If you\u2019re severely dehydrated, your body doesn\u2019t have enough fluids to function properly. Severe dehydration requires hospitalization, while more mild forms can be treated simply by increasing fluid intake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any person can suffer from dehydration, but this condition is particularly harmful to children and the elderly.

It consists of water the body retains instead of letting it go into kidneys. It is often uncomfortable and temporary; this is the exact reason why in the first week of sticking to a healthy diet you might lose a significant number of pounds: that is water weight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Causes_Of_Water_Weight\"><\/span><b>Causes Of Water Weight<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most widespread causes of bloating and excess water weight are salt and carbs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sodium attracts water and keeps it trapped in your body. So, the more your diet is sodium-packed, the more fluid your body will retain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carbs can also have a remarkable impact on fluid retention, particularly if you start adding them back after a period of restricting them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The carbohydrates we don\u2019t use right away for energy will be stored in the body in the form of glycogen. Glycogen pulls in water, so the more glycogen you are storing, the more water you are storing with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some other causes of increased water weight include menstruation and pregnancy among women, as well as certain medications and medical conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/how-to-start-losing-weight-for-beginners\/\">How To Start Losing Weight For Beginners: All Facts, No Fluff<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Dehydration_To_Lose_Weight\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-33424 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4927-1024x576.png\" alt=\"dehydration to lose weight\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4927.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4927-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4927.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4927-1636x920.png 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Frame-4927.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Get_Rid_Of_Water_Weight\"><\/span><b>How To Get Rid Of Water Weight?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the weight is called water weight then you need to stop drinking water to lose it, right? This may sound logical, but in fact, is a potentially disastrous mistake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What you need to flush out water weight (that is not caused by a medication or medical condition) is cutting down on salt and carbs and drinking MORE fluids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned before, salty foods and foods high in carbs tend to increase water weight. This, once again a bit counter-intuitively, does not mean that you should stop adding a pinch of salt to your dishes and suffer trying to shove plain, tasteless food down your throat. By contrast, what you really need to do is exclude processed foods from your menu. The majority of your salt intake is likely to come from those; simply because manufacturers use salt as a preservative, so the product stays on the shelf longer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, you need to drink more water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nap.edu\/catalog\/1780\/drinking-water-and-health-volume-1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Research Council<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the recommended daily intake of fluids, including dishes, foods, and drinks containing liquid like juice, tea, coffee, watermelon, soup, is the following (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nap.edu\/catalog\/1780\/drinking-water-and-health-volume-1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adult men &#8211; 3700 ml (about 123 fl oz) per day<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adult women \u2013 2700 ml (about 90 fl oz) per day<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your body feels extremely thirsty, it will hold on to whatever water it has.
