What is the reason why drinking water makes you fat?

Perhaps everyone has heard such a sentence: "I even get fat by drinking water", which is usually used by those who are overweight to mock themselves. Perhaps everyone thinks this sentence is nonsense. People believe that water has no calories, and drinking water will be excreted from the human body and will not make you fat. In fact, some people will gain weight just by drinking water. So what is the reason for this? Let us introduce it in detail below.

reason:

1. The water you drink contains calories, such as low-sugar drinks.

Second, people may have problems with their kidneys or other organs' drainage functions, such as a bad liver or heart, which may cause them to gain weight due to drinking too much water. This type of obesity is water retention rather than fat gain, and can be solved with diuretics.

Can drinking water help you lose weight? The rumor is that the human body's metabolism consumes calories and produces water. If you consume more than 5,000cc of water a day, you will consume more than twice as many calories as a normal person. Moreover, the feeling of fullness from drinking water will affect your normal food intake, occupying space in the stomach, so you will naturally eat less. Modern people often deliberately reduce their water intake and avoid going to the toilet frequently because they are busy or inconvenient at work or school, so they often have the problem of insufficient water intake. In fact, this habit of deliberately reducing water intake is very bad. Except for patients with heart disease and kidney disease who must limit their water intake due to disease factors, ordinary people should drink more water. But please note that there are limits to drinking water, and it is not the case that drinking more is healthier. For example, if you drink a lot of water every day for a long time in order to lose weight, you will suffer from "water poisoning" within a month.

Water intoxication refers to drinking excessive amounts of water for a long time or drinking a large amount of water in a short period of time. The body must excrete the excess water through urine. The excreted water contains important electrolytes. If this continues for too long, the electrolytes in the body, mainly sodium, will be diluted. In the early stages, symptoms include weakness, rapid heartbeat, dry mucous membranes, and loss of skin elasticity. In severe cases, there may even be convulsions, impaired consciousness, and coma. In theory, "filling the stomach with water" to expand it can temporarily create a feeling of fullness, but hunger does not only come from the stomach. The level of blood sugar concentration and visual and olfactory stimulation also play a big role. Friends who want to lose weight are advised to drink about 2,000 to 2,500 cc of water every day. Drinking 500 to 1,000 cc more occasionally is harmless, but using drinking water as a means of losing weight is questionable, because by the time results appear, your health has often been sacrificed.
