I just spent 31 days drinking nothing but water.
NOTE: I did eat food. Just, the only liquid I drank for a month was water. Not even sparkling water, just plain water.
Over the years we've been a part of some weight loss threads and non-drinking threads on here. I'm not necessarily overweight but I'm at that age where I can't just let her rip in terms of eating and drinking if I want to be around for a long time. I had gained 20 Lbs from 2015-2017 while I had lived in Kansas City (went from 227 to 248 - I'm 6'2") so I thought I should get back to my "California weight." I recently had knee surgery and the Physical Therapist was recommending a non-inflammatory diet. I looked it up and HELL NO. It's basically giving up anything you would ever want to eat. So as a compromise, I figured I'd try just drinking water as the only liquid I drank for a month. It took about ten days to feel the results, but after 30 days: I lost 8 Lbs. Blood Pressure went from 139/87 to 120/80 Belt is one notch tighter I go to bed sleepy at 10pm and wake up at 5:30 with no alarm. I'm alert and focused during the day Skin feels younger. Face thinner. Pretty damn good! There were only a couple of times I was really jonesing for coffee or alcohol. It's actually a good thing I wasn't drinking during the Steelers or Oakland games, I might have to be replacing some pieces of broken furniture in my house by now. I'd recommend it, if you've got the discipline. I am kind of that "all or nothing" type so once committed it was pretty easy. Have any of you done similar? EDIT: To be clear, it wasn't a daily contest to see HOW MUCH water I could rink. I just replaced any liquid I would normally drink (e.g. coffee in the morning, a six pack of beer watching football) with water. And was conscious to have some throughout the day at a regular pace.

You've inspired me. I'm going to do this for the next thirty days, because I really need to lose 10 pounds. I keep pondering this type of thing but haven't done it.
Just to confirm, no Pibb or Dr. Pepper, right?

Good point. So if I drink nothing but water and Dr. Pepper, that has to be pretty good for me, right?
Wait, that's what I'm doing now.

I went full vegan for 6 months. Lost 16 lbs without doing anything different from an excercise standpoint. I think much of the weight loss was muscle though. I went back to my normal diet, which is very healthy, and gained the weight back in probably another 6-8 months.
