    you gotta check the sodium on stuff like hot sauce and other condiments, they're usually pretty high...

    yeah it basically boils down to sodium for me. The majority of that stuff has so few carbs it really doesn't matter. Well, most of it! LOL. Bar-b-q sauce is kinda high in carbs along with woshtershire sauce. Usually around the 4 week mark is when I cut out a lot of unneccessary things like condiments and powders , protein bars. etc...But I also know people that use those things until the end and look very good at show time. It's all about your preference.

    my ex used condiments like no carb BBQ sauces on his grilled chicken, some fat-free, low carb salad dressing.........he cut everything out about 4 weeks prior

    i used frank's red hot sauce throughout up until the end with no issues...i stopped with Low Carb Ketchup, BBQ and flavored Syrups about 2 weeks out. I'm finding that the continued use of the hot sauce hasnt really affected my body.

    I say cut them all out 4 to 6 weeks out.
    I never us them at any time. But 4 to 6 weeks will get ride of any side effects from the sodium etc.
