  • Need help with water retention problem..

    Im having a problem with water retention and my ankles are nasty and all puffy. Im drinking more water today and going to the bathroom allot but its still puffy and ick. Im not eating any more salt then normal, any ideas with what I could do to get rid of it? Is this normal on Atkins?

    I've never had that problem while doing Atkins. Maybe someone else can chime in here to help you out. How much is your sodium intake daily?

      I have this problem alot. I wake up with very swollen fingers especially when I eat broccoli or too much sodium. The only way I can get rid of it is to drink tons of water. I wish there was a magic solution to this one but I cant find anything other than drinking more water

        I found the reason why I was having this problem I was eating to much Salmi meat. I cut it out all together and I have had no problem since.

          Aussie...I hear you! I really have to watch my salami intake. It's one of my favorites and I could easily go overboard. Glad you found out what the problem was

            Yep , it's that hidden sodium will get you everytime. Glad you found the culprit. God Bless, Joe
