Why did her trainer tell her to take a diuretic? yes you will have to drink more to stay hydrated if taking one. It could be a loosing battle.

The only good reason to take a thiazide diuretic is if you have high blood pressure, otherwise forget it.
It can impair your glucose tolerance and dehydrate you for starters
