So the last few days of going to the gym that I cant seem to get rid of the water weight, I pretty much sweat it and at the end of the day when I drink water, I gain it back up. I was wonder if there anything that can help, teas, workouts, sauna etc etc. Thanks for any advice

Simple, stop drinking water.0

When you have water in your belly, you're going to weigh more. I suggest not weighing until morning before eating and drinking. But to really answer your question, add lemon to your water because it is a natural diuretic. Green tea is good too.0

Increase your water & potassium, & decrease your sodium. I've decreased mine to 1500 mg/day.0

A good weight lifting workout that breaks down muscle will increase your water weight. That's part of the muscle recovery process. Really bulked up guys with a heavy workout can add a few pounds from that alone the next day, but then it goes back. Your body is 60% water and it makes up a big part of your LBM. So, if the pattern is an increase in water weight that happens the day after you hit the gym, that's likely what you're experiencing.
If I do an exhausting workout, I expect to see up to a pound gain the next morning and then it drops off the next day or so. Not much different than the next day temporary weight gain after eating too much Chinese take out. Day to day weight naturally fluctuates, but it all evens out over the week.0 -
I usually weigh myself right after I workout and right before I drink my protein shake.
Also, watch your sodium intake. It could lead to water retainment.0 -
Sodium, caffeine, inflammation, NSAIDS, low B vitamins and an abundance of fat (which produces estrogen) can cause fluid retention.
Battle it with exercise, drinking water and avoiding OTC pain killers, processed foods.
My ankles used to dent because of it. Now I'm better.0 -
I don't think you are 'retaining' water.. you just said what the problem is... you are drinking a huge amount of water then weighing yourself. DOH! of course you are going to weigh heavier.....
Whatcha weighing yourself so much for anyway? Do it in the morning and don't torture yourself with the scales again that day!0 -
I am confused... Why are you concerned about water weight?0
