(or don't they say that..) What if you keep drinking a lot. Then you wouldn't lose water weight, right?

Replies 2kewl4u2know Posted at 12:19 pm on Dec. 8, 2008 It's not the water weight.  Usually what it is is that when the person just stops eating, the lose all of the extra fat because that is now what the body is feeding off of.  The reason why people gain it all back though is because once they hit that mark, they tend to just binge eat, worse than they did before they starved themselves. spartan09 Posted at 12:19 pm on Dec. 8, 2008 That doesn't make sense. If you stop drinking, you'll loose water weight, yes. Eating won't effect that. If you stop eating, you'll just get weak. And loose actual weight while your body burns fat, and then muscle. Don't do that. Stay healthy. If you keep drinking, no, you won't loose water weight.
