Periodically do you have that bloaty, yucky, fat feeling? And then you go to bed and miraculously it is gone the next day! Welcome to the world of carrying water weight. Oh and it changes as much as the weather does depending on what you eat and well, the weather. So here are some tips about how to lose water weight:
There are a few simple methods you can use to help slay the water dragon. You are going to think this is backwards, but, drink water. Yes, this sounds weird, however, you body is retaining water because it needs water. When you keep your body hydrated you flush out the toxins that build in your body and eliminate them when you urinate.
Another tip is to drink pineapple juice. Pineapple juice is a natural diuretic and will help remove excess water from your body. If you can not tolerate full strength pineapple juice, water it down a bit. Typically if you pour three-fourths juice and one-fourth water you will still retain the taste and reap the benefit of pineapple juice.
If you prefer to take a pill, then you may want to consider Alfalfa. Alfalfa is also a natural diuretic, that has no calories and only one gram of carbohydrates. However, as with any medication you may want to check with your doctor first before you take alfalfa.
A surefire way to reduce the water weight cycle is to take a multivitamin that is high in B vitamins. A supplement will not only help you to remove excess water from your system, but serve as nutritional supplements your body is lacking. And remember, the vitamins your body does not need will get flushed out when you drink plenty of water.
Finally, what you eat may be a cause of your water retention. You are the only one that knows your body and can judge what foods affect you to gain the weight, however, one of the most obvious foods that keep water in your body is salt. An excess of salt will make you retain water.
