Does increasing your water intake help you lose weight?

Yes, sometimes.
When the water is consumed in reasonable quantities, within the frameworks of a balanced diet and calorie deficit daily regime.

It can be helpful to drink up to 2l of still unflavoured water, very helpful to do so instead of consuming carbonated soft drinks containing high levels of sugar/artificial replacement sweeteners or drinks that include a significant dairy content (e.g. milkshakes, hot chocolate).
But drinking too much water can lead to carrying a large amount of water weight.
There are also further risks of: a visibly bloated appearance, putting pressure on the kidneys, low sodium levels and leading to experiencing symptoms of water intoxication or seizures.

Drink eight glasses of water per day for weight loss and to maintain an ideal weight. And you need to drink more water if you exercise a lot or sweat heavily.

Water makes you less hungry. Truth is, thirst can disguise itself as hunger. So drink more for a feeling of fullness.

Water itself does not burn fat.. it will just helps you to avoid food that makes you accumulate fat. So if you are trying to lose fat, do drink a lot of water.

Yes, just ditch the sugary beverages and replacing it with water, ease your thirst at the same time no calories are sipped into your body.

Yes. There are times your body craves for food? It may be craving for water as it fights to break down the food in your body. So people feel tired and they tuck in to a high calorie snack to give them a boost, but in reality their body was just needing a dose of water
