Do You Have To Go On A Water Diet To Get Rid Of Water Retention?
Some people confuse the Waterfall Diet with a ‘water diet’. However they are not the same thing at all. A water diet means that you eat nothing and drink only water.
On the other hand the Waterfall Diet allows you to consume a wide variety of foods and drinks.
A water diet might temporarily get rid of water retention in some people but it would not have a lasting effect. That’s because when you start to eat again you don’t know which foods you should continue avoiding in order to prevent the water retention from returning.
The Waterfall Diet actually helps you to identify those foods, which is why it works so well.
Drinking more water
It is true that if you become dehydrated because you don’t drink enough water, your body could learn to hold on to water. This can lead to developing water retention. When you are dehydrated you produce less of the hormone that your kidneys need in order to excrete water. Dehydration is one of the causes of water retention.

Eating a lot of salt can certainly cause or aggravate water retention. Frequent urination can be a sign of a number of different things.

I had an inflamed bowel about a year ago. I also had diarrhea and the doctor took me off all wheat, sugars etc. But the last 2 months the water retention has come back. I am sentive to all dairy and have cut it all out. Insted I eat goat cheese, soya milk (does not taste very good). My doctor this month says I have PMS and that I should take a B6 and Primrose. I have been taking them ever since and it does not seem to be working. I am on the depo-depovara and will be going off in Sept because I am 48 years old. I take vitiam c 1000 mg and b12 for stress. What should I do? Hope you can answer.

It sounds like you have a knowledgeable doctor. You might find the Waterfall Diet helpful. If you would like me to assess your health and design a health program for your PMS and other problems please contact me via the link in the right-hand panel.

I frequently feel the need to go to the toilet (sometimes just minutes after I’ve just been). I also eat a lot of salt. Could fluid retention be a cause of this?
