Water Diet

I need to lose weight fast, so I'm thinking of going on a water diet. I plan to drink 10 to 12 cups of water a day and eat one small meal at dinner. Do you think this diet will help me lose weight fast and is it safe?

Dear Mildred,

The only good thing about this water diet is the amount of water you drink. Most people should drink at least 8 cups of water per day and much more if they are active.

The problem with the water diet you suggested is it's nothing more than a starvation diet. Sure, you will lose weight at first (if you can stick to it) but you'll gain the weight back as fast as you lose it.

This water diet will also slow your metabolism because your body does not burn as many calories when you don't eat. Instead of starving yourself, eat 4 or 5 small meals during your waking hours. Eat 200 to 300 calories each time and include 3 to 4 fast pace walks per week.

Diet and exercise is the only way to lose weight and keep it off. Don't fall into the temptation of drinking just water to lose weight.
