I was wondering whether cardio has any effect on water retention. Can it reduce it. For example does less fat allow you to hold less water?

I've read an article about low carb dieting while one juice. You carb up once every 10 days or so, then go back to the low carb diet and so on...Heard it works pretty good. Maybe I'll give it a try next summer with a heavy test base summer cycle.Originally Posted by hung-solo

Sorry, I didn't mean "low carb diet". I meant moderate carb diet 150-175g. ed. yeah the body needs carbs, but if you like to keep some definition when you're on I'm just saying that there's options to try out. Who knows, maybe he only needs to watch his carb intake. Carbs attract water, estrogen causes water retention and you just had 700g carbs today...IMO, there might be a chance that some of the carbs you're eating are helping you retain some of that water. All I'm saying is that there are options.Originally Posted by Tribex

Yes it can, just not estrogen/progesterone induced water retention. Also, the whole diuretic effect of cardio is short lived.
Agreed.
