Well, I don't believe everything I read, but check out the Sept. 2000 issue of MMag. On page 34 there's an article about drinking A CASE OF DIET COKE A DAY FOR DIURETIC PURPOSES! The article says it's good for shredding purposes. The article said some trainers recommend this & say to do it 7 days out from competition. Has anyone ever done this prior to a competition? Just curious? I don't think my kidneys could handle it!!! ------------------ IP: Logged |

Yep, heard it before. I personally wouldn't do it, rots your teeth out. An ECA stack or just speed should work about the same. IP: Logged |

I never did show but I know diet cola makes you pee. ALOT. I read that article to and it makes sense. I tried it and I believe I lost some water weight. And hell, it's alot easier than sodium deletion. IP: Logged |

How does Diet Coke rot your teeth? There's no sugar in it. No carbs either. [This message has been edited by The Whole F/N Show (edited July 31, 2000).] IP: Logged |

Alchohol is a diuretic also...however I do not recommend drinking a case of beer during the week of a show! LOL! However, I did stay on the ECA stack the last week before the show and drank 8oz of red wine the night before and before the night show. The best way I have seen to wring water out of your system is to drink about 2 gallons a day of distilled water. Doing this and lowering my sodium dropped me 3-4lbs both during the trial run last month and the week of the show. However, if you take sodium depletion too far, you will start retaining again. I believe this is what happened to me on Saturday. IP: Logged |
