Do you think water makes a difference?

[shanny]

Have been doing the 5:2 since jan 10th ish and have lost 6.5Kg which I am happy with - slow but steady and allows me to indulge and fit in with family food most of the time

Sometimes I do 4:3 to help if I need a boost..........

anyway I have found that when I drink lots I lose more - anyone lese?

to be honest iv never really noticed any difference.its Supposed to help to bloat so that may be why you find a difference if uor have been drinking alot. however iv managed to loose 21lbs in 4weeks without drinking the recommendedamount per day. Not through choice i May add, we are living with a very limited water supply (currently living in a caravan whilst waiting on a self build!) and if i had unlimited supply i would defo be drinking 2.5litres a day

I think it can absolutley help- especially with water retention. It helps flush out toxins and other things your body tried to hold on to. I know I just feel better overall when I drink enough... although I'm non too happy at night when I wake up to pee!

Generally speaking though- yes, it's a good thing. But obviously much more is needed to lose weight So kudos!

YES YES YES, I believe I wasn't drinking enough and it slowed down my metabolism. All I did was add more water to my diet and it has helped so much. I also add lemon and ginger to the water from time to time.

Apparently drinking plenty of water boosts your metabolism by approximately 30%. When you think about it the more you drink the more your body has to work to deal with it so it's bound to burn a few more cals. I definitely notice a change in weight loss when I drink at least 3 litres a day.

Yeah I notice a difference when I drink more water or squash xx

in addition to boosting metabolism, i've heard drinking cold water helps burn calories too.

your body has to work to bring the water to body temperature.
