If you are trying to lose weight, a water diet will hinder your long term efforts. Just eat sensibly and eat according to your physical activity. And make sure you are active.

Hi Phillip,
I agree with Joan.
On the other hand, you can drink the recommended amount of water each day if you aren't already doing so.
That'll help with your hydration, energy, digestion, and should also help you to feel a bit more full.
Cut way back on sweets. Don't overdo it with the carbs. Get plenty of exercise and sleep.
It's all just common sense really.
Diets don't work but a level-headed change of lifestyle does work. Furthermore, that's the only thing that will last.
I'm not a medical doctor and I am not giving medical advice nor am I qualified to give medical advice.

Another thing I must say regarding intake of water - it is a known fact that drinking over the recommended amount can cause kidney damage.

I had not heard that overdrinking water will damage you kidneys, beer and spirits Yes but water will flush right through.
If you are wanting to lose weight use water to replace intake from fruit juices and soda's and it will help you on your way

Yes, drinking too much water can cause kidney damage.
An interesting study was done in Walkerton, ON where a number of people died when they drank contaminated water. As they studied the population, they began to discover that some people were showing early stage kidney disease and the only cause was due to them drinking too much water. For some, stopping the excess consumption of water allowed their kidney's to recover. For others, the damage was permanent.
