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

A genuine breakthrough

To be able to sit on the lavatory and urinate away up to 20 pounds of excess body weight in a few days probably sounds like something out of your wildest dreams. Yet many people have done it and are delighted with the results. Right now, scientists all over the world are looking at the causes of water retention and helping us to understand how it can affect our body weight.

Hidden water retention is not everyone's problem, but this book will help you discover if it is yours, and will put you on the right road to shedding it. The foods you need to eat depend on what is causing your water retention. There are at least seven separate causes, so the book has some questionnaires for you to answer before you can get started.

This ground-breaking book has been published in eight countries and six languages so far, including UK, US, Japan, Australia, France, Italy, Holland and Eastern Europe. You can order it online or from any bookstore.

If you have been diagnosed with water retention as a result of a heart or kidney problem, you should consult your doctor before changing your current diet.
