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.

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.

both you have to be hydrated prior to get nutrients pumping through while you work out and its also good to drink water or watered down whey protien isolate during your workout to keep the amino acids comming.  but for drinking water after I use the method of weighing yourself prior to working out or cardio and then after and drinking 1L of water per lb you lose in sweat.

I drink lots of water, my family doctor told me to drink 1/2 of my weight per day,(ounces of water =1/2 weight)

Sodium makes you gain water weight, not water.  Water actually flushes away water weight.  Drinking cold water can help you burn calories, because it takes calories to bring the water up to your body temp, but green tea has antioxidants that help flush away impurities in your body.  I would use both.

lifting weights takes alot of energy so be sure that first you have plenty of fluid in your body... extreme fatigue and weakness during exercise is the first major sign of dehydration....saturate your cells before doing any strenious activities if you can.  Drink plenty of water at least 30 minutes to an hour before your workout and see if that helps

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.

I take Creatine and praise this supplement!!!  Creatine definitely makes you stronger (bench press went to 275lbs. and I weight 150lbs.) and look "buff".  Reason why you look buff is because Creatine is a "water magnet" absorbing water into your muscles hence the term "muscle volumizer".  That is why you'll need to take in lots of water or it won't work.  Plus without enough water you will most likely have muscle cramps.  So take in the required water and more, or else you'll be in pain and not have the the full benifits of creatine.  Also you do not need to do a loading period.  It is just the manufacturors way of getting you to buy more of the product.

Don't drink any non-diet drinks.  That will save you as much weight as all excercise and diet combined.

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!

No, it will decrease your metabolism because it is the same as drinking water. While drinking water can boost your metabolism, however, without food, it will actually decrease it.

Do lots of excersing, and just be careful at what you eat and drink. Do you drink lots of water? You are supposed to drink at least 6-8 glasses of water a day. That's what I am doing, and i feel better and look better all the time. The water is great! I don't like the taste but i like the benefits. Just remember at first you will have to go to the bathroom very often! Don't try and just do diest because you gain it all back later and it is unhealthy. Good luck and congratulations.

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.

I'm sure there is great info out there, I don't have any. but remember water plays an important part in our bodies 70-80% of us is water. so bigger muscles equals more water.

I'm glad you pointed this out.  I think its very bad advise to say that people need 8 glasses of water to lose weight.  This is wrong.  The body may need 8 glasses of fluid, but that can be any type of fluid, like milk, juices, coffee, tea, whatever.  I lost 80 pounds and have kept it off for over 5 years and drank water just when I was thirsty.  If I would drink 8 glasses of water on top of my other liquids, I would be totally bloated.\n\nI did drink more water when I worked in a steel foundry, but I would alternate it with a bottle of gatorade.  Gatorade has some electrolytes in it.  How did you restore your electrolytes?
