So I am just wrapping up day three and I have been sweating all day and I am currently so bloated (hands and feet) I cannot get my rings off. Is this normal? how long will it last? should I take a diuretic or a laxitive?

Try to drastically cut your salt intake for a while and drink plenty of water. Usually a low carb diet with do the opposite - make you lose excess water. Cut salt, alcohol, drink water and up the exercise (if you're not already exercising). Sweating does help to rid the body of excess water and excercise will speed up that process. Don't worry and just give it a few more days. I know when i reduce sodium, bloating goes way down - except during my period - then all bets are off!
