[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 19894, member: 3"] I have searched a lot for studies that explain why water retention is so much more common in some men than others when starting testosterone replacement. I have only found one that was done in men with low thyroid function who were exposed to growth hormone alone, testosterone alone and GH+T combination. They speculate that either GH or testosterone may affect water balance (increasing water outside the cells or extracellular water) by an effect on kidney tubules. [URL]http://press.endocrine.org/doi/abs/10.1210/jc.2005-0553[/URL] I have been reading a few bodybuilding sites that say that increasing water intake may help decrease water retention. Also, some bodybuilders use diuretics once in a while to decrease water retention. I find that when I consume more carbs than I should, my water retention considerably goes up. Eating meats, eggs, dark green vegetables, nuts, etc and avoiding sweets, sodas, white breads/crackers, high salt consumption and pasta also help me not hold water so much. Cardio also helps me lower water retention considerably. [/QUOTE]
