Water holding around mid section.

[dylangemelli]

diuretics are good before a comp or photo's etc. but for daily use i wouldn't use a diuretic, they will de-hydrate the shit out of you. not what you want during the summer

if the OP was desperate before his comp and needed something instant i would recommend a diuretic.

this is very true... i made this mistake at a young age running a diuretic through the summer and it may have helped with the water but had some really bad effects otherwise that were not worth it... its more of a quick fix but definitely not recommended long term...

tea is a much more healthy option to use daily.

I told him to use it as part of a systematic approach to determining if it was water retention or something else.

We can throw out all the speculation and hearsay we want, but honestly, if we can't identify the problem then all these solutions are bogus.

I do not recommend taking a diuretic as a treatment for this issue, but as a method to converging to a solution.

good man... i hate fucking sodium... and having too much of it will definitely hold water... keep it to a minimum and that will continue to help...

Try a shot of vodka before you go to bed. Saw that trick on the lean gains site for water retention. Keep in mind it was a 'once in a blue moon' recommendation. Not to be done often but it could work...

Can I double dose that lol

most complaints about this issue, is its stubborn fat, no matter how hard we diet & train that last chunk of adominal fat is always the last to go, I like steves idea about the green tea, and watch carefully what you eat, a trick i learned is eating further at time apart with smaller and few servings with lots of water with real lemon juice in it.

Metamucil is a fiber duretic, I hate to say it but i don't see how that works in ridding stubborn stomach fat.

I've always heard it curbs appetite ? Hence the fiber
