A member asked:
Might consuming a ton of water prevent weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: But there is no benefit to drinking excessive amounts of water, and it can lead to health problems. Moderation is always best. Weight loss is burning up more calories than you ingest. Your body will excrete any extra water you take in -- water weight is not true weight.
