Common belief in Lighter life is that people who drink more water lose more weight. I have upped my water this past week to about 6 liters a day and not seen any improvement.
I was talking to someone at my session who is also doing 6 liters now and has been for atleast 3 weeks. She hasn't seen any significant improvement. She mentioned how she thinks her body is holding on to the water. She talked about how her clothes are tighter in the afternoon then they are in the morning which makes sense to me but since she has been doing this for a while, the water she is holding on to should be roughly the same each week. So she should see results because she has increased her water intake but she claims she isn't.
This got me wondering:
Why is drinking more water supposed to help the weight loss? Does anyone know the science behind it? and does anyone know how much more one could lose if they upped their water by a liter? I was just trying to figure out if more then 4 liters of water really does increase weight loss or it is just a myth...
Anyone else out there who might know.. or is wondering?
(hehe Almost feels like a science experiment)
