Last week before I went on vacation I took something called shredded. They refer to it as a aquretic. Now I took 6 pills in the am and 6 pills in the pm and after 3 days of that I was ******. I planned to do some eating and drinking while on my trip so I discontiuned use. My question is how often can I take these diuretics and what are the risks. I mean I felt like I was about to take the stage. I have never competed but a frined of mine who has turn me on to them to drop the water. Since its summer where I live and Im looking to shoot for as lean as a look as possible how often can I come on and off. will I loose muscle??? How will effect my training.???
