all that does is dehydrate you....you just losing water weight....This is not good for you at all, and is typically used by boxers, wrestlers, ect.... who are trying to make a certain weight in a very short period of time. Your not gonna lose a substantial amount of weight and keep it off by doing this.

This is a practice used for weight class sporting events and is an extremely temporary water loss tactic. There is no fat lost doing this and is all water weight. Therefore it is regained when you rehydrate your body. In sports like wrestling and boxing, 1 pound could make the difference on what class you are fighting, and is the only time this stuff should be practiced.....if at all.

it's just water weigh.. you won't burn any calories (and in essence, fat) doing it. As soon as you take a sip of water you will gain it back. I've done it to make weight limits in football lol.

Technically, you might lose a tiny amount of protein - saliva has digestive enzymes in it, e.g. amylase is present to start breaking down starch.
