    Water intake?

    Curious how water intake impacts weigh ins/overall water weight loss? I was previously drinking a gallon a day, I recently cut back a bit. I’m wondering how that will effect me? I’ve never really looked into water intake.

    It has no influence on actual fat loss, assuming it doesn't affect your ad libitum calorie intake

    As for water retention, I'm no expert but I suspect sodium and carb intake rather than water intake determines that - assuming you aren't deliberately avoiding water intake.

    Same here. I don’t believe the amount of water you drink, as long as it’s not very low amounts, affects water retention. Sodium and carbs do. If you drink a lot more water you will just pee a lot more. Obviously you will weigh more if you drink a bottle of water right before a weigh in.

    I kinda questioned the same thing which is why I cut back to probably half a gallon. Don’t even stress water anymore, if I want to drink a cup I will compared to stressing over getting that gallon in.

    When you pee if its clear you have enough water. Excess water does nothing except cause you to need to find a bathroom every 30 minutes.
