My debloat method (not just avoiding water)

So after about a year and a half I have finally settled upon a debloat method that I am done experimenting with for the time being. There are 3 main components and a few downsides.

1. Drink water to failure. Although some users say not to drink water, some study compilation I read off of a year ago said that high water consumption intermittently through the day was not bloating so I decided to try it out. Since then I have been doing the same thing with water which is drinking as much as possible whenever I get the chance. I drink k around 1.5 gallons of water a day (6 liters) plus or minus half a gallon. The only consistent consumption I receive is in the morning where I drink about a half liter no matter what in addition to black coffee. I also drink about 30% of my daily water while at the gym where I just chug as a daily ritual.
I assume this debloat stems from the fact that I’m pissing out all of my sodium and electrolytes making me retain less water. “But what about your body retaining more because of the lack of electrolytes??” That’s part 2,

2. Potassium daily. I take gluconate - just the cheapest on Amazon. I used to only take it for special events but it’s so cheap and so effective that I take 180mg every night and 270 every morning. My assumption is that this tricks my body into believing I have enough electrolytes (which I don’t believe me). Main downside of this is that my athletic ability is hindered causing me to definitely put out less muscular performance while debloat. I generally avoid sodium dense items, and don’t salt my food, but my glacier clear pisses lead me to believe that my sodium is just extracted anyway.

3. Exercise. I make an effort to sweat profusely due to exercise at least 3x a week. This is an extra precaution to keep my sodium low. I do stairmaster and stay in zone 2 for about 45 minutes which makes me sweat pretty bad, if you don’t have the time hop on the rowing machine and do some zone 2 which is a bit more intense, and if you’re lazy hop in the sauna.

I’ve also tried facial massage for debloat in shower religiously for about 2 months, but honestly it looked worse and definitely made me redder.


I’d like some input if y’all have any quips but this is my method that I’ve finally settled on. I can send a few pics of me over pm if you’d like some reference photos of me peak debloat and bloat with very close bf.

Mainly, I just make sure to drink enough water 3.5-4L. Whilst making sure to have a consistent (and this is important) intake of sodium, potassium and magnesium.

I'm also careful to avoid high-inflammatory, high sodium foods, processed foods, alcohol, caffeine and gas producing foods.

Aerobic exercise helps too.

I drink dandelion root and leaf tea, and usually eat more complex carbs.

I’d say that besides losing fat just drinking a fuck ton of water is the most effective. Behind that is exercise but it’s pretty temporary at a debit pov, and in last potassium. It’s the combination of everything that does it for me. Experiment and take some photos same lighting trying different things over the course of a month.
 
Sleep + Water + electrolytes
In that order

I’m def not getting enough sleep and I look fine. If anything good sleep makes me bloated in the morning. Not denying that sleep is overall worth it tho

no they help u absorb water better. if u drink too much water ur flushing out minerals
Exactly, electrolytes are minerals which make you retain more water and in effect bloat you…

no your body bloats when its dehydrated and can't absorb water. electrolytes + water will flush out the water

I do running on the treadmill, my goal is to run a 5k in 15 minutes every single day JFL, I want to get an elite 5k time.
 
isnt 6 litres to much water and would flush out minerals
 
no your body bloats when its dehydrated and can't absorb water. electrolytes + water will flush out the water
So there’s evidence for both sides, but that’s where I went the pseudo science route and experimented for a few months. In my experience it was night and day between low sodium (main electrolyte) and high water intake. Should be noted that I took potassium glucinate in addition so I wasn’t fully getting rid of electrolytes. Trust me on this and give it a try.
 
Even if you avoid sodium you probably need significantly more potassium.

maybe for a perfectly optimal debloat, but I think that there are diminishing returns at a certain point and Ive experimented with more and havent noticed much. Ive pretty much just settled into what Im doing now because of the effect:convenience ratio
