Can you lose weight by drinking alot of water?

Can you loose weight by drinking alot of water? What are some kind of cheap ways of losing weight without all this working out and diet junk... Maybe a walk around the block twice a day?
Answer:
Plenty of water is an excellent start.Walking a few miles a day is another great idea.Best of luck to you,
~M~
drinking water assists your body in flushing toxins, and maintaining hydration for efficient metabolism. It also gives a feeling of fullness so you tend not to feel as hungry all the time. In this manner it assists in weight loss. But controlling your diet and regular daily exercise (walking is excellent) are truly the only ways to lose weight effectively and keep it off. So the diet and exercise thing isn't JUNK, it's the truth.
Water will certainly help, especially if you currently drink a lot of soda and sugary latt茅s. Nix soda and drink only water. Add lemon if you get bored. As much as you don't want to hear it, eating the right foods and exercise are the only way to have a healthy life. Walking the block is a great start.
No, there used to be a "water diet"... everyone went around drinking tons of water all day and evenings... no one lost weight. The only way to loose weight is through diet and exercise.. a couple of walks around the block will not produce results.
No - but drinking a large glass of water before each mean will help you feel fuller more quickly! Cheap ways of dieting are simply eating less processed food, loads of fresh ( and cheap) fruit and veg, balancing your diet properly and avoiding fatty ( and expensive) cakes, sweets, biscuits etc! Walking is a good start, but try to build up gradually to a jog around the block a couple of times a day, drive less, walk more, take the stairs, not the lift, etc! Its actually fun to do this, leaves less of a carbon footprint, and is good for you!!
Good luck!

yes i think its called the detox diet. go here for more info,

You should drink no more than a 2 liter bottle of water per day. Portion control (like a 1/2 cup of veggies) a piece of meat the size of your hand, limit eating out but if you do eat at Wendy's, less fat. Walking is excellent but around the block doesn't get your heart pumping. Also get a pilates DVD and do it. It will tighten up all your muscles. Pilates is just a little bit more active than yoga.
Here is a simple way to lose weight - the only way to lose weight, in fact. Burn more calories than you eat, or to put it another way, eat fewer calories than you burn.It is that simple. If you eat more calories than you burn, you will get fat. Plain and simple. So, eat less or work harder. There is no way around it.I drink 48 to 64 ounces of pure water everyday. It flushes out fat and toxins. Muscles need water. It can make you feel less hungry. If you are usually dehydrated, you body may try to retain water, so staying hydrated will help you lose water weight.
Only one way to lose weight: spend more calories than you take in. It's mathematical.Drinking water may assist you if, for example, you take a resolution to drink a glass of water each time you are hungry outside of meals. Water = 0 calorie, so you're not doing any harm there.You may diet without the work-out, but that may lead to loss of muscle mass and lower metabolism, which will lead to fast weight gain once you quit the diet, and that weight gain may be superior to what you lost.95% of diets uterly fail, with weight regain within one year. The only way to success is a total change of life habits. Its even better to lose the weight that way, as it is easier on your body (skin... ect), on your mood (and on your friends ;-).There are medication to cut off hunger, but all of them have horrific side-effects, and may be life-endangering. I'm afraid hard work, and your will, are the main tools here. The most difficult time is at the first month or so. After that, it gets easy and natural. And the walk is a nice way to exercise too. Nothing more complicated than that is necessary. So if you dont like the gym, just dont go. I dont like it either, and I go running outside instead.
I think drinking water is good for you as it is good for your skin and your digestive system. It helps clean everything out.
Some people drink water before they eat because that way you feel full and are not tempted to eat as much.
You have to be careful to watch your salt intake as well as drinking water as salt retains water in your body.
There are a lot of very faddy diets about which promote fast weight loss but the weight piles back on again straight afterwards and your body can go into starvation mode and actually hang on to fat instead of burning it. I think a healthy balanced diet and exercise are better. Walking is one of the best things you can do. It helps you to feel happy, keeps your heart healthy, it costs nothing and you can fit it in when you want.About your question concerning exercise. I bought i pedometer and do 10,000 steps a day this is supposed to be enough to keep you healthy. I increased my general activity by walking instead of going on the bus and carrying my shopping back on foot and using stairs instead of lifts and it is surprising how it all mounts up.I also recently got a get active guide from the checkout at tesco. It is full of diet and health tips. I am playing frisbee and going swimming at the moment as it is important to do something you enjoy so you keep the activity up.
There is also a chart in it on which you can watch your progress.

Can you Lose body weight without losing your chest?


