Question 1

i'm thin but want to be thinner. what kinds of things reduce water weight and prevent appetite?

Accepted Answer

Hmmm: Listen friend, I'm just an oncologist and not an expert in this field but when I hear someone say they are "thin but wanna get thinner", I get a bit worried. I humbly suggest you visit your doc to determine if you truly need to lose fat through exercise and thoughtful modification of food intake. It is good to eat well and exercise but in the right context and with proper supervision. Best to you.

Question 2

Watch/ reduce Na: Watch and reduce sodium intake. Decrease fluid to 1000cc a day.

Question 3

how to lose water weight fast but natural?

Accepted Answer

Salt restriction: Water retention is actually usually caused by sodium retention. That easiest way to reduce water retention is to reduce the amount of sodium intake. The recommended amount of sodium on a low sodium diet is 2000 mg per day. Most food items will have the sodium in milligrams label on them.

Question 4

how much water weight can you lose overnight?

Accepted Answer

Not much: I have seen pregnant women with lots of swelling lose several pounds of water weight over night.

Question 5

how can someone most easily lose water weight?

Accepted Answer

Go swimming: Or just tread water, or even sit in a water-filled tank up to your neck if you can find one. The pressure of the water in the tank will get extra salt water out of you.

Question 6

how can i lose 5kg of water weight as i am already quite lean?

Accepted Answer

A bad illness...: A normal lean person doesn't have 5 kg of water to lose. "water is life", as the saying goes. Losing 5 kg of water may occur if the person gets a bad illness, such as diarrhea and dehydration (like getting cholera), or gets a kidney disease in which he urinates out too much of his precious water.

Question 7

im 120 lbs 5'1 how much weight will i lose doing a 16 day water fast?

Accepted Answer

PLEASE ...: Don't engage in a lengthy water fast to lose weight. It is unhealthy. Your body will go into starvation mode. Your metabolic rate will drop and then you can easily put weight on.

Question 8

iv giving  up my sweets and have drank nothing but water for weeks! so why am i gaining the weight instead of losing it?

Accepted Answer

Eating other cals: Mathematically speaking, you must have increased calories somewhere. As if you eat less calories and increase exercise to burn off more than you take in, you will lose weight.  Take a diary reading of your daily meals and follow-up with a nutritionist to help formulate an improved meal plan to help you lose.  Best wishes.
