Let’s just say that water is the most critical element in maintaining and facilitating your body’s chemistry (after oxygen, of course). Strip your body of water, and it will strip you of your health, energy, and ultimately, your life!
The generally advised 8 glasses a day are enough if you are an “average” person: 5’8”, 160 lbs. male in good shape! I doubt this applies to you, or else you wouldn’t be interested in weight loss, right?
So, what’s the bottom line?
To stay properly hydrated, you must drink a minimum of 7 oz. of pure (not tap) water for every 10 lbs. of body weight. More if you’re active, work out, or live/work in a dry place. That’s 105 oz. of pure water if you weigh 150 lbs… just over 3 liters.
And don’t try to climb Mt. Everest in one day: GRADUALLY work your way up to the amount that’s right for you.
