is it possible that drinking a lot of water to avoid us from eating a lot makes us fat?

OK, eating is a good thing, eating balanced meals and having a snack between breakfast and lunch and lunch and dinner is good for your body, the less you eat, the slower your metabolism is, the more you eat, the faster it is. A person who doesn't eat much is more likely to be heavy set then someone who eats more, of the right foods of course. When your metabolism works slowly it takes longer to break down and separate good from bad and that leads to weight gain because your body is not separating good carbs from bad and good fats from bad, ect. The faster your metabolism is the faster your body is going to to digest the food, where your energy comes from, and then you will use that energy to burn off calories, drinking only water is a good thing because our bodies are made up of mostly water and we have to replace the water that our bodies use to sweat , however it is not good to only drink water and eat little food because your body and metabolism are not working quickly enough to turn food into energy so you are not going to burn off enough calories, which in the end makes sense about why someone who ate very little would be heavy set compared to someone who ate the right amount of food, healthy food that is.

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.

No.  \n\nDrinking a reasonable amount of water to excess amounts of water will no impact on muscle growth.\n\nSevere dehydration is a different story...and could have a negative impact.\n\nBut to answer your question, NO...drinking water does not make your muscles bigger.

More then likely paranoid.  depending on what you ate you might just have water gain, if that is the case, its possible that your feet, calves, and ankles will swell.  As far as gaining that much fat over a weekend, I wouldnt worry about that.\n\nOkay heres where I'm about to blow your mind.  If it is water gain, stay away from salt and drink more water to level out

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.

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.

Look, if you don't drink water, your body primitively starts to store all fluids, which in turn makes you bloat, which in turn,makes you put on weight. Drink warm water with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Why warm water? Because it is easier to digest and your body doesn't burn energy on heating it in the stomach. Filtered water, preferably.

Hi,\nThe answer is yes. Water dilutes the acid in your stomach. That's why it's not a good idea to drink water while you are eating. Because the water dilutes the stomach acid, it means your food doesn't get digested properly.

if you eat more calories than you use, eventually, anything can make you fat.

No. It's not the mass of what you eat, but the calories of what you eat that will determine the amount of weight you gain.\n\nExample: After drinking 1 kg of water, you will gain 0 kg of weight because water has 0 calories and you will pass it all during the day.

No more so than drinking any liquid. At least with diet soda, you're not adding any calories to the mix.  In my experience, water can have that effect--at least a temporary feeling of fullness.  Plus water is better for you than soda.  Just don't overdo it.

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.

Yes, but not a significant amount.  When you drink ice cold water, your body uses energy and burns calories to bring the water up to your normal body temperature.  Check out the source link for more detail into exactly how this works.

first of all, it's absurd.  The body is 70% percent water which is found in the organs, skin, tissue and muscle.  The body HAS to have water to function.  What most diets and these silly rituals do is rid the skin first of water.  So of course you lose weight but you're losing the water in your skin.  Your fat's not going anywhere.  Fat is only burned when energy expelled uses it to function.  But it looks to the food sugars first.  The key is to not use pure sugars (or in moderation) so that the body goes to the fat for the energy it needs.  Wrap yourself in saran wrap and you'll end up crinkly and dizzy.  Then as soon as you drink anything, you;re right back to square one.  Think about this, if there was something so revolutionary, WE'D ALL be hearing about it on the news cause someone would become an instant billionaire from marketing it.  Instead, they're becoming billionaires by false advertising cause most people don't want to watch what they eat and excercise.

They shoot for helping you lose a pound and a half to two pounds of fat per week.   The key word is "fat" because often people lose more weight (not fat) because they start drinking a lot of water or lose some muscle because of the decrease in calories.  Your body holds on to less water when you intake a lot so you can lose "weight" that way too.  Expect to lose about 8 - 9 pounds of fat if you follow your diet exactly.

No..Very hard to drink too much water.You need so much.60% of your body weight is water.\nWater Intoxication  only occurs if your fluid balance is upset by kidney or elecctolyte malfunction;or if you are a small baby who is being fed water instead of milk.\nAs a healthy adult,you need 2500mls of water daily.Usually drinking provides 1500mls of this,food gives 800mls and the metabolism produces amother 200mls. \nA useful rule of thumb is,drink whenever you are thirsty,after each meal and an extra glass before bedtime.
