cutting water and scale weight change
OK here is a typical week for me before a show. Please give me your thoughts.
Sunday am. I'll weight my self 173#.
My diet at this point has not changed for several weeks about 2700 calories.
Come wed of show week I carb load. Up to 400 grams in one day. Normal daily intake is 200 grams. Thurs and Fri. I go back to normal diet.
Water intake has been 1 1/2 gallon a day for complete diet. Can't seem to get that 2 gallon per day quota.
Thursday water will be 1 gallon, friday 1/2 gallon.
Sat. show day sip water.
I start taking dandielion rood 1500 mg every 6 hours on thursday am. till Friday night. Along with b-6 250 mg every 12 hours.
Here is what is so funny.
I'll get up Saturday morning and weight myself maybe if i'm lucky i'll be 172# most times I see no scale weight change during this 7 day window. I always look crisp sat. for my shows I do well at the shows. I just can't understand with the carb up day, the water depletion and dandilion root I'm still at the same weight.
I hear all these stories about this guy lost 7 pounds this week etc.
Another guy lost 11 pounds since wed. You all have heard the same stuff.
The main reason I'm posting this is this year I'm going to have to work hard to make the 176 middle weight class. So I have been thinking about trying aldactone for the first time. Will it pull more water out of my system? If you can advise me on aldactone that would be helpful.
Any advise would be great.
Thanks,
