How do diuretics help weight loss?

Answer 1

The purpose of diuretics is to flush, or remove, water from one's system. One reason diuretics are given to people with hypertension is to help reduce or remove edema related to the retention of fluids.

Answer 2

They promote the production of urine, and after urination, the person's body weight is lower on account of a lower volume of water inside their body. More simply put; they make you pee the weight off, which is a temporary condition that ends the next time you drink some water.

Answer 3

Water does not help to lose weight. Consuming enough water is essential to good health.

Weight loss requires lowering your caloric intake.

Answer 4

Diruetics remove excess water from the body which in turn helps the heart beat easier which lowers blood pressure.

Answer 5

Some people retain water, this is known as 'water weight.' Diuretics increase urination, and thus help people expel this excess water weight.
