Drinking water is important because it keeps you hydrated. It is recommended you drink 6 -8 glasses of water a day. This will help you to feel full.

There are many reasons why it is important to drink water, especially if you are dieting:

* Initial weight loss is largely due to loss of water, and you need to drink an adequate amount of water in order to avoid dehydration.
* The process of burning calories requires an adequate supply of water in order to function efficiently; dehydration slows down the fat-burning process.
* Burning calories creates toxins (think of the exhaust coming out of your car), and water plays a vital role in flushing them out of your body.
* Dehydration causes a reduction in blood volume; a reduction in blood volume causes a reduction in the supply of oxygen to your muscles; and a reduction in the supply of oxygen to your muscles can make you feel tired.
* Water helps maintain muscle tone by assisting muscles in their ability to contract, and it lubricates your joints. Proper hydration can help reduce muscle and joint soreness when exercising.
* A healthy (weight loss) diet includes a good amount of fiber. But while fiber is normally helpful to your digestive system, without adequate fluids it can cause constipation instead of helping to eliminate it.
* Drinking water with a meal may make you feel full sooner and therefore satisfied eating less. Note, however, that drinking water alone may not have this effect. In order to feel satiated (not hungry), our bodies need bulk, calories and nutrients.

If you go for water only as your 'liquid' of choice, it helps a lot because you eliminate all the simple carbs you take in from sodas and other beverages.

In addition to Ndott's answer. If you drink water instead of soda, the change will cause you to lose weight by itself. Diet soda isn't much better than regular. The sweetener Aspartame is currently the object of some serious controversy due to health risks associated with it. Go natural and you shouldn't have any problems.
