The no water thing seems to be a holdover from old country Soviet ideas of nutrition. You heard a lot about it in gymnastics back in the day with people wondering why Russian and Romanian coaches (and those in the US who fled those regimes) were so anti-water.
The no water thing comes from not understanding the difference between water weight loss/gain and fat weight loss/gain. It's easy to lose water weight. It's much harder to lose fat weight.
