....one thing - if you like cashews/nuts etc.

Switch to natural almonds....only 2 grams of net carbs...ZERO SODIUM....great source of fat

Thanks That made my day!!! I do have sugarless gum that's all I chew. I actually used to chew a pack a day.. Now I chew like 2 pieces for an extended period of time... I am a gum addict!
I just thought about this... I take that Amplify O2 from the AF store... has NO2 and creatine in it. Also, I'm still on straight creatine... which I know I won't be coming off of for a bit ( So I think) Do you think I should switch out the Amp for just 5g straight up creatine? Both I know will have me also holding some excess water...

I would drop the straight Cr and keep the AMp to get the NO@ boost.

In fact, drop the regular this week(soon), and see how the retention looks.....then you can make another change(s) if possible

O.k. I will do that as of tomorrow.... I already have my stuff mixed up and here at work with me.
Today the water retention has dropped which is why my weight has dropped down some. I also have a prescription diuretic I got from the doc a few months back. I have yet to use it though and she actually had intended for me to use it consistently because of water retention. I figured something else was causing it so I refused to take it at that point... but knew it could come in handy for the final week.

is it a loop or non-loop diuretic??


Using that will change how you carb up...or should anyway

Honest to God I don't know I don't even have it here or else I would look it up. I know it's one that has been used for a long time and is given to people with high blood pressure too?!?
What's the difference between a loop and non-loop diuretic?

One is a lot harsher.....


the other one is a bit milder and does not deplete potassium.

O.k. well she told me it was a milder one.... but that I may want to eat a banana here and there.... I'll look it up.

For my final question.... The AF supplements from the store.... Do those ever have to be cut out???
