Nice article.

If I am reading it correctly it sounds like it is saying that we should get a lot of our water from fruits and veggies - consequently we do not need eight glasses of water a day. Maybe drink 4 glasses and get the rest of it from our food.

Also, relying on a high intake of water alone will not get us to lose weight. We have to also eat less.

When your body breaks down fat, it produces primarily sugar and water.

Certainly, drinking water will help aid in someone losing weight. After all, it has no sugar and calories. It simply does what a drink is supposed to do: Hydrate the cells, which allows for normal cell functioning.

One should also eat fruits and vegetables as part of a balanced diet. Sporadic amounts of grain can be introduced, but too much is problematic. Thus, even if one were only on fruits and vegetables, that's a good diet.

When I speak of "diet", I'm merely speaking of a way one should eat, not the intent to lose weight, though that will be the end result if someone is very overweight.

Regarding water: Do not drink flouridated tap water. Flouride is very bad for the system, regardless of what the medical establishment states. I recommend spring water or distilled water.
