Reduce weight fluctuations 
Water Weight Loss (Con't)

1. Reduce salt intake  
Reduce salt intake - your body retains water when salt intake is high, and this causes bloating and water weight gain. It's also important to have a good balance of other minerals: calcium, magnesium, and potassium to maintain good fluid balance in the body. Personal Dietitian provides diet plans that emphasize lower sodium foods and foods with good, natural sources of calcium, magnesium and potassium. Eating well helps with water retention, not just weight loss!

2. Eat smaller meals and snacks. 
The Personal diet plan is carefully planned so that you get a good balance of energy throughout the day and don't overload your body with large meals at the end of the day. This helps you burn your calories more efficiently and reduces bloating that can come from overeating late at night.

3. Include a good balance of carbohydrates. 
Personal Dietitian's diet plans emphasize carbohydrates that are a good source of vitamins, minerals and fiber and avoids those that are high in sodium. Salty carbohydrates love water - avoid them! Choosing more unprocessed carbohydrates like beans, fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables of all types helps reduce sodium and increases potassium in the diet and this helps with weight loss and water retention. 

4. Diuretics are substances that cause water loss. 
We don't recommend or incorporate diuretics in our weight loss program. Some people may need additional help from these but should only be taken if advised by your personal physician.                

Finally, you need to team up a healthy, well balanced high nutrition plan with consistent exercise and plenty of water. This helps regulate water balance in the body, and helps the body get rid of the "waste" - drinking water helps to minimize water retention and exercise helps get rid of the waste. These are safe, healthy practices that everyone can do that can get you through the challenges of weight fluctuation, and they work!
