Diuretic (Water Pills)

[aNewLife14 101]

Just wondering, I've been at a stall for over 3 weeks now and wondering if I could take a LASIK Water pill just to get this stall moving. Drinking water and eating correctly, just not loosing any weight. I am seven weeks out and getting really frustrated.

Talk to your doc. Stalls are frustrating however diuretics are for swelling in tissue and Water retention.

The stall will break!

All a diuretic will do is dump Water. It will not dump fat. So that's no help to you - yes a reduction on the scale, but one that will bounce back as soon as you stop the diuretic. The point is to lose fat.
Sorry to bear bad news

My surgeon said stay away from diuretics

Don't take a Water pill unless your doc tells you to, and monitors you. Some people might still need them, but as you are eating so little and losing, your blood pressure could drop too low with a diuretic. Besides, a diuretic won't make you lose weight, only water, and that comes back when you stop the water pill. Just ride it out. Trust me, it all evens out in the end.

Its not a stall unless you have no loss in lbs or inches in over 30 days.

Did you measure yourself? Take photos?

Why don't you try that before hurting your body further.

The truth is we are so used to hurting ourselves to see weight loss that's our first go to. Treat your body better and let it do its thing.
