I drink as much water as I can. Whenever I go some place, I make sure I always have a bottle or a 1 l water jug if it's possible; I choose drinking water over juices or coffee. Basically for me, it boosts my energy -- i learned that sometimes we mistake being hungry from being dehydrated. And yes, it cleanses the body from toxins.

Hi krayzee!(",)
Yes, I think that water helps because its natural chemistry helps in the balance and also it helps to make our body's waste excrete faster from our body.(",)
I do wish I can drink even 8 glasses of water a day.(",) It's a rare thing for me although I love drinking water more than anything else.(",)

Because I go to the gym five times a week I lose a lot of water through perspiration and so have to replace it, so generally speaking I can easily drink 2 litres of water a day to replenish my thirst and to replace the water I have lost. Water does help you lose weight because it makes you feel full up when you drink it. It is also good to flush out your kidneys off the impurities in your body. Water is a remarkable cure and does wonders for your body and not just hydration.

When I had access to really good water and I drank it a lot I did lose weight. They recommend that a person drinks eight glasses of water. Each glass should be eight fluid ounces. Now if you are over weight you should increase this by one glass per ten pounds. I know that can be a lot of water to drink. I personally like it with a slice of lemon in it to aid in the flavor. Good luck :)

I usually drink 3, 16.9oz bottles of spring water. I do thing it helps with weight loss to drink alot, but I can't ever seem to drink that much. Even when I'm not trying to lose weight. I have heard lots of people say it does help with the weight loss though.

I think having the daily recommended amount of water definetly helps your weight loss. I drink 64oz a day but I have heard the requirement has gone up.

Yes I think drinking a lot of water helps lose weight. I drink at least 1 liter of water a day and my husband tries to drink at least 2 liters because he is much bigger than me. I really don't know how that helps but I read about it a lot. Maybe because it gets rid of toxins and also when you drink a lot of water you eat less lol

My sister and I each got a 32 oz bottle and have tried to drink 3 a day. Usually I just try to drink as much of it as I can (an average of one to two bottles) I noticed a difference in my weight--I lost a few pounds with it. It is especially useful if you're used to drinking sodas or higher calorie drinks that tend to be empty calories. And if you get sick of water, try a low-fat milk. I have been drinking skim milk for years, and with all the new research out on it, I try to have a couple of glasses a day.
