Water in Weight Loss

Water is easy to overlook in a weight loss conversation, but it's involved in nearly every chemical reaction your body runs, including the ones that break down fat. In this episode, Rick and Greg explain the actual chemistry: why fat breakdown requires water, why most of the fat you lose leaves through your lungs as carbon dioxide, and why dehydration is one of the most common (and most overlooked) causes of hunger, headaches, and abdominal pain.
They also cover how to tell if you're dehydrated, why daily scale fluctuations are usually water weight and not fat, and three practical habits that make hydration easier: swapping sugary drinks for water, drinking 17 ounces before meals, and staying ahead of fluids if you're on a GLP-1 medication. They close with daily water targets, roughly 125 ounces for men and 91 ounces for women, adjusted for heat, altitude, illness, and activity level.
