Cutting

[cprom185]

Does anyone know of a good way to cut down and dry out without the use of Diuretics?

if you mean without using diuretics like lasix and aldactone then yes there are. For my first show i didnt go with those diuretics and went to the natural herb store and grabbed some water pills they call them. It takes 3 days and 6 pills every 4 hours but you will come in dry. After using them i still find that the diuretics i said in the first line got ppl drier with less water. But it does work and it is a lot less prob then the other way to go at it for some ppl who dont react well (ie. shaky, hot, sweating profuse, frequent pissing)

You don't need diuretics, plain and simple. You will not hold water under your skin. You need to be well hydrated because your muscles are full of water. Honestly, just keep water and salt high, stay well hydrated (obviously not distended gut/bloated looking)...don't chug water right before you jump on stage. Even natural diuretics like dandelion root may cause you to look flat and not help your conditioning. It comes down to bf%. Usually when people think they need to lose water what they needed to lose is fat. I've tried natural diuretics, I've tried water loading etc...just leave things alone. You want to look "dry" but also "full"...that really comes down to conditioning (bf%).

It all boils down to hard work and educating yourself.

Most herbal diuretics are just caffeine...pretty worthless when compared with even a mild RX diuretic like HCTZ.

Also dandelion root, which is fairly strong. I lost 10lbs overnight for my first show. Not something I should have done.
