Losing water weight shouldn't be a major part of your weight loss regime, and will only get you temporary results, in addition to being only temporary weight loss you can experience serious health issues.

The first would be dehydration, which, if it becomes severe can have long lasting effects.

Your goals should be toward losing pounds from fat loss, this type of weight loss will be more permanent and will make you healthier along the way.

A mildly dehydrated person will have lost 5 to 6 percent of their body weight, moderately dehydrated will jump to 7 to 10 percent, a severely dehydrated person will have lost more than 10 percent of their body weight and is in serious danger of health complications.
