    Water Retention

    What cause water retention and what can I do to eliminate it. My legs seem to be most effected. My diet is not very high in sodium and I drink about 4/20oz bottles of water a day, 1 diet soda, 3 cups of coffee, 2/20oz crystal lights.

    Thanks

    are you on birth control? that has major effect on water balance. I found alot of information out on how to get rid of water !!

    increase vit C to 3000 mgs a day
    added l-taurine
    eat protein and fats for a few days
    do a water flood double water intake for 3 days then cut in half
    may be add 1500 mgs EPO 3 times a day or just increase your fat from good fat sources.
    esterogen is also a factor as well


    J'bo can also jump in here as well

    Sodium!

    Eggs, Tuna, Spices etc. These are all high in sodium and it will make you retain alot of water.

    Try decreasing your sodium and increasing your water intake to flush out. You'll drop it.

    Also BC and high carbs can't make you retain water but most likely its the sodium.

    Depo did not make me retain water at all but I'm sure it may for some. Try decreasing your sodium and upping your water.

    I never said it wasn't a possibility, I'm just saying I didn't and I don't from Depo. BC pills make me blow up like a balloon, but not the depo.

    I would think if the Depo was the problem it would of happened in July when I got the shot. I had tuna twice this week and eggs 4 times that might be it I will try what you said.
