Salt-induced water retention

  • I spent a week going crazy with salt, not sure why, but I think it's what made me put on a pound by weigh-in day. I don't know a lot about how sodium affects water and weight, but I was told that it does. How can I reverse this, just cut back on the salt?? I want to lose that damn pound again! I was doing so well with my exercise that week, so I was really disppointed by the gain!
  • Drink a lot of water and that should help. It may take a few days, though.
  • WATER!! Make sure that you are drinking alot of water and yea, cut back on the salt. Cheer up! It's a pound that'll be gone in a couple of days and you're doing GREAT!
