diuretics?
I've been really bloated for about 4 weeks and the scale seems to be up 4lb. I have a holiday in 3 weeks and don't want to be bloated for this! Will diuretics actually help get rid of the damn water weight or is it just a quick fix that will come back to bite me? And if so what brands are there? Cheers guys

'The Pill' - is it water weight, increased hunger or what?

I know its not because ive eaten more because im using MFP to record my calories.…
