Tips for losing water weight

People can carry a lot of weight from just water, and it can make you feel lethargic, puffy, heavy and bloated.. I often seem to carry the most water round my middle, which is annoying but can be lost with a little effort! Follow these basic tips to see how different you feel. You will be surprised to find how much you were actually carrying, and amazed by the results!


* Drink more water. Funnily enough you actually need to drink more water to prevent your body retaining too much fluid. Aim for 2litres or more per day.
* Cut back on simple carbs. Sugary foods and refined starches hold more fluid in your body.
* Reduce sodium and salt intake. Like simple carbs, they attract more fluid.
* Avoid artificial sweeteners, as they have the same effect on your body as normal sugar. Just because it's calorie-free doesn't mean it has no effect at all!
* Exercise more! Sweat out the excess!
* Try a water retention supplement to relieve excess retention. I wouldn't recommend using these too often as I would imagine they aren't too good for your system since they do all the work for you, but try one as a last resort if the above fails even after sustained effort.

I lost a lot of water weight in only 2 days (nearly half a stones worth!) and my stomach shrank from being flat-ish to being miniscule! Absolutely loved the results, and now that I know my own potential I'm more motivated to stop my body retaining so much fluid. Try it!