Answer:
yes you can, but not if you are obsese or have an overly large amount of body fat. i went from 20% to 17% and didn't lose any in my chest and i wear a 32DD
Yes but work out. If you only diet then you will lose fat and your body doesn't know where you want to lose weight. If you work out you will target certain spots on your body.

Can you lose 6-8% bodyfat in 10 weeks?

My BMI is 16 and I want it to be 10 or 8 so I can get a nice, rock hard six pack. I eat a great diet and exercise/lift weights a ton. Can I get a rock hard six pack in 10 weeks?
Answer:
you mention both the BMI and body fat percentage. they are not interchangeable and represent 2 totally different measurements.is your BMI 16 or is your body fat 16%?
Yes you can loose that much in that amount of time. I know of someone who did around somehing like that.
All I can say is I hope you are a guy and not a girl. And I think you meant your body fat percentage is 16% and not your BMI is 16!I don't know if that is realistic, probably not. You can't rush fat loss and it takes time to gain muscle. Just be patient and you will see results.HTH : )

Can you lose 20lbs in 30 days with exercise and strict diet?

i need to losee 20 ilbs. im watching what i eat and im drinking water. i am also working out every day for an hour cansomeone give me any tips that wiwll help me with my workout.
Answer:
Yes I lost 15lbs in a little over 2 weeks. 5lbs a week is more than safe and it will take a while for you to gain it back. Drink only water kick soda tea any drink with sugar, even milk if you can. I ate atleast 2 meals a day but healthy meals, no junk food of course, nothing overly greasy, fish is probably the best meat on earth for losing weight.For your workout do cardio nothing but cardio, swimming is great but I found better results playing tennis. Just exercise HARD if you ride a bike ride it HARD for an hour.A low carb diet is a great diet in general and for body building but not that effective for cardio based exercising.
You can't lose 20 lbs in 30 days. At least not in a healthy way. 2 pounds per week is the ideal. Quick weight loss = VERY easy to gain back.
i wouldn't recommend trying to lose weight that fast. I don't think anyone else would either.
No
Most of it will be water weight which u will gain back when u drink water,
nd if u wanna lose weight u hav to switch up ur calorie intake so ur metalbolism can change nd strt eatin up body fat after it burns up ur calories
cut down on grains and cereals (rice, bread etc,) potatoes
you can lose 20lb in 30 days. I did, I went low-carb, I made it personalized for me, And went for walks every day for about 40minutes. I drank water, and maybe a diet soda once in a while. The first week was hard, but after i realized I lost weight it gave me motivation. Good Luck.
i did it before, i actually did it in 3 weeks (but i pretty much stared) just make sure you still eat healthy and exercise when you hit your goal weight. i stayed the same. good luck
if there is a swimming pool near your house, swim for like 30 mins. because when you swim you use almost every part of your muscle. also running uphill works out a lot of ur leg muscle and makes you run faster.
Yes. Avoid ALL snacks, juices, and soft drinks. I lost 20 pounds in about a month just by switching to green tea (without the sugar, and creamer that I put in coffee) and eating only once a day. Most diets DONT recommend this, but it worked for me.

Can you lose 16 pounds in 30 days?

and if u alot of salad can you lose weight?
Answer:
Yep salad, Gym (weights %26 Cardio) lean muscle burnes more calories. Running is also good. Ephredine also can help but at your own risk!!Be carefull. Remember you are beautiful. Dont feel you have 2 loose weight!
eat nothing and run like an ethiopian everyday
If you lose 16 pounds in 30 days, there is something wrong with you. At most, you should be able to lose half that amount in 30 days. 2 pounds max a week is about right. 16 pounds in 30 days is seriously unhealthy. Eating salad isn't going to make you lose weight. If you eat a ton of salad with fatty dressings filled with things with lots of calories and just sit around all day, you might gain weight. You've got to exercise and keep your calories down. Get your heart moving. Do cardio. Do some weight lifting or resistance exercises. Eat healthy low calorie salad, but don't neglect other foods with the vitamins and nutrients you need.
10 lbs would be good.
It wouldn't be too much to soon.
no you can not because what happened if you loose weight to fast you will gain back fast. the average healthy weight loose is 1 to 2 pounds a week and by just eating saled you are starving your body. yes saled is good for you but it's just not enough nutrition for your body. for my self i lost 16 pounds in three months at a healthy way. don't do any of those fad diets thay just don't work.
can it be done - yes
should it be done - no unless you are highly overweight and watched very carefully by a doctor and physical trainer. personally I've lost 13 pounds in 2 and a half weeks but that was when I weighed over 260lbs on and should only weigh for my height roughly 150

Can you loose weight walking?

