Water-flushing-fats Diet: The Facts
One cannot deny the fact that water is the basis of Life. Without water, most bodily functions cannot carry on; food cannot be converted to energy, your body cannot carry out repair functions.
But when you want to link fat loss by drinking enough water, it sounded quite bizarre. As quoted:
“If the kidneys are water-deprived, the liver has a double duty assignment. It has to do the work of the kidneys along with its own work. This double time assignment only serves to lower the actual productivity of the liver. It then can’t metabolize fat as quickly as it could when the kidneys do their job with efficiency.
If you allow this to happen, not only are you being unfair to your liver, but you’re also setting yourself up to store fat because you’ve made the liver less efficient at turning stored body fat into energy….” - Raphael Calzadilla from ediet
It is true that water is needed for the proper functioning of the kidney, and liver do indeed converts fats into energy.
But I would like to say that liver directly uses water to break down toxin, flush out toxin and also convert fat into energy, if you want to put it that way.
The fact that toxin, and broken down toxin, get stored in adipose tissue because of the lack of water might be the main reason for the weight gain.
When there is a lack of water, the body’s homeostasis got disrupted and this results in the build up of toxins in the body.
The rule of thumb: Don’t be a camel and drink one gallon at one go, just drink (water) frequently and amply.
