What role does water play is gaining or losing weight?
Our body is made from 75% water. Dehydration creates inefficiency in our body’s chemical processes. Remember, our body attempts to stay in a state of homeostasis. If we give it appropriate water it will release appropriate water. If we fail to give it appropriate water it will hold water. And since a gallon of water weighs 8lbs, holding water can create a lot of variance in ones weight. Perfect water for an active person is two thirds your body weight in ounces. Perfect Water = Body Weight * 2/3(oz) ie 100lb person should drink 66oz of water per day.
