Can drinking tons of water mean that you will never bloat from a high sodium meal?

No...: The sodium will help hold water in the body. Eventually if your kidneys are working well you'll be able to clear it but it may take a while.

Something I don't understand regarding angiotensin receptor blockers, since they lower the amount of sodium and water you retain does it mean I'm prone to dehydration when I exercise or sweat? Do I need to drink more water than before?

So I have decided to cut out sugar. What I mean by that is I only eat my 3 meals a day and drink a lot of water. Is it normal to experience a breakout about two weeks after the start of it. I am still getting sugar in but only if it is part of a meal?
