My mother followed your water-retention diet a few years ago and it really did wonders for her.

Hi Linda. I’ve been been on this diet before and lost a couple of pounds from it. That was several years ago. Unfortunately, the scale crept back up again because I started eating cake and all kinds of naughty carbs. I also had back surgery last months and I’ve noticed my hips and thighs feel tight and stretchy and my back feels a little jiggly. My upper eyelids are puffy and I can’t get my rings on. So, I know a few pounds of it is water retention. I have your book so I have started the diet again. Will keep you posted as I begin “peeing”. I’m so miserable like this. My jeans leave “dents” in my upper thighs and they are so uncomfortable. I am looking forward to healing my body again with your good sense nutrition.

Tried everything everything else to get rid of water retention, even working out to sweat it out, salt free diet, drinking lots of water. Hoping this diet works…

Healthy eating is the first step in the right direction. You also need to find out if any foods you eat are causing your water retention. That is what the Waterfall Diet book can help you with, among other things.

I just want to know of a way to avoid water retention as I am a very healthy eatier, in fact a vegetarian and eat well all of the time other than the odd sweet treat.

I have written extensively about the addictive effects of water pills like this. They may be helpful as a prescription medicine for high blood pressure but will make you retain water and swell up quickly as soon as you stop taking them. In the long term they will always make water retention much worse. It is not advisable at all to go on taking diuretics. They could also make it more difficult for the waterfall diet to give you good results. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Hi, I was on 25 mg of hydrochlorot for slightly elevated BP. I lost 23lbs by doing low carb so my dr said I could try going off the meds. When I did, I gained 7 pounds back in a week. So, I started them up again but really don’t want to be on them at all. Will I need to be off the meds in order to try this diet? Thanks much.

Thanks for your book. It gave me a lot of info and is helping me help my daughter after 3 years of water retention. We were able to figure it out after 2 weeks on the waterfall diet. It gave us the info we needed. I am just thankful we figured it out so quickly. I learned so much from the book. She would loose and gain so rapidly!
