What if you're drinking more than you should for your body weight? Will that encourage water retention? I was talking to my bf the other day and he thinks a lot of my problem might be water retention because of how swollen my ankles/calves look (I should post a pick and get an opinion...swollen vs. chunky). He was saying I should try a diuretic or the cabbage soup diet (yuck) to see if it's water retention.
Anyways, I drink a TON of water because it's the only beverage I drink and I constantly seem thirsty. I don't know how much I drink in a day. I go through about 5 18L bottles of water a month and that's just me...but I don't know what that works out to for a day
