What are the purpose of water pills? Do they help you permanently lose weight?

The purpose of a water pill is to remove water from your body.  No they do not help you 'permanently' lose weight, really, they only work until the water is restored....you can kind of compare it to urinating, yes you will weigh less, but only until you replace the water you expelled.

No infact just the opposite... drinking a lot of water will flush out the toxic waste from the body making it healthy and fit...Drinking water also makes you lose appetite thus controlling your intake of food. you that's one natural way of reamining slim and healthy..

It is not really safe to lose that much weight in one week, but you could try a diuretic or pill that will help you drop the water weight that you carry. Your pharmacist can recommend on over the counter.

No diet pills really work. Read the labels...they ALL say the same thing. Something along the lines of "if you take this pill with a calorie-reduced diet and regular exercise, you MAY lose weight." Even the so-called natural ones carry dangers with them that are not worth it.\n\nThere's only one safe way to lose weight effectively, and that is to eat a LITTLE less (by 200-400 calories) than the amount of calories you need to use in a day. If you eat too much less, you body goes into fat storage mode, and your attempts at starving yourself will backfire, as you will get fat quickly again when you start eating again. \n\nGo to the site below to get info on how many calories you need in a day.

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.

People always want to take diet pills to lose weight, but there is no substitute for good old-fashioned exercise.  I think if a person wants to lose weight & be healthy he/she should change their lifestyle & be physically fit overall, not just rely on pills.  Once you stop taking the pills, you have to think how you're going to maintain your shape & continue to keep the weight off.  I suggest exercising.  Taking a walk is great exercise, especially if you walk at a brisk pace - it burns a lot of calories.  Do some aerobics (I use The Firm & it's really fun) or kickboxing, anything to get your heart rate up & burn fat.  Try to do a variety of things so you stay motivated & don't get bored.

Diet pills in general are unsafe to take, whether you have Diabetes or not. Please do not be fooled into thinking that you will lose weight with diet pills - Do they advise you drink plenty of water whilst taking them?? As that is the soul key to losing weight, drink plenty of water and exercise!

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.

I've used them.  They work really well at flushing out your system, and can be beneficial not only toward weight loss, but may have some benefits toward treating minor arthitis.  One complaint is that it can make urine smell really pungent from the vinegar.  Other than that, the pills are not bad.

I dont think ppl understood the dont answer if you dont know part, what you were may help you lose water weight, its not there to burn your fat, the weight you lose is the water in your body.

Check with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.\n\nAnyone who attempts to lose weight by reducing calorie consumption experiences feelings of hunger and fatigue. Hoodia diet pills attempt to reduce those feelings, making it easier to stick to a low calorie diet and therefore lose weight. As with any weight loss plan, only people who are in good health should use hoodia diet pills and they should be used in conjunction with appropriate diet and exercise. Because thirst is suppressed as well as appetite, it is important to remember to drink plenty of water. Most experts recommend eight 8 ounce glasses per day to maintain proper hydration. Other than thirst suppression, there are no known side effects associated with hoodia diet pills and they are probably a much better choice than diet pills containing stimulants.\n\nI tried Hoodia and......\nHoodia has worked for me...and with no side effects. \n\nFor all you doubters, here is the prior feedback for another Answers user who followed my advice:\n\nAsker's Rating: *****\nvery good comment i lost 2 lbs in a week\ni think i can almost get in my leather dress, i can hit the town in no time \n\n\n**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF --- \n\n#1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia...look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!\n\n#2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!\n\n#3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs…you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.\n\n#4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!\n\nHoodia (HOOD-ee-uh) gordonii - A genus of 10 to 20 species from southwestern Africa. \nHoodia gordonii is the stoneage wonder plant found throughout the dry arid regions of the South western African continent now on the verge of making history in the fight against obesity. It is a genus belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family which consists of approximately 20 species. Used to stop hunger, quench thirst, and provide energy among other things since prehistoric times, Hoodia gordonii was first discovered by the San tribesmen and women to get through the most difficult of times. \n\nYou can read a good article about how it works at:\n\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info/hoodia-diet-capsules.htm\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info/hoodia-gordonii-diet-use.htm\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info\nhttp://hoodia-research.blogspot.com

I wouldn't take them unless your Dr. gives them to you. Water pills work by moving excess water from the lungs and the body to the kidneys for urination.

The body is 90% water.  By drinking water, you are filling your stomach up thus telling your brain that you are not hungry which cuts down on the amount of calories you eat.  Also, water has 0 calories.  If you stop drinking soda and only drink water, the weight will fly off.  It also flushes out the impurities in your body and keeps your other organs strong.  I did this and lost 10lbs in 2 weeks and it didnt come back.  Hope that helps.

Listen, truthfully none of those pills make you lose miracle amounts of weight.  The only real, true way to do it is diet and exercise.

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

I don't see how a patch or a pill can help you lose weight. You have to do it with exercise and eating healthy.
