Hi, at any given time I hold onto about 1.5kg of water weight. I know its water weight, as every few weeks I take a prescription diuretic to get rid of it (I know its time when my rings wont come off and my shoes are tight). I hate taking diuretics, and was wondering if there was another way to rid myself of the excess water?
I already drink at least 2 litres of water per day, plus drink dandelion leaf tea daily.

Thanks in advance!
Mia

    Drink lots of water. Take your weight in pounds and divide by 2. The result in the number of ounces of water you should drink (or a bit more) every day. You will find you are off to the bathroom a lot, but that will help. Also, watch how much sodium you consume. I would suggest no more than 1800mg a day. You can track that here as well.

    Green tea is a natural diuretic and some studies show also helps slightly raise your metabolism.
