I read that if the only drink you have is water for a week, you could lose weight. Because it helps release the water weight your body holds onto when you drink sugary drinks. I don't know if I believe this. I may not even be understanding it correctly. If you've heard of this or did it, could you tell me about it. How does it work? What exactly does it do? Thanks. (link)

The water diet is just another fad diet with no science to back it up. The only way to lose weight is to burn up more calories than you take in. I'm on a 1500 calories a day diet and I've lost 50 pounds thus far. The only thing drinking large quantities of water will do is make you urinate more often.
Mind you, water is better, for a whole raft of reasons, than soft drinks which often use aspartame, a neurotoxin in big enough doses and the cans are lined with a substance called BPA that has its own adverse health effects. Also, studies have connected a greater intake of cola drinks with things like a bigger chance of contracting bowel cancer.
