SHREDDED IN SEVEN
John Berardi, Ph.D, C.S.C.S., a former bodybuilding champ, shares the secret diet tricks that help bodybuilders get ripped before a contest. (Cauton: These steps require depriving the body of water and carbohidrate, so follow them only as directed, and only in the last week of the program)
7 days out:
Begin drinking lots of water - around 2 gallons a day (32 8-ounce cups!), but adjust 2-3 cups up or down for every 10 pounds you wegh above or below 220lbs. At the same time, add a few dashes of salt to your meals.
6 days out:
Cut your carbs - take in 50 or fewer grams of carbs for the next 3 days. Eat mainly protein and healthy fats, but dont skimp on vegetables. (You're still salting your food and drinking a lots of water)
3 days out:
Dramatically increase your "dry carbs" - eating potatoes, yams, and rice cakes every 2-3 hours. Limit your intake of anything prepared with water, such as vegetables, pasta and rice. (Keep drinking water, though; at this point, you're just slowly preparing your body for less water over the next two days) Stop salting your food today and avoid high-sodium foods - such as most canned products and pre-packaged meats. (Dont worry about your calorie or carb intake over the next 3 days)
2 days out:
The extra water and salt that you've been consuming have signaled the body to excrete more water now - much of which will come from under your skin, revealing the muscles beneath. Help it along with an over-the-counter diuretic like Taraxatone or Natural Water Balance. Use as directed on the label until the day of the event.
1 day out:
Limit your water to no more than a cup all day (This should be your entire fluid intake). You'll still be peeing a ton, and because you're not replacing the water (or the salt), your skin will be getting thinner and showing more muscle definition. Continue eating primarilly protein an dry carbs every 2-3 hours - ypu wont like it, but you'll like the results you get the next day. So tough it out.
The day of:
Limit your water and keep your sodium low, but eat anything else you like. You'll keep the chiseled look all day long.
Before going to your event, get your pump on by doing the following exercices in circuit fashion (one set of each, one after the other, without rest): pushups, chinups or lat pulldowns, squats, dips, and barbell curls. Do 10-15 reps foer each (the weight should be light). When you've finished circuit, rest as long as it takes to catch your breath, and repeat one or two more times for a total of 2-3 circuits. It's party time! See you on the beach...
I dont know if any of the girls tried this. Tell me. I know my husband did it and at the end of the 7th day he looked awsome - all his muscels were like poping out like crazy!!!
