I'm drinking 4L of water daily, is it normal? Can this amount of water make me gain weight by storing water in my body? Because I hear dieticians say I didn't lose weight but I lost body water.

The kidneys of a healthy adult can process up to fifteen liters of water a day. As long as you drink water over time and not too much water at one time, you are unlikely to suffer from water intoxication. It is recommended to drink 8-12 glasses a day, more if the weather is warm or very dry, if you are exercising, or if you are taking certain medications. This is important to restore the needed fluids to the body. Excess usually goes to the urine, sweat and other insensible water losses. The important thing is to drink the 4 liters over the course of the day.
Water can't cause weight gain because excess water goes through the kidneys and is not stored in the body. Fats make you gain weight and the excess fat is stored in the body.
