Is there any scientific evidence to support that?

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.0

OP isn't asking about fat loss.

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?

you will already have lost water weight during the first week of dieting if you are on a steady deficit
why would you care about water weight in terms of weight loss anyway0 -
Lots of myths on this topic. The way I see it, it's very simple: We need a certain amount of water/fluid every day. Food contains water. When dieting and eating less food than we need to maintain weight, we need to replace that water by drinking more.
I think I didn't notice what you were asking Why should we worry about water weight?0 -

I just don't see why you can't google this if you have time to ask on the MFP forums. That is all.0 -
Well if you eat salt you retain water, and to lose this weight you have to flush it out with more water. Thus drinking water can help you lose weight on the short run if you also minimize your salt intake, which can be useful if you are doing competitions in a certain weight class, or when you ate too much salt on one particular day and you want to get rid of it, but this is not a strategy that I recommend on the long run.0

Why don't you go from thread to thread on here and say this to everyone that asks a question that can be found via Google? Seems you may appreciate it as a good use of your time...

Some people care about water weight because they retain more than the average person, and it makes their body uncomfortable. OP, I don't understand the whole drink more to lose water thing, either. I do know limiting sodium and increasing potassium ought to help.0
