How can i lose 5kg of water weight as i am already quite lean?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
