Move to the DASH eating plan and it will stop in a day or two. You will likely lose 4 lbs in a day or so,, Likely will be best to DASH rest of life. Side effect is living longer that those who dont DASH. Get this BOOK 9780743410076 Do Chap 9 exactly and you will know if DASH helps, There is no such thing as water reetention. It is always SALT and water.
