Drying out.
« on: May 01, 2006, 01:05:51 PM »
Lets say you haven't drank water in 24 hours(you're not going to drink any more until after the show) and you are lookin pretty thin skinned...would the consumption of a drying food like graham crackers and dark chocolate or even something rich in sodium be good to suck up some more water from beneath the skin before the show?

I don't know but dark chocolate and graham crackers sound amazing...add a mashmallow and fire and I would be in HEAVEN.

Dieting sucks :D

Sodium loading is always a difficult thing...it can cause the total oppostie and make you look bloated.

In a show I did...one guy had a small bottle of soy sauce and right before he went on stage, prejudgings/Night show he would take a teaspoon of this stuff and looked amazing

Another guy I know was told to eat potatoes for carb loading....he knew no better and was eating potato chips for 3 days straight..lucked out, came in shredded and won his class (this is no BS)
