sodium intake is a major factor. Don't add extra salt to anything. There's OTC diuretic's you can try and those can be found in vitamin shoppe, etc. One concoction i've read about in mens health as a mild diuretic is dandelion tea with lemon. It's a natural diuretic that promotes water and salt excretion from the kidneys.
