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)

You can certainly lose weight by switching to water as opposed to soft drinks. It's not because of some weird biochemical reaction which makes your body release retained water; it's because you're cutting out what is, for many people, a significant source of calories. Coca-cola has lots of calories; water has none. It's really that simple. But in order for it to be truly effective over the long term, you'll have to do two things: one, make sure you don't take in more calories elsewhere; and two, keep it up for longer than a week. One week isn't enough time to effect any more than a very, very temporary change in your weight.
