Why do people say to drink lots of water, if someone wants to lose weight?

Water is consumed in virtually every metabolic and chemical process your body engages in. Drinking water will fuel those processes and give you more energy. When you excercise (which of course you are, if you wish to lose weight), you comsume vast amounts of water, usually 2-3 times as much as you sweat out, and you sweat more than you think.\n\nThe process of "digesting" water is catabolic, meaning it consumes calories, so drinking water between meals will keep you from binge-eating later and it will burn a small ammount of calories to boot.\n\nWater is the most pure liquid you can drink, the benefits of water go on and on. Everyone should drink several glasses worth every day.

There is NO SET AMOUNT that you "should" drink in a day.\nYou'll hear a lot of bullsh!t about "8 glasses" or "half your weight in oz.", but there's NO science backing any of that.  It's all just folklore and urban myth.\n\nDrink when you're thirsty.  Period.

Losing weight fast is usually just in the beginning and yes it's more water weight than anything else. It does provide a great incentive though to keep going. After that losing weight the slow way like you are doing is the best. It becomes a way of life as well and you'll stay in good shape.

Depends on how much water you already hold. Some people could lose upto 7 lbs, but as soon as you drink fluid again, it will come back.

Water weight is actually an excess of fluid caused by high salt intake.  A good way to lose it is to drink more water, use a diuretic such as cranberry juice or an over the counter drug.  You will instantly notice a reduction in bloat and fatigue.  Decrease your salt intake too.

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.

Water pills are diuretics.  They work by increasing the elimination of sodium from the body, which encourages the co-removal of water.  Remember your high school chemistry?  "Water moves from an area of high conc entration to low concentration."  (Sidenote: likewise eating a particularly salty meal can make you RETAIN water.)  They CAN be used safely if used as directed and if the person is adequately hydated.  Diurectics have been prescribed by medical professionals for a variety of ailemnts including heart failure and hyper tention.  They are more well-known for usage in weight loss, though the decrease in weight is merely due to water weight and not fat loss.  Since diuretics remove extravcellular fluid as well, this can givce the appearance of a more slim and toned body.  However, if dosage is not taken as indicated or if taken by an already dehydrated person, this can potentially lead to kidney failure and death.  Some everyday sources of diuretics are alcohol and coffee.

Drinking is good for you as it helps digestion and recovers the loss of fluid in your body that you lose each day. Just make sure you are drinking plenty of water as opposed to flavoured drinks. Flavoured drinks are high in calories and sugar and hence increase weight. \n\nTry to avoid drinking anything that is not natural. Soft drinks have a bad impact on your body whether it is diet or not. Juices are really high in carbs and calories so unless you have one freshly made vegie juice try to avoid fruit juices. Milk drinks should be limited to one per day and skim is the preferred option. \n\nI tend to drink green tea after main meals as it is good for your metabolism and reduces feeling bloated.  \n\nOverall, if you exercise you need to replace fluid in your body so try to drink 3 litres of water.

If you are taking in more than you are burning off you will indeed gain and NOT lose weight.  Doesn't matter how much water you drink.

Caffeine has been used in weight-loss pills.  It is a stimulant which makes you more active (burning up more calories and having more drive to accomplish things).  Caffiene is also a diurectic causing you to lose retained water (and weight).  However, you should maintain adequate hydration to perhaps avoid headache and other side effects.  Although caffiene may help, a healthy diet and exercise should be the foundation of weight loss, and not too much caffeine.
