* Drink only cold water (50 degrees Fahrenheit or colder).

* It is beneficial to drink certain amount of water throughout the day and it is not recommended to drink it at one time.

* Choose only pure water with no flavor, artificial sweeteners and non-carbonated.

Water diet is based on the theory that humana body uses energy to heat up water to body temperature.

Nearly 12 calories will be burnt when the body raises one pint of 50 degree Fahrenheit water to the normal body temperature of 98.6 degrees. So if you consume three pints of water per day and every ay for the whole year you will be able to burn 4500 calories which is equaling anywhere between one and a half pounds to more than three pounds of weight loss by the end of the year. Also this theory says that if you carry any extra water weigh around you can burn more calories than if that extra pound or so of water was not present. This also called the "carry factor" and gives you the opportunity to burn 12 to 18 calories a day per one pound of body weight.

After a one year of following this diet you will be able to lose nearly five without any other dietary changes.
