How to use a mild diuretic precontest?

3 days out?

Wouldn't it affect carb loading?

thanks.

Just start the day before the show.

Try diazide (sp)

half a tab say around 6a.m. half a tab around noon, 1 tab around 7 or so, 1 tab a few hrs before pre judging, half a tab around lunch and half an hour or 2 before night show if needed.

Pretty mild IMO but should help.

Thanks!!

But wouldn't it affect carb loading in a negative way? I might be wrong....

No. If it effected carb loading in such a negative way, no one would do it...this is obviously not the case.

half a tab is plenty and safe IMO

I took only half a tab last year and I was flat as a board saturday morning

I then ate Mcdonald pancakes and everything was fine

Are you saying you only took a half a tab total or are you saying you took a half a tab each time you took it periodically over a 1 or 2 day period?

[Stavios]

no I only took half a diazide the night before the show, that's it.

that was more then enough for me !

this year I won't use any diuretics
