Okay, here's what I found (didn't take long either =D)
Water when dieting
~~~~~~*****~~~~~~
There are at least four reasons why water is important when dieting.
Initial weight loss is largely the result of loss of water
This lost water needs replacing, to avoid dehydration.
The rate at which we burn calories (our metabolism) is a chemical process requiring water
We need adequate water to ensure the smooth functioning of this process.
Water helps to flush toxins out our system
The more toxins in our body the less capable it is of losing weight
Water helps to prevent constipation
Healthy dieting means eating lots of fiber. However, unless we drink enough water, a raised fiber-intake can cause constipation.

It flushes out toxins that your body concentrates on getting rid of, therefore allowing you body to concentrate on weight loss. At least that's what my Mom told me. Thanx for posting the question, I'll think I'll do some more research on it. Anyways, however it works it works. lol -Veronica
