So even when I'm decently lean my face gets very puffy after a high carb cheat day. I suspect its water becasue it goes away just as fast when I return to my regular diet. Is there any diuretic that isn't too dangerous that I could take before a holiday for example to not look as bloated on pictures?

If it’s gone in a day or two, is it worth taking a diuretic for?
If Im eating a lot for multiple days it stays like that until I return to the diet.

Something light like diazide wouldn’t be the end of the world to take here and there but I wouldn’t go taking it for a week straight on vacation for the sake of taking good pics because I couldn’t stick closely enough to my diet

Staying true to your question, a "light" diuretic for this purpose would be something like 25mg ephedrine. Add 30-60 minutes of cardio or a little bit of sauna and you are in business.

It's already been said, but
Caffeine
Dandelion root
Also, arimidex makes me pee like crazy if I'm puffy
Or no carbs for a day or two

There was a product by Now Foods that I used to take, it actually worked quite well, I just can't remember the product name but I see it's now called Water Out. And strong coffee. I prefer Vietnamese coffee. Great taste, but keep in mind it's higher in caffeine than most other coffee.

Vietnamese coffee is like crack, if you make regular coffee with grounds u can add a little of the vietnamese grouds to give it a extra kick.
I've never done that, I'll have to give it a try. Are you just adding the grounds to the coffee you just made?
I lost 1.5kg of water weight in 3 hours taking 100mg of furosemide.
Barely noticeable and that’s NOT a weak diuretic.
Remember it’ll pull Water from your muscles as well (and in fact mostly) so bye bye fullness and it’ll drop your blood pressure so bye bye vascularity.
My impression was that it’s not worth it and I won’t use it.

No when I make a fresh pot I have mixed the grounds and brewed them together.
Could be sodium depending what you are eating. A few slices of pizza is all it takes for me.
