Article 10: Avoid Water Reduction and Skim Milk/Coffee/Juice Diets When Losing Weight, and Recommend Vegetables That Help with Weight Loss

Don't lose weight by "reducing water weight"!

During weight loss, it is necessary to control your diet appropriately, but some people even restrict their water intake, believing that drinking too much water will make them fat, which is incorrect.

In fact, insufficient water intake is a major no-no for weight loss.

Dr. Hall, an American obesity expert, points out that if people don't drink enough water, they will become obese, experience decreased muscle elasticity, decline in the function of various organs, increase toxins in the body, suffer from joint and muscle pain, and may even develop diseases such as "water retention".

Why do dieters sometimes develop water retention from drinking too little water? It turns out that insufficient water intake in obese individuals prevents the timely metabolism of excess body fat. Conversely, in a dehydrated state, the body spontaneously retains water as compensation (also known as "water retention"), which actually increases weight.

This condition can also disrupt the body's metabolism, leading to serious consequences.

Water retention can be classified into acute and chronic phases.

In the early acute phase, symptoms may include generalized swelling, blurred vision, increased salivation, muscle cramps, and increased intracranial pressure. In the later stages, symptoms may include abnormal behavior, disorientation, agitation, seizures, and even coma. In severe cases, respiratory and cardiac arrest may occur within hours.

In the chronic phase, most patients experience symptoms such as drowsiness, headache, weakness, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, and muscle cramps.

When patients replenish adequate fluids, water retention will be suppressed, and symptoms will be relieved.

Therefore, dieters should not "reduce water intake." On the contrary, while controlling food calories, drinking plenty of water can make metabolism function more normally, and weight is easier to control.

The water you drink may cause a temporary increase in weight, but it will be excreted from the body quickly and will not remain in the body for long.

Of course, people with heart, liver, or kidney failure are an exception.

It has been proven that many obese people have regained their ideal weight and improved their health by drinking more water while properly controlling their diet. Drinking more water can be considered a key to weight loss for obese people.
