I am open to any wise suggestion that will help me to hold less water on mid section and upper legs . I am lean 119 lbs and 5'2" and have low body fat , and biggest issue is the water retention . I have a decent healthy diet and lifting since January this year .
Thanks for your help

SALT! Crazy but if I don't add some salt to something daily I blow up like a blow fish. My advice is to go get your body fat tested, it's probably higher than you think (most people's is) and throw out your scale!
I drink min 60-70 oz water/day . Yes on my cycle each month I get more retention . I assumed I hold ton of water because my weight fluctuates a lot very rapidly and I thought that is due to water not fat. But again you might be right I may be holding more fat than I realized .
AnonLooking at your ebc pics, it appears as though that's where your body is holding fat.. I don't think you're lean enough to tell if it's fat or bloat. Keep dieting down on clean foods, keep up with cardio. Keep water in 1-2 gallon range per day and watch the artificial sweeteners, if you're using them.
AnonAlso, where you are in your menstrual cycle can cause a flux in water retention. ..
I have been taking high amount of Vitamin C daily , drink good amount of water , it helps but I still need to get rid off more water
what's a good amount of water? for example my wife and I drink two gallons a day for multiple reasons, #1 your muscle tissue is largely made up of water,#2 it helps flush toxins out of the body,#3 helps with food digestion. if that is all in place I it comes down to a diet issue consistency of meals through the day etc etc or what your eating or muscle mass to bf ratio or your cardio and training regimen isn't up to par. could be a number of things.
how much water do you drink daily?cause the only way for your body to expel water is by drinking more water hence you go the bathroom a lot. its like drinking 2 and half gallons of water up to a show then cutting it the last few days your body gets rid of water thinking its getting more water due to drinking 2 1/2 gallons soo long. that and diet , sodium content comes into play a lot.
High dose vitamin C.
And Dandilion root extract.
Yes, this. Nothing else natural works better. People actually wet the bed from it sometimes. Works great.
Interested in this. How high are we talking?
I take around 5000 a day, I prefer the chewables
Thats a decent maintenance dose............. pre-comp i hit 15,000mg ED only for a max 5 days though because it gets a bit dangerous running too long at that mega-dosage........... i dont like Lasix, so high C and letro/nolva does the drying out job for me just fine.
I plan on going higher as the EBC nears the end
