question for Adonis on artificial sweetners

[BM OUT]

How many weeks out from a show do you cut them out?Do you think they can smooth you out?Do you keep something like crystal light in your diet or drop it and if you drop it ,when?Lastly,Dave polaumbo believes in keeping sodium the whole way through.Others say cut it down gradually.Whats your take on this?

You're asking Adonis about contest prep? That's funny.

its fine to drink crystal light or diet soda soda up until the week of your show...aspertame has very little impact on blood sugar... i would cut them the week of the show and water load before your carb up.

palumbo is right about the sodium.....dont cut it at all till the very end....alot of people are so concerned with their sodium intake but its not really a issue till the last 48 hours.

Thanks,let me ask you one more question.I dont use salt,I use FRANKS red hot sauce.Should I cut that out and switch to table salt in order to better moniter it.Also,should I cut the water out more then twelve hours before the show[no dieretics]or is 12 hours ok?Last time I competed I went over 24 hours without and ended up looking stringy and small as hell.

if you like the hot sauce i would keep using it and use salt also....the only adjustments i would make is to bump up your sodium intake for 3 days right before your carb up then completely cut it out....while your increasing your sodium for those 3 days you should also be water loading for atleast 4-5 days...then those last couple of days when you cut your sodium down to nothing your body will try to normalize by flushing out alot of water.

yeah 24hrs is too long...i think the 10-12 hour range is good to cut the water....any longer than that and you will end up looking flat onstage.

All artificial sweetners are f*cking toxic. Don't consume any of them....

i have read many of those research studies and reports on both sides of the issue.

the general consensensus is that under normal consumption they are still considered to be safe.

I have written many papers  on the subject. They are far from safe......

Im not to concerned about the health aspects,Im concerned in the looks aspects.If I wanted to be healthy and safe I wouldnt powerlift or bodybuild.
