I made a pretty idiotic choice last night by going through a Mcdonalds drive through and consuming 2 double cheeseburgers. uncharacteristic of me, but i totally messed up my food intake.

anyway, i know having too much soduim in your system hold on to water, which can hinder your weight loss. what is the best way to regulate your body again? increase my water intake? exercise more?

    Chug chug chug chug!!! (I ate pizza hut last night, I swear I feel straight up swollen from all the salt.) I just drink a ton of water and I'm back to normal the next day.

    drink lots and lots of water. Avoid anything with too much sodium today. I bet you enjoyed your treat though!

    When I know I've had too much sodium (when my ring gets tight), I drink more water than usual, and if it's around, chomp on watermelon.

    Thanks, and honestly, the McDees did not sit well at all. i also had it at 3 am after a night of drinking. i managed to plan ahead for my drinks, just never anticipated pigging out on garbage at 3 am.

    I agree with what everyone has said but would caveat by saying to increase your water intake but not all at once. You can flush out electrolytes and overhydrate yourself
