It doesn't have to be distilled. Tap water is fine. Cut out all carbs for a few weeks. No bread, potatoes, corn, rice, cereal, pasta, fruit, tomatoes, beans (except green beans) and peas. Lots of meat and green vegs. Drink 8 glasses of water a day of any kind of water, but not flavored water.

Yes!  Your brain doesn't differentiate between hunger and thirst so a lot of times, those hunger pangs can be stifled by rehydrating and you won't intake calories that your body doesn't actually need.  Most people operate continually dehydrated.  If you got all the water you need -6 to 8 glasses a day- your body would have a lot easier time functioning (including increased metabolic function).  Also, drinking more water won't just help you lose weight -- it'll help you lose inches.  If your body is used to not getting enough water, it stores all that it can.  If you're giving it all it needs, you'll have less water retention!

Add a lot of water into your diet. Drink about half your body weight in ounces of water per day. This helps detoxify your body and helps release the unwanted fat. Since you already work out, just watch what you eat.

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.

Yes it does, but there is more to weight loss than just water. It is just part of the solution. Weight loss only occurs when your calorie input is less than your calories output. This means if you eat 1200 calories in a day you need to output more than 1200 calories in a day. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved if you don't have the access. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. If you have access to a gym include boxing and spin classes as well. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 (women) - 1800 (men) and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

It helps flush out your system frequently (gets rid of toxins and what have you - ensures good working kidneys - has no calories or refined sugars - hint hint. It hydrates your body, replenishes sweat loss and is essential since more than 75% of our body is made up of water. \n\nWater is required by every cell in the body as nourishment and to remove wastes. When water becomes scarce, the body tries to limit the amount it loses through breathing, mucous production, urination, perspiration and bowel movements.\n\nYOu lose water even when you breathe since the carbon dioxide you breathe out is humid. Coffee, tea and soda all contain caffeine which is a known diuretic and will actually accentuate the symptoms of fluid loss. Fruit juices are more concentrated in sugar than your body's fluids and so the body will attempt to dilute them in the gut thereby causing a loss of water from other areas of the body

Distilled is better than tap water but you decide which is available to you. Spring water is mostly hype. You can also add it to your favorite strong juicee. I always add cinnamon for taste and the antioxidant effects of cinnamon. Make sure to take raw unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar as it is the real thing. \n\nApple Cider Vinegar is my primary supplement. Check my blog out and see what you think. http://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=179&p=1\nhttp://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=179

Tea in general (or water!) "aids digestion", and if you like it, Pu-Erh will do so too, though no better or worse than any other beverage as far as I can tell.  There are some studies indicating it may help lower cholesterol, but there is no magic drink that can aid 'weight loss'.  The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume.  Eat less, exercise more.

Distilled water is used when an absolute known water quality is desired. We use distilled water in the manufacture of various chemical products, intravenous solutions, medications, syrups, and in industry to protect delicate instruments from the build-up of calcium and iron. It is used in batteries to prolong the life of wet cells and as the dilutent for the electrolyte. We use distilled water to flush wounds during surgery and as a solvent for lyophlized medications and vaccines. It is seldom drunk because it has no taste (the taste of water is due to the mineral content which is removed by distillation). Most processed liquids that are consumed use distilled water so as to keep the original taste of the product.

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.

Drinking water will not cause you to put on weight.  Water contains no calories, therefore requires no physical exertion to be burned off.  It will just absorb, do its job, and pass through.

I don't know of any specific health drink,but there's solid evidence out there that drinking 24 ounces of milk in each 24 hour period will help you lose weight. For the best results,drink low-fat or skim milk.Good luck!\n                                  Lynne,RN

The only thing that will make you lose body fat is exercise so get into it and stick with it. Drinking water as a replacement to sugary drinks will help prevent you putting fat back on but diet is important too, cut out all simple sugars.

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.

going to a sauna will help you lose water weight but you have to watch what you eat after or you will gain it right back if you chose this keep fluids in and all fats and sugars out try eating protein only and maybe enough carbs just to burn off by the end of the day around 20 grams but be careful because if youfeel light headed in the sauna leave because you can pass out