I hate to run it hurts my knee. Is it possible to loose weight ( just as much) with walking? ( diet included) I heard you only burn fat while running .
Answer:
Walking definitely works as well as running. Running is just fast and you spend less time doing the required exercise. I found that running was way too painful for me, but I get great benefits from walking. So do the rest of the ladies in our walking group, all of them look so much better than they did when we first began. So get out there, get your buddies, get your music, get your good looking outfit, and watch them grow baggy on you as you get that walking plan into full swing.
speed walk.
You can lose weight with walking, I did. I lost sixty pounds walking for about eight months. You would walk at a brisk pace for about twenty minutes daily.
Also, during this time, I eradicated sugar from my diet and ate only wheat bread and wheat pasta.
My friend did the same thing two years before I did. I followed her example.
To some extent yes.But you cant depend entirely on it.
sure you can.. however i recommend starting out fast, maybe alternating speed every 5 mins or so, that way your improving your lungs and heart as well as burning fat. i usually try for a brisk walk for about a hr..
No, you can burn a lot of fat while walking. Walking is a good form of exercise that can do wonders for you, provided that you maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle in general.
Walking at least 30 min. a day is actually better for you. A personal trainer told me that so it must be true.
you have to walk every day,(about 1hr) don't know if you'll loose weight but you'll get thinner
It is possible to lose weight, but you have to do more walking and/or do other exercise to compensate for the loss of body movement.You can go to a gym and do the stairmaster or stationary bike. If you get into a pool and run end to end and go as long or longer as you walk, you will lose weight. People need aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Use weights. Light weight/high repetition to tone or heavy weight/low repetition to gain muscle.
I walk virtually everywhere I go, and if it weren't for this, I would not maintain a slim figure. The key, I think, is to integrate it into your daily routine. Walk to go where you have to go instead of sitting in a car.I live in the city (Chicago). Maybe you should move here. I hear it's safer than Detroit. Here, all the suburbanites drive their giant SUVs instead of walking. I would not want to be like them.
I'm walking. I love me, I'm walking. The control over me. I have. Pain, People thougths, Family "not going to make it" Look at ME I'm LIVING!! How are you LIVING! Sill love you!! {HEAR ME!}
Depends on your body type. Endomorph, ectomorph, mesomorph? They're just major types. There are many different body types! But these three are a good start. Me? I'm a mesomorph. No matter how much walking I do, I only tone muscle. Of course the ectomorph will shed body fat the most quickly.
The goal of exercise is to get your heart rate up (this is referred to as cardio) so you can get your metabolism going and burn fat.If you do casual exercise and never get your heart rate up you will still lose weight but at a much slower rate and then eventually not at all. After awhile without increasing your workout you will hit what is known as a plateau.Unless you intend to do some speedwalking, you may want to consider swimming which will not impact your joints and will allow you to burn just as many calories as you would by jogging. Most cities and counties have indoor pools open year round and can be found by Googling the name of your city and "parks and recreation."
I know from personal experience YES! But it depends on how active you are now. I lost my freshman 30 (yeah for me it was 30 instead of 15) by exercising w/out diet (lost 10 lbs goin to the gym) and then I started weight watchers and walked most days out of the week (lost 20 lbs). You just have to walk at a pace that raises your heart rate to your target level (when you're breathing a little hard, you can't sing, but can talk). Walking has been the most effective thing for me. Good luck!

Can you live off of power bars and still be healthy?

they have so many vitamins and so much protein I'd think you could.
Answer:
No, as you really need a well balanced diet with various foods including whole grains/whole wheat, fruits, vegetables and lean protein including nuts, legumes and skinless chicken. American Dietetic Association: www.eatright.orgThe new Food Pyramid: www.pyramid.gov
most power bars are full of high fructose corn syrup, which isn't good for you if you eat it all the time. Power Bars can be a good ADDITION to your diet, but you should check the ingredients. There are so many different kinds, and some of them aren't any different than a candy bar with added protein.
Youd have to drink a lot of water or you would get backed up.
no. you need real foods, foods like chicken have 10 times the amount of vitamins and minerals that a power bar has and its cheaper to! real food are better to eat period. now to eat a power bar as a snack 3-4 times of week because of lifestyle/schedule is acceptable.
Our bodies aren't designed for processed food, so when that's all you eat your body can't efficiently use them as an energy source, and it's really bad for the digestive system. Your body wants unprocessed foods...fruits, veggies, nuts, meat and whole foods.
Yeah, you could live off of them, but you wouldn't be very healthy.
