    Seriously? Let's try this again ... There is a claim that if you drink EXTRA water, will help you to lose EXCESS water that your body has stored. Does anyone know if this has been scientifically proven?

    Seriously? Let's try this again ...

    Why can't you google this and search for a study? Lol if you have the time to ask it on the MFP forums; you can search for it on google.

    Wth is wrong with you? Forgot your manners? oops...

    I think his point was that YOU were the one that forgot your manners. Seriously.

    When you drink water you are letting your body know that it doesn't need to retain the fluid it's holding on to, so yes you can lose water weight by drinking more water.
    Also it lowers your sodium levels, helping you pee out water weight. But be careful as low sodium levels are very unhealthy

    aren't there enzymes and *kitten* that collaborate together to keep your water in your body when you don't drink enough

    I follow a girl on Instagram for weight loss and she swears by water. Drinks about 4-5L a day and lost 91lbs in seven and a half months. I've tried to follow her example and am averaging about 3L a day. It's too early to see about its effects on my weight loss but I definitely feel much better for it.

    Don't know if that helps anyone.

    Yeah not really

    cos the 91lbs she lost - that's due to a calorie defecit - not too much water (although she's probably waterlogging herself instead of eating)

    and the rate she has lost at means she will have burned through her LBM much faster than necessary making maintenance an absolute b!tch

    I would not follow her example if you value your health and body composition
