Question 1

does drinking 3 liters of water a day, help with weight loss?

Accepted Answer

How about 2 liters?: Drinking water can help with weight loss if it is substituting for other drinks that contain calories. Drinking water (or plain green tea) before a meal can also fill up the stomach somewhat, and make a person satisfied with a smaller meal. If substituting water for non-fat milk, one would need another source for vitamin d and calcium. Caution when >2 liters/day (excess water dilutes the sodium).

Question 2

how many glasses of water should i consume in a day if i am 230lb 5'7"  and to help with weight loss.

Accepted Answer

There is a lot: of support for including generous water intake in a weight loss diet. Ingesting water temporarily increases your energy expenditure burning more calories. Drinking water before meals suppresses one's appetite, especially for middle aged/older folks. Drinking water (zero calories) means you're NOT drinking higher calorie drinks. How much: up to 2 liters. Not much more...can be toxic. Good luck!

Question 3

will having honey cocktails of raw honey, cinnamon powder and hot water twice a day in the morning and in the afternoon help weight loss?

Accepted Answer

Weight Loss Myths: Nope. Not in any way. But, eating smaller meals consisting mostly of protein sources will help you with hunger and cravings and if you combine that with appropriate exercise you will find success.

Question 4

might consuming 8 glasses of water a day help with weight loss and acne?

Accepted Answer

No: It won't touch acne. It may make you a little bit more full and you may therefore eat less. The nonsense about water helping acne derives from the prescientific notion that it "washes out poisons." your personal physician has scientific rx's that will clear acne; weight loss comes from changed lifestyle. Good luck and stay proactive.

Question 5

is 16 oz. of electrolyte fluid, and 112 oz. of water in a day unhealthy? diet instructions given by medi weight loss doctor

Accepted Answer

Depends on solution: The content of the "electrolyte fluid" is the key to answering the question. Your daily requirements for fluid losses are exceeded by this volume, but quite acceptable if you have normal kidney function. The fluid should contain at least the daily requirements for sodium and potassium, and ideally would include additional additives (such as magnesium) in appropriate amounts.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Weight loss: Commonly one's account of the number of calories they take is lower than what is really consumed. Another common occurrence is that the body goes through a block while losing weight due to lower metabolism during dieting.  There is also the gain of muscle mass from exercises. Sometimes adding lean protein calories helps. It is best to speak to a dietitian.

Accepted Answer

Hard to know: B"sd

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Unhealthy loss: Fasting is an unhealthy and unsustainable method of weight loss which is not recommended.

Moreover fasting can lead to serious complications such as dehydration, kidney failure and other dangerous complications. See your physician to discuss healthy ways to lose weight.
