increase your cardiovascular health. It is just a by-product of the increase in your metabolism caused by the cardio workout. The water keeps a swimmer's body cool, but the heart is still working. If you think about it, the cooler water will even raise the metabolism further so that the body will respond to keep you warm. A swimmer's muscles are still working hard, as is the heart, so the body is doing everything it would do on land to achieve fitness. In terms of weight loss, you just need to burn more calories than you take in. If you are doing the work, that WILL happen!

I agree with the other answers out there.  However, there's a misconception out in the world that drinking a lot of water will magically make you weigh less.\n\nIt certainly will help in your diet plan, but it is not a cure all.  It will certainly make you feel fuller and you'll burn some calories processing the water. However, I read that you'll burn a whopping 60 calories a day extra if you drink a 2 liter bottle of water every day. That's 4 pounds in a whole year (excluding exercise to and from the bathroom).  Probably not the goal you were shooting for.\n\nYour best bet to weigh less is exercise and healthy eating.  There's no magic method or pill.   Use a web site such as http://www.fitday.com to determine how many calories you need to eat and burn throughout the day.  It's free and they don't spam.  Check out magazines like Men's Fitness, Men's Health, Shape and Fitness to learn about exercise routines and healthy eating tips. \n\nThe bottom line is: educate yourself about your body and what goes into it. Practice what you learn and the weight loss will follow.\n\nGood luck.
