Over the counter Diuretics?

hardHITer001 · 11-02-2002, 10:07 AM

Has anyone ever used them pre-contest? Do they work? Any brand recommendations?

Thanks

Absolutely TARAXATONE by Cytodyne Tech...the best I've found!

You have to love definitive answers! Thanks!

So at what point do you start using them?

gopro · 11-02-2002, 12:50 PM

I usually start on Monday for a Sat show.

I like CLA. It is one of the few natural nutrient partitioning agents around. Its effects are not dramatic, but over time add up. ALA is a mixed bag for me...I think its great for those that eat a decent amount of carbs on their diet, but I diet on very low carbs. I do use it at my post workout meal though, as this meal has most of my carbs for the day.

hardHITer001 · 11-02-2002, 01:14 PM

I’m currently using ALA 3 x a day. My carbs are 40% of my diet.

I couldn’t decide if I wanted to drop it as my carbs dropped closer to show time.

Do you think it would be beneficial for a high carb meal during carb cycling?

You can just lower your doses as you drop carbs. Yes, its good for a high carb meal during carb cycling.

I am entering my first comp this December, but I potassium loaded for pictures, and plan on doing it for my comp too-Worked great.

Done correctly it can work incredibly well...done incorrectly it can backfire or even be dangerous.

I'm glad you did it right!
