Robert asks…
How much water do you need to drink to lose the same amount of calories in one pound?
I drink water everyday, all the time. Even though it doesn’t taste well, I still drink it to keep myself hydrating at all times. Now, I’m pretty sure you can lose weight really easily by drinking tons of water and cutting back on your daily intake of calories. How much water do I need to drink daily to lose twenty pounds in the next month? Month in a half?

First of all, the concept of “how much water to I need to drink to lose so much weight” is an erroneous concept based on erroneous information.
I suggest you research this further. Yes, water helps your system work efficiently and being well-hydrated makes your weight-loss efforts work better than being partially dehydrated, but the notion of water CAUSING you to lose weight just isn’t correct.
Once you’re well-hydrated, drinking MORE won’t cause you to lose more weight. It’s the eating healthy foods in healthy amounts and the exercise which cause you to lose weight (for the record, it’s not just a matter of eating LESS but eating RIGHT).
You should usually drink around a gallon of water a day to be hydrated. More if you’re in hot, dry environments and exerting yourself. Check the web and/or ask a doctor for guidelines
But please don’t listen to folk tales, like “drinking more causes more weight loss”. It’s amazing how much misinformation is out there (like in a previous question of yours, some people were trying to say 190lb was just “big boned” or “a little overweight but not obese” – it is obese, not that you should feel bad about that, but you should be realistic about where you stand; you should lose some weight).
Good luck in your healthy weight loss efforts.
