SOOOO....I'll admit i was REALLY bad this weekend. It was the first weekend my fiance and I have had completely off togther in a while and we went ALL out! I know my sodium intake this weekend was out of control and now im suffering. Im retaining water like crazy, im super swollen and although im drinking water like a fish im not going to the bathroom like i should

does anyone have any advice? im dying to get rid of all this water but i dont want to drink those "water pills"....any natural advice?

I've heard lemon in your water can help. Also eating celery might help as well. I would try to eat as clean as possible and avoid sodium (of course!), sugar, and processed foods for the next few days. If it doesn't get better soon, you might check with your doctor to see why your body won't release the extra fluid. I bet it will be gone in the next few days!

Increasing your potassium can help with water retention as well. That and LOTS of water.

Lots of water.

POTASSIUM mineral supplementation will help you eliminate the excess Sodium. Basic organic chemistry. No big deal! It's probably the sugars and carb.s in your diet, along with too much fiber that is causing any bloating.

Drink tea. Preferably green tea but any tea will act as a diuretic. I'd be really careful with potassium as too much will cause heart issues. As with any other supplement too much is bad.
