Lose Up To 7 Pounds
in 24- Hours
Water Weight is the culprit behind
extra pounds that
pile on in a few days ~
Sudden weight gain is usually due to
an accumulation of fluids, not fat.
A build-up of water can leave you feeling
bloated, uncomfortable~ and as
much as 7-10 pounds heavier.
Two cups of water weighs about a pound.
So if you gain an average of 7 pounds
a month before your period, that's
the equivalent of carrying around 14
cups of water.
At the end of a woman's cycle, levels
of progesterone increase significantly.
It's the progesterone itself that causes
salt retention, which in turn causes water retention.
And water retention isn't limited to
just before your period. It can happen anytime if
you're eating foods loaded with salt.
Sodium is like a magnet in your body; it attracts
and holds on to water. It signals your
body to store water, which is why you get bloated.
be aware it is just not obvious foods,
such as chips and pretzels, but hidden sodium
in processed and fast foods, such as
hot dogs, cold cuts, canned soups etc.
Dietitians recommend you keep
your intake under 2,400 milligrams a day.
To foil pre-period bloat, try limiting
yourself to 1,200-1,500 milligrams a day.
And drink eight 8-ounces of water a
day. Whenever you do not drink enough water,
our body perceives that as a threat
to survival and reacts by
holding onto whatever fluid it's got.
