I don't see much sodium in that diet, how much water are you drinking? Should be taking in about 1.5 gallons per day, when your water intake is inadequate you'll hold water

you sure its water and not a little fat???... with winny that high you should be dry.

I can pinch it and it will stay for a quick second. Im going to try and up my water intake and increase cardio. Then see what happens.

well i see issues with your diet that could be causing it... drop the steak and potatoes... also salad can make you puffy and broccoli is known for bloating... try green beans, mushrooms and peppers... winny is dry as a motherfucker... change those things in your diet and see what happens

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...

The water at the midsection is called fat. Your eating to many carbs,not enough protien. drop your carbs to 100 grams a day and do your cardio.Eat meats (protiens) to stave off hunger and weakness. My two cents worth,good luck.

It's definitely not the steak thats making you bloat if it is bloat. It would be the potatoes.

Try picking up an OTC diuretic like Xpel and see if it helps. If it does, then adjust the diet.
