Try increasing the amount of water you drink - your body may be responding to heat by hanging on to the water it gets. 64 oz may work during normal weather, but in the heat we all need to consume more water.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your response. I actually haven't had any M nuts lately, though i did have some soynuts. You may be right about the heat...it's been really hot here lately and I got sunburned the other day...may be contributing to the water retention. IF all this is is water (sticking head in sand)
