    While I don't know for sure, I've been told to drink more water and take in less salt. While I should always watch my salt intake, I pay more attention to it when it's that time of the month. That along with drowning myself with water has helped me a lot.

    I second what Mel said - more water, less salt. Caffeine can act as a diuretic, but just heard on NPR today about some research that's showing it only works that way if you're not normally a caffeine drinker. If you normally suck down coffee or caffeinated soda, your body's already adjusted.

    I third the more water, less sodium. Also working out and moving helps, so keep going! Talk to your doctor as well, they may prescribe a diuretic. I have water in my legs, and they put me on one.
