What is the deal with water? and how much to intake?

[hunneybee1984]

So this may be a pretty basic question, but Im just wondering the real answer. Why do you have to drink so much water and how does drinking so much water help you lose weight? I understand it keeps things working well and flushing out your system, but how does it help you keep weight off. And if you don't get your intake of water a day how does that keep weight on you?

Thanks
