This question is asked so much by women more than men because of the diffrent hormones and fat content around a woman's body to a Male-

Let me say with my research on this that fluid in the way of water and not diet coke or any fizze drink is part of the curing process-Women hold more fat around there legs and arms and buttock area-A lot of this is a fluid retention,and as crazy as it seems drinking the correct fluid-WATER- can help here - Also the amount of fat content in your diet needs to be controlled,Eating a salad every day is not the answer either,you need correct fat in your diet-Have a look at  Strip-Fat web site for more advice.

Ok, I really need some help here. I am getting married in 1 month, my dress fits... but can hardly breath, and need help zipping, and thats with a corset! I used to be skinny.

It is not a quick fix but it will give you great advice.
