How much weight loss do you really notice on Lasix?

[RightWay]

I'm a chick.

I keep reading about Lasix, and trust me -- I HAVE RESEARCHED OLD POSTS AND THIS SITE FOR INFO -- but I still didn't find my answer.

When y'all say Lasix works immediately, I understand that you mean you pee a lot right away. But how soon is it until you notice weight loss and less bloating?

And, how much water weight did you seriously lose on it, and in what amount of time? Y'all mention bloat occasionally. You can't even imagine what PMS bloat is like!

I've never used lasix and probably most people on this board haven't either. It isn't effective for fat loss. Only pro bodybuilders will get any benefit out of it and it is a temporary fix for water retention. Plus it's DANGEROUS to mess with. You can die from dehydration quickly if you don't know what you're doing. If you have water retention use an over the counter medicine.

If your main problem is water weght,you need to look into why,especially if you are male.What is your sodium intake?Your estrogen levels?Your liver function tests?Your protein intake?...And finally,your overall water and fluid intake?Lasix is not a panacea,nor will it rip you to shreds,unless you are already there anyway.Realistically,you cn expect to lose about 2 kg from 20-40 mg lasix(of course everyone is different)Bear in mind,the more water you lose,the more electrolyte depleted you can become.I hae seen a person's potassium drop from normal(4.1) to way low(2.9) after one 40mg dose,so be forewarned.

Once I took too much lasix due to lack of knowledge. My abs cramped up, I thought death was before me. Only use for serious competition. I used sensibly for a comp and it worked great. You really don't need it, too many horror strories.

When I take one 20mg tab of lasix with no sodium or water restriction I lose about 2lbs in a 6 hour period.

Keep in mind I am about 5% bodyfat and not holding too much water to start off with.

Most of the bbuilders I have spoken with use Lasix as a last resort the night before.

Most prefer Aldactone and the current favorite Dyaczide, which is a a lot less harsh, slower acting, and potasium sparing (somewhat).
