How to Lose Water Weight Quickly

Looking to drop weight quickly? If so, consider ways to reduce fluid retention and lose pounds of water weight in days.

Instructions

1

Assess your sodium intake. Too much sodium in your diet can bring on water weight or fluid retention. Pay attention to the amount of sodium consumed, and keep your sodium intake below 2,400 mg a day.

2

Don't skimp on water. Consuming eight glasses of water a day is one of the best ways to get rid of water weight.

3

Expel water with caffeine. Moderate caffeine consumption can help your body get rid of accumulated water.

4

Experiment with a low-carb diet. Water retention and eating carbs go hand-in-hand. Eat fewer carbs to reduce water weight--less than 20 to 30 grams a day.

5

Grab a banana. Potassium regulates the fluid level in your body; and a low-potassium diet can cause the accumulation of fluid.

6

Sweat off excess fluids. Get moving and exercise to help your body lose water.
