Do you believe drinking 2 gallons of water a day will help you lose weight??
Answers: Drinking that much water (especially if it's very cold) will cause some amount of weight loss (due to the kcals burned in order to warm it up inside your body), but that amount of liquid could cause some ill-effects (mineral depletion -- especially sodium and electrolytes).
I've been helping people stay healthy for a bit more than two decades (20 years) and I can tell you that losing weight requires a combination of both exercise and caloric restriction but with a proper nutrition balance. If you want to lose weight in a healthy manner, keep the following in mind:
1) Check with your physician to be certain that you are physically able to reduce your calories and increase your exercise habits safely.
2) Make certain that the calories you are eating are as balanced as possible. Finding out how much protein, carbs, and fats your body needs on a daily basis can really help keep your energy levels high all day long. The #1 reason my clients tell me that they've stopped dieting or exercising in the past is because of low energy ebbs. Also remember that you may need supplements to help things along.
3) While exercising (before, during, and after) be sure to consume enough water. The key is not to be 'thirsty' (overtly) during this time of exercise.
4) Adding weight bearing exercise (i.e., lifting weights) will help to tone your body and the thermogenic (fat burning) effect will last long after you've stopped working out -- even if your workout is simply walking).
5) Remember that you'll probably hit plateaus (times when you'll stop losing weight) several times during your weight loss progress. This is completely normal and is only temporary but it can last for a couple of weeks at a time. It is very important to remember that even if your scale isn't showing progress, your entire body is being positively effected by your efforts.
6) Measure different parts of your body (neck, upper arms, lower arms, chest, abs, waist, belly, butt, thighs, etc.) and do it accurately. Write these measurements down and check them once every 2 weeks. This will help you remember that your body is 'reducing' all over -- not just in one particular area. If you're weight training you may actually notice a slight increase in some areas of your body (don't worry -- if you're a woman you won't start looking like a bodybuilder).
7) Keep focused on your end goal and concentrate on losing maybe 1 pound a week -- sometimes you'll lose more, sometimes less. As long as it's an average, it's okay.
8) Lastly, remember that you're doing a WONDERFUL thing for your body.
Keep up the good work. I've worked with hundreds of people in the past 20 years (mostly women) who have lost (individually) HUNDREDS of pounds safely. Better still, they've kept it off -- Kay lost over 350 pounds and has been at her goal weight for 7 years now.
As for what to take, that depends entirely on what your body needs. Anyone who suggests that you take something that 'works for everyone' is either confused or deluded. For example, if you had a twin brother or sister your bodies could react completely different to certain supplements or foods on a metabolic level.

no it will not--
No, but I do believe that you will be less thirsty and have to spend more time in the bathroom.
No, I believe drinking 2 gallons of water a day will flush all your electrolytes and have the potential to kill you.
well its gonna keep me from eating because im that full
that's a lot of water, you are only need to drink 8-9 glasses, you will feel very bloated and you won't be able to get off the toilet. Just eat better and excercise.
No. I believe a healthy diet and exercise will keep me in shape (I'm not overweight) or help overweight ppl slim down. Water is still important to keep your body hydrated and certainly it has no calories so it's the best slimmers drink.
Moderate is the key. Too much water harms your internal organs because it does not give them any room for other chemical. I drank six bottles of water every day and i lost four pounds in two weeks. So i guess water really does help you lose weight.
too much of anything is not good for you. Too much water flushes out your sodium and messes up your chemistry in your body. I know you go through life and not even think about them but if you flush out your salt and potassium it can cause a fatal heart attack.Even in young people.
Don't drink quite that much (assuming you are in the l20-l60 pound range) but it couldn't hurt. What does hurt is if you follow up with Burger King, haha.. hey, you know what? YOu can eat unlimited quantities of certain items (watermelon, salads, hell you know 'em all I bet) in combination w/the agua, man.. that'll help ya more.. AND keep moving! It's like 'money in the bank' man. each and every physical thing ya do. Don't 'walk..' run! later-
