Your body adapts on a "what do I need" basis.
By taking in higher amounts of water your body starts to realize that it no longer needs to store as much water since it has become so plentiful. In the end it sheds more water weight as a result.
Same thing as fat loss slowing down in starvation mode because your body realizes it needs to hold onto fat to survive except in reverse.

If you're looking for foods to help you "de-bloat", here are several and how they work:
*Asparagus contains asparigine - a chemical alkaloid that boosts kidney performance, thereby improving waste removal from the body.
*Brussels Spouts help in stimulating the kidneys and pancreas. This helps in better cleansing of cells.
*Beets are natural diuretic foods that attack floating body fats and fatty deposits.
*Oats contain silica-a natural diuretic.
*Cabbage is known to aid breakage of fatty deposits, especially around the abdominal region.
*Carrots are a rich source of carotene that speeds the metabolic rate of the body and hastens removal of fat deposits and waste.
*Lettuce aids better metabolism and flushing of toxins.
*Tomatoes are rich in Vitamin C that aids the metabolism and release of water from the kidney to flush out waste.
*Horseradish, raw onions and radish speed up your metabolism.~Bethany
