Water and Weight Loss

Water may momentarily suppress appetite, but the effect ends as soon as the water is urinated out. Drinking water is beneficial for individuals predisposed to kidney stones. Using water as a hunger management tool is a waste of time compared to addressing the hormonal root cause. Water itself does not burn fat. The claim that water boosts metabolism is flatly incorrect. Drinking more water does not initiate fat burning or shift the body into ketosis. Weight loss from replacing sodas with water results from reduced sugar calories, not any fat-burning property of water. Water does not remain in the stomach long enough to create meaningful satiety.
