Water Retention Pills

While dieting, you want to avoid dehydration as much as possible. Even mild dehydration can slow your metabolism, which will make weight loss even more difficult. That is why almost every decent diet out there that you read will stress drinking lots of water. -------------- Your two most important minerals: Iron and Chalk. If you smoke or don’t wear your seatbelt, please don’t tell me the deadlift is dangerous. Light weight is an oxymoron.

For a normal, healthy people taking an over-the-counter diuretic pill will only dehydrate you. You will feel like crap. you will just regain that water weight the next time you take a drink anyway. bad idea.

	2005/10/24, 05:03 AM stile stop watching the scale and looking in the mirror everyday...results will not happen over night....instead focus on how you're feeling.....how is the cardio going? what about your weight lifting? do you feel less stress? happier? etc....look for these other things instead...you will eventually notice dozens of things for the better.....eventually you'll look on the outside as you do on the inside....just eat well...workout hard...and sleep soundly....
