Hello everyone) 24 weeks ago I had an appointment with my doctor, they said that in one month I gained twice as much weight as I should have, because water is accumulating in the body, they told me to give up salt and sugar, and to follow a diet, and drink artichoke extract (phytohol) for better water removal from the body. Has anyone experienced this? And what did you do in such a case?
