If you are already exercising regularly and watching your diet...you probably don't have 10 lbs. of water weight hanging around.

If you are retaining water because of your menstrual cycle or some other reason, there are certainly some dietary things you can do to diminish the effects:

moderate amounts of caffeine coupled with drinking lots of water
avoid carbonation
asparagus
all types of melon
artichokes
parsley
dandelion root

Hi A.,

If it is water weight you need to lose, cut out salt and sodium and drink a lot of water.

It works.

You should probably look into why you have the extra water weight.

For something pretty mild, I would a diuretic like camomile (sp?) tea.

Good luck.

What always works for me when I need to drop weight fast is to just drop sugar at least until the time of my event or whatever. Sugar raises your glycogen levels alot and can make you go up several "pounds" even in one day. Now this is all based on if you have a sweet tooth, which I do! Of course if you are salty person, then drop the chips, pretzels, etc. until the event. If you do both, you might be amazed. I was up 5 lbs on Monday bc I just had a big weekend of going out with friends etc. I dropped sugar and was down 5lbs of basically what we call water weight by Thursday. It is normal for weight to fluctuate daily, so try it for a few days and then check you weight, you should see some results. Good luck!
