This site is about Linda Lazarides’ diet that can help you lose up to 14 pounds in a week by shedding hidden water retention.

If you have great difficulty in reaching a normal weight, and if your doctor cannot find any medical explanation, the chances are that your fluid balance mechanisms have gone wrong and you have a weight management problem due to not excreting enough water. Your body usually consists of 50-60 per cent water, but if you have water retention,  your body weight may be 65 per cent water or even more. Water weight is heavier than fat, so the good news is that if you can lose it you may be able to shed several pounds quite quickly.

Water retention can be very hard for a doctor to diagnose. Almost all your body’s tissues have plenty of capacity to hold a little more water without looking abnormal. For example, excess fluid could be making your tummy look rather large. When you pinch it, you can feel its normal covering of fat. You may easily believe that your tummy’s size is due to this fat. But if  you lose the water retention in your tummy it may subside and flatten, so that you can see you have no more fat there than on the rest of your body. Of course, a tummy with slack, poorly toned muscles due to lack of exercise can also look big. Good muscle tone is very important for maintaining a good figure.

A genuine breakthrough

Until recently, there was no medical treatment for water retention, except diuretics, which have only a temporary effect on water weight and can worsen some types of water retention. Linda Lazarides’ Waterfall Diet is a new treatment to help you lose water weight. It tackles seven different causes of water retention and makes your kidneys (if they are healthy) permanently release the excess water weight.

Some people believe that you cannot get rid of water retention permanently – that it comes back as soon as you go off your diet. For instance some who have followed a low-carb diet for a long time lose water weight quite quickly. Sadly, they find all this water weight returns as soon as they reach their target weight and start to eat a few carbs again.

The Waterfall Diet is different. It is a plan of action in three stages. Phase I aims to get rid of water retention and water weight as quickly as possible. Phase II consists of a test which you carry out yourself to find your safe foods. These are foods which do not make you gain water weight. Phase III is a long-term eating plan which is as close to normal as possible. It emphasises the foods which help to keep water retention away, and avoids any foods which in your particular case seem to aggravate it. In short, the Waterfall Diet puts you back in control of your weight.

How much water weight can I expect to lose?

About one third of people lose 10 lbs of water weight in a week on this diet. Very occasionally people have lost 20 lbs in two weeks.  If you are careful this water weight will not come back again. Even if you only lose 2 lbs, you will find that other diets work better once you have lost this water weight, as excess water cools down the metabolism and slows down fat burning.

The instructions for the Waterfall Diet can be found in the book with the same name. Or if you’re in a hurry to get started, they are also in Linda Lazarides’ E-guide: Low-Carb Dieting and the Waterfall Diet.

Linda Lazarides is a popular and well-respected British health practitioner who has helped many people. A private consultation with her costs $80, but the E-guide will give you very similar advice and costs only $12.
