Water Menu For Weight Loss\n\nMany of us know that keeping our bodies well hydrated is essential for good health and for weight loss. Drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water every day is recommended and yet many people find this difficult to do.\n\nIf you are one of the many people who find it difficult to drink water, here is a program easily followed to ensure you are well hydrated every single day.\n\nWhen you wake up you will often be thirsty because your body loses water while you are sleeping through breathing and perspiration. Drink a large glass of water with a slice of lemon for zing.\n\nDrink another glass of water with breakfast or a cup of herbal tea before setting off the day.\n\nMid morning - snack on a piece of juicy fruit such as orange, rockmelon, watermelon, cantaloupe, honey dew. Have a glass of water and perhaps try a dash of herbal aloe juice which is wonderfully soothing to the digestive system.\n\nLunch - think of soup or have a glass of water before your meal, or perhaps a herbal tea.\n\nMid afternoon - While you are preparing your evening meal, drink a glass of water and snack on some crunchy fresh vegetables.\n\nEvening - Sip a glass of water before your meal with a dash of your favourite fruit juice for flavour.\n\nAfter dinner - before bedtime drink your final glass of water and sleep well!\n\nNow here's the really exciting part - you may notice a reduction in inches and centimetres, as you body's water store become redundant and so decrease. You may need to 'spend a penny' more but the results will be worth it.

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.

Your body HAS to have water.  You can go weeks without eating anything, but only about 3 days without some form of water.  So obviously, I would NOT recommend testing this theory, or you will die.  \n\nIn answer to your other question, you will actually lose weight if you drink more water.  You are supposed to drink 8-10 8oz. glasses everyday (although that's nearly impossible for most people).  This is a very healthy way to cleanse your entire body via the kidneys.  The way this works is due to salt content.  Water moves to higher concentrations of salt to balance things out between the cells in your body--called osmosis.  When you drink a lot of water, the salt in your kidney cells are much easier removed through a complex filtration process.  So in layman's terms, it pulls water from your body to follow the leaving salt from the cells.  Hence, water weight loss.  Hope this helps.

yes! it is actually water weight though. you cant really get rid of it becuase whenever you eat something with water in it (which is practically everything) then you get water weight. it is not fat though. if you dont eat a few days you will notice that you rapidly lose weight. you are losing all the water from your body. one day i just did not eat at all, i lost 3 pounds in one day. so yes, there is wate4r weight but you dont want to lose it, unless you choose to not eat.

Try eBay if you really want it.  But it's not going to melt fat away.  It will make you sweat, so you'll lose some water weight temporarily.  As soon as you have a drink, the weight will be back.

Only water weight, which means your going to gain it right back as Soon as you drink anything...so no. Sorry. Would be nice though wouldn't it? \nInteresting note that kinda contradicts the whole sauna thing: Drinking cold water burns slightly more calories then drinking warm or room temperture water because your body has to use energy to heat it up and maitain your overall body temperature. That's key, your body has to use more energy then it takes in to loose weight. You aren't using any energy in a suana. Just sweating off water weight.

If you lose the weight fast, it's going to come back fast.  The first couple of pounds that you lose are going to be pounds from water retention.  Drink a lot of water ... believe it or not, drinking more water, keeps you from retaining it.  While working out is great, keep away from weight training, as muscle weighs more than fat and you'll gain weight in the beginning.  Aerobic exercise is the best ...

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.

Sweating isn't the only way your body sheds water; it also comes out in urine and especially when you exhale. But there is more to losing weight than losing water--especially since you can gain it back by drinking.

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.

Drink lots of water, cut out a lot of salt, cut out a lot of sugar, walk as much as you can, don't sit around playing video games or watching TV.  Easy enough?  Cutting out the salt and drinking lots of water will drop a lot of weight fast because it will get rid of any retained water.

Please don't do that. it's sooo unsafe! I'm also 5'5" and I'm 135 lbs. I'm currently trying to lose 10-15 lbs. Anyway, here's what you SHOULD do with water. Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day. If you drink a lot of water it will help you lose water weight. It sounds quite contradicting to our logic but i'll explain why.\n\nOur body is composed of a lot of % of water and stores it anywhere in our body for future use especially if you only drink a little in a day. But if you constantly drink a lot of water everyday, our body will release the water stored in our body because it will think that it'll never run out of it. Therefore releasing what we call "water weight".\n\nAlso, water can be used as an appetite supressant. Try drinking a glass of water before you eat your meal and you won't eat as much. Replace sodas with water. It can do wonders.\n\nAnd here's another thing, did you know that if you drink ICE COLD water it can actually burn calories? :) This is because it can't be used by our body in its cold state. So our body uses energy to bring it to normal temperature. \n\nSo drink up girl! :) Drink a glass of H2O when you wake up, before meals and after meals and before you go to sleep. :)\n\nOh and I have recently discovered that green tea allows you to burn 80 calories a day.\n\nI hope i've been a help.:) Anyway, since you're trying to lose weight as I am, we can both help each other as we reach our goal weights. We can be weight loss buddies through email or yahoo messenger. If you want to of course. :) my yahoo id is michele_mai.\n\nGood luck in trying to lose weight! I sure am gonna need it. ;)

Absolutely.  Water is a great cleanser and waste disposer.  In the tropical countries the heat is so much, drinking 8 glasses of water per day need not be forced.  Probably we are drinking more.  The question is more relevant in the temperate zones where you do not drink water so much.  Water is necessary for healthy skin as well.  Please check out any of the websites on water, plenty of them around.  Half of them say that there is no proof drinking that much water helps.  But we, in the east, tend to believe otherwise.  Water is so much a part of our daily living.  After all there is nothing called water overloading, since excess water is eliminated by the body very easily too, unless you have a reduced kidney function.

If you want to lose water weight, take a diuretic.  There's an herbal one called StarTrim that will make you lose about five pounds in one day.  I'm not kidding and I am not exagerrating.  You can buy it at most places that sell vitamins (GNC, I know for sure).  It's kind of expensive, the pills stink (they have garlic in them) and you need to take a potassium pill with it.  I swear on my life these things will flush the water out of your system in a heartbeat.
