Because it's all water ... so it will be short of water and the skin will get worse! I am a normal diet+fitness! I feel much more useful than previous dieting! Fitness is so needed! Be sure to persist! Running for an hour or swimming is very useful! Drink some red beans and barley during the day to relieve edema. Massage hard with essential oil or emulsion at night can also eliminate edema! I hope you can succeed!
