Thanks Claire I'm using lemon to flavor my food
Do you take any diretuics to lose water weight? like diyzides?

When I was in the 148lb weight class I used taraxatone but found that lemon juice and warm water works fine. I have a bottle of taraxatone if I need it. I will see what I weigh on Wed morning then make a decision. I am also dropping my carbs on Tues so that should help with the water weight. By dropping carbs, I mean under 100 grams. I still need my oatmeal, fruits and veggies. But I will have to skip the trick or treat candy .

I don't really think pharma diuretics are worth the risk when there are so many other ways you can lose water weight.

The history of competitive bodybuilding is littered with the dead bodies of BBers from taking pharma diuretics.

There is a reason the IFBB does test for this substance.

My only other concern is for how low your calories are in your diet.

Unless you are mega tiny, 1200 kcals/day could be below your basal metabolic rate, and it could end up slowing your progress for fat loss.

I would go a bit with your own intuition on this one, if you do start to feel super hungry, or not hungry at all, I would adjust your calories.
