Drinking water...why??

[Cuppacocoa]

Hi all,

I know from reading on here and from other souces that it is crucial to drink around 2ltrs of water a day when trying to lose weight. I was wondering...why? Is it just to help make you feel a bit fuller, or does it have a purpose like breaking down fat or something? Would love to know there's a good reason for me to be visiting the lav every two blinking minutes! :tear_drop::tear_drop::drool:

You need to drink water otherwise you will die from dehydration !

With a restricted calorie intake you wont get as much fluid from your food as you would have pre op, water also helps the body break down fat cells and flush out toxins.

Hi
Ditto to Silversurfer's wise words but i'm not a water drinker have tried it in so many forms but unsuccessfully so i drink weak reduced sugar diluting juice and aim to get 2 litres down a day x

I read about this just last night,it is one of the most important things you have to do now for the rest of your life.Because of not getting water from the volume of food you used to eat you have to keep from dehydrating by drinking lots of water in small amounts,frequently.Caffiene will de hydrate you so steer clear of exssesive coffee/tea consumption.Water helps lubricate joints,flush toxins,promote healing,good hair/skin.We are made of water so keep it topped up!
