How To Lose Water Weight

Want to lose up to ten pounds in one week? The key to learning how to lose water weight is knowing what to eat. The body holds onto water to dilute toxins so the only way to lose water weight is to stop eating the foods that are poisons to the body.

Some people are holding up to 15 pounds of weight just in water! This leaves you looking puffy, bloated and swollen. Remember...the solution to pollution is dilution and this is why water and weight loss are so closely connected.

Here are the ways for how to lose water weight quickly.

No more salt, not even a grain

Banning salt from your diet is the number one way to easily shed water weight. Salt is not healthy and is much different from organic sodium found naturally in foods. The body always treats it as a toxin, no matter what form it is in (sea salt, kosher salt, etc.). Ever notice how thirsty you are after a salt laden meal like Chinese take out?

Losing water weight suddenly becomes effortless when you learn this, but it will take some exertion on your part to keep it out of your mouth.

Salt is in virtually everything that has been prepackaged, pre-made, or served in a restaurant, and this is why we unknowingly consume so much of it. The kidneys can only filter out up to a couple hundred milligrams a day so what happens to the rest?

Between breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks people can easily take in thousands of milligrams of sodium from salt. What the body can't get rid of right away it will store in the body, mostly in the tissues where water can dilute it so that the organs are not harmed. This is why people who eat a lot of salt have swollen eyes with bags under them, swollen bellies and ankles and a host of other symptoms.

Get the sodium your body needs from organic sources such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and mangoes. Salt is inorganic and toxic to the body. Leave it in the ocean.

Eat less cooked and more raw

Raw food comes in the package nature intended. It is full of water and nutrients and nothing has been fooled around with. But take cooked food that has been heated and stripped of its water content, and the body runs into a problem.

The body must have water to digest food, utilize nutrients, virtually every process carried out by the body. This is why raw food is packed with water. Mother nature already knows this but we have forgotten.

So when cooked food enters you and there is no water, the body must supply it. So it in turn robs itself of water from other places but there is a price to be paid.

Now you become dehydrated and thirsty and the next time you drink any fluids the body is going to remember what it went through and try to protect itself in the future by holding onto any water you give it so that it is not strapped in a future emergency.

The same goes for other toxic "foods" like vinegar, garlic and onions, and alcohol.

Never underestimate the brilliance of your body. The name of the game is self preservation.

Drink more water!

If you are looking for ways to learn how to lose water weight then don't forget to simply drink more water so that the body knows it doesn't have to hold onto it. When the body finally sees that water is plentiful and there won't be a drought, it will flush the stored water out and use what it needs.

How much water is enough? Your urine should always be clear. If it is yellow, then you are already dehydrated. Strive to pee up to 9 to 10 times a day. It may seem like you are always hitting the toilet but it is a small price to pay for optimum health and the chance for the body to heal.

And remember, after a long night of sleeping, always drink 2-3 big glasses of water upon rising.

If you've always wondered how to lose water weight, then start eating the foods that let all that bloat go. Your face will look slimmer, your belly flatter, and you'll be lighter and happier.
