I heard that by drinking 4-8oz glasses of water within 30 minutes in the morning, 4-8oz glasses of water within 30 minutes in the afternoon and the same amount between 5 and 6 in the evening leads to a flushed system and rapid weight loss. Of course folled by a health diet and exercise. Sounds great...has anyone ever tried this or know of anyone who has done it with remarkable results? I also looked it up on the internet. I found info about it but I would like to know if anyone here has tried this. |

You would just be losing water weight...that is all. HOWEVER, drinking lots of water throughout the whole day will keep you from mistaking thirst for hunger. Many people eat becuase they think they are hungry, but they are just thirsty. SO I guess you could lose weight if you drank some water when you feel hungry to see if that is the culprit! |

If you drink ice water(with a temp of 0 degrees C) you will burn calories as you bring the water's temp up to your body's temp. So make sure it's cold water that you drink! |

im not an expert or anything, but i think if u followed a healthy diet and exercised... you would lose weight anyway. no matter how much water u drink in 30 minutes, or pills you take, or anything like that. but what do i know? |

I am a weight loss counselor and you should never drink more that 12 glasses of water a day.It will wash out your Electrolites.and mess with your blood cells..I don't advise this .. Stick to a weight loss plan and exercise.. you can not snap your fingers and lose weight it takes time and effort, trust me I lost 120 lbs... |

I lost 120 lbs in 6 months by eating vegetables, tuna fish, turkey, cottage cheese fruit. I also drank alot of water about a gallon a day. When i feel bloated and am retaining water i will drink over that amount and fast and the weight comes right off......up to 10 lb.s in 2 days. So yes i say to definetly replace soda and juice with water and you will notice results quickly........ |

I tried this apple cider vineger diet for a year . I did not lose weight though but there were other benefits which I did not anticipate. I had a problem of having chronic tonsilitis and frequent flu, that problem stopped for ever. My immune system improved a lot. If I do get a flu its only once in a year/two years. Even my own GP asked if I took my tonsils out. My skin became beautiful and glowing, everybody commented about this. These were my observations about cider vineger diet, But honestly I never lost weight. |

For the people who have tried the Apple Cider Vinager diet? Did you feel more energy?? Did you try it alone, or combine it with exercise and a healthy diet? What form did you use, pills or liquid? I am thinking about trying and have read many different acounts on the diet. Some are all for it, and others are dead against it. Just thought I would ask someone's opinion who has actually tried it. Thanks for the information. |

I drink a few tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar
in a glass of water everyday. I do it because it's good for a lot of things (not just to help with losing weight).It strengthens the heart and lowering cholesterol levels and high blood pressure which contributes to heart attacks and strocks. It's full of potassium and helps fight cancer. It's just good for your body over all in many other ways. |

Thats a very simple answer to your question. Weight is not everything and if you have been excerising then you have developed your muscles. To be honest, its not our weight that bothers us, its out FAT! And on that note muscle weighs more than fat! Just be happy to be 2 dress sizes smaller! |

Water... Drink It Up!
I learned this from a tennis coach years ago and followed it... DRINK WATER before, during and after matches... I mean a lot! Thirst is slow to be appreciated. It is such an insidious monster. When you are at your “max” and nothing is working, a lack of water will likely be the ultimate cause. Try this before your next game or workout: Deliberately overhydrate. You’ll see a big difference in how you perform and how you feel.

Drinking six to eight 12-ounce glasses of water daily promotes healthy functioning of all the body’s systems and encourages further weight loss. Juices and other sweetened beverages add significant amounts of calories and sugar to your diet. |

Drinking Water has lots of benefits and each person needs to find the maximum that they need to drink every day. There is no magic limit, but everyone should drink at least 8 8oz glasses each day. I drink over a gallon of water daily because I have had kidney stones for the last 10 years. If I don't they are allowed to grow and not filtered as they should be. I adjusted up and down until I found the right mix. It has helped me to maintain the weight I am at and now am starting a limited food, high activity diet. |

drinking water throughout the day is very important other wise your cells get dehydrated and thier membranes dry out. Just think of how a plant looks when you have forgotten to water it. Drinking water helps to cleanse the liver and kidneys and aids in weight loss also helps to reduce the chances of getting degenerative diseases. But avoid drinking large amounts of liquid with any meal as this dilutes the digestive juices and makes it harder to digest your food. |

Water has many benefits and drinking a gallon a day not only will help flush toxins from the body but it will indirectly burn approx. 300 calories through metabolic process as its flushed through your body. As far as stripping your body of minerals, not a big concern assuming you're using a good multivitamin and mineral supplement along with eating healthy during your diet change. And always include exercise involving resistance training and cardio. |

drinking 6 glasses of 4 ounces first thing in the mornin without even brushing ur teeth helps. it helped me. when i did it, i lost wt , my skin cleared up and for glow i used to drink vegetable juices (strained) without condiments.try the water for sure , it makes u feel lighter and also keeps sugar and cholestrol levels low. the water therapy is sure good for young teenagers as it clears pimples and acne. i had a lot of them and they all got cleared. |

Hi Kido, Start by eliminating junk food, make healthy choices. Low fat or not fat. Eat smaller portions, drink more water, about eight glasses a day and exercise more. Walk to school if it is possible, walk to the store etc. small exercise changes at first gradually working your way up. Do stretches while watching favourite tv shows everyday. You'll be surprised at the results. I normally exercisefor an hour five times a week while watching TV. Jogging on the spot for twenty five minutes etc. It has significantly improved improved the way I look and how much I weigh. |

Staying away from carbohydrates (pasta, bread, white flour, etc), sugar, and salt (sodium) will help a LOT. Eliment these, and you'll see results. No more junk food. And as Fatfree2003 said, drink more water and exersize more too. Along with more fruits & veggies and no more transfats (margarine, etc). |

If u drink the water too fast, it will go striaght through you. You should drink it throughout the day. Also, eight cups of water is what we need to be healthy and survive, that kind of stuff. If you want to shed the pounds, you'll have to drink alot more than that. Drinking water is only part of it, it won't help you if you still drink alot of pop and coffee and caffeine, those things can actually dehydrate you and soak up essantial vitamins. |

hey:-) I know what you mean about wanting to lose weight before school starts. I've always been very body concious of myself too. I've never been "overwieght" as far as my health goes, but it took a lot of hard work to get my body down to the size where I thought it looked most lean and fit. One thing that I'll say if you're someone who has a hard time with dieting is keep a journal of what you eat and drink. That way you can keep track of how many calories you're eating and how many nutrients you are getting as well. |
