The overwhelming body of evidence suggests that sugar-free sweeteners absolutely don't cause fat gain, and that increasing water consumption has no affect on fat loss. Your body has a well regulated mechanism of telling you when you need water; it's called thirst. Your advice on cutting back on fructose and eating more fibre fat and protein, without mentioning that you have to also be in a caloric deficit is a huge oversight. If my maintenance caloric intake is 2k cals per day and I change the macronutrient ratio I'm consuming but not the overall calories, I likely won't experience any weight loss except a small amount from thermic effect of feeding related to protein consumption. You absolutely need to be in a caloric deficit to lose weight, and fructose is satan in disguise that's going to mess up your weight loss goals.

I wasn't implying drinking more water to help weight loss, just to avoid drinking things that have fructose. The thing is, less fructose, more fat, fiber and protein will put someone in a caloric deficit without them trying. You crave sugar, but once you get over that you aren't hungry. Remember that it isn't calories in calories out, it is calories absorbed calories out. A caloric deficit happens naturally which is why it is so effective.

  Everything you just said is absurd. > The thing is, less fructose, more fat, fiber and protein will put someone in a caloric deficit without them trying. Silly to assume this would be true for all individuals and a broad statement. > Remember that it isn't calories in calories out, it is calories absorbed calories out. All digestible material will be 'absorbed'. If your body couldn't digest food fully you would literally shit out chunks of undigested material, unless you have some kind of condition that doesn't happen. > A caloric deficit happens naturally which is why it is so effective. I'm not even sure that this means. If caloric deficits happened naturally we would all slowly starve to death.
