How can I get rid of water weight?

I was told that if you have loose skin instead of a tighter skin on the abdominal area, it is water weight

    Loose skin is stretched skin ..it can take up to 2 years for it to recover..it's a genetic lottery how far it pings back though ...

    Water weight is on a cellular level ..it can also make you feel bloated like around TOM ..or with DOMS

    I have never heard that about loose skin before, and i don't really think its true, however, if you want to lose water weight, be really careful with your sodium intake and drink lots of water. Green tea also helps.
    If I feel bloated or like i have gained water weight for whatever reason, I try to drink a gallon of water per day, don't go over 1500 mg sodium per day, and drink a cup of green tea with each meal.
