A member asked:
Im drinking a lot of water cause of antibiotics, they make me thirsty and im losing weight, any connection to water making you lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not...: Drinking moderate amount of water more likely fills the stomach up and indirectly causes a decrease in appetite and probably the reason why you are losing some weight.
