I spazzed-out on sodium- how to deflate?

Ok, yesterday I overdid the sodium- had some spicy trail mix and rode-off into the sunset w/it. Now of course you can rename me Bloata. Question is- how long does it take you to deflate from a sodium-fest?

I am drinking lots of water, worked out 90 minutes to sweat as much a possible. So I know I have to sit and wait. Didn't even think about stepping on the scale- but my pants are sooooo tight! Man, I hate when I make mid-week bad choices.

  • Eat bananas, they help with fluid retention. So does parsley. Good luck! =-)

    For me it seems to take 2-3 days to wear off when I do go over, granted I typically reach my allotment. I don't really know if there is a correct answer for this though.
