what is water weight?

What does it mean when you lose or gain “water weight”. Is it as simple as you’ve drank a lot of water, then pee it out? Does that count as weight?

Typically when people refer to losing water weight, it has a lot to do with being sick, and either your illness, or a medication that you’re taking for your illness, or both is making you more dehydrated than usual. There’s a lot of water in your body and that water weighs a substantial amount. If you end up getting dehydrated from an illness or a medication (usually a steroid) then you’ll lose weight, known as water weight.
