UNoffical "How to Cut" thread and sample diet...

[bigsd67]

great post.

i always thought keeping sodium low was a good idea so you can help get rid of the water weight. maybe i'm wrong...

i also think staying away from processed/frozen/canned foods is a good idea in general and eating whole/organic/raw foods was also a good way to clean the body of toxins and get some more natural vitamins/energy.

i agree about staying away from processed and canned...recently i cut out cold cuts and already see better results, not that they were too detrimental, but you really never know how much additives are in them....also in a pinch if you need to have canned veggies you can rinse them off of most of the sodium (however in a pinch is the key phrase).

also keeping sodium low is a good idea, but as many say if you just drink enough water (i stick with 1.5 - 2 gallons a day) you really wont be affected until you decide to compete.

i think a good rule of thumb is: if there's more than 3-4 ingredients, and it comes in a package, you can probably find something healthier.

Absolute truth.
