definitely avoid high sodium, it makes the body retain water weight.

also make sure youre staying hydrated bro. the more water you consume, the less your body will try to hold onto subcutaneous water storage.

Right, gallon a day?

Right, gallon a day?

not necessarily. At least a half gallon for sure, but beyond that it depends on your activity level on a given day and how much you're perspiring.

A quick and pretty reliable gauge of your hydration at a given time is your urine color. Pick a day when you can get away with peeing in a clear glass throughout the day. Hold up the glass to the light. It should be light yellow. If it's darker than that, you could be drinking a bit more water. If it's totally clear like water, you've been drinking a bit more than necessary.

And yeah there are a whole lot of qualifications to this quick and dirty method, but it works ok.
