Drinking too much water can make your body look bloated/ fat?

[Mysticcc]

I have been drinking like 4 liters of water per day and my stomach is getting to look kinda bloated all the time, it gives the appearance that i have high bodyfat, can it be an excess of WATER? How much should i drink per day?

Salt + water + carbs = bloat

Water is important to not look gaunt and tired, but reducing carbs and especially salt will remove bloat.

And sugar

Carbs are multiple sugars together (polysaccharides).

yes bro but most here don't know that. Also drinking water is really good just not too much water, and eating potassium (banana, avocado, pistachio) also helps with facial bloat. It negates the effect of salt bloat

Yes, that's true. Water itself is essential to reduce facial bloat.

yeah but as soon as u stop u will lose all bloat due to being sodium depleted

Indirectly through electrolyte imbalance. Avoiding salt is a bad idea.
