Thread: Low sodium food?

uhm read the nutrition labels...

Thanks For the Help Smart A.S

I don't know many off the top of my head, however - there is a book on food available, that lists whats in different types of food and veggies. I think it has about 3000 different meats, veggies, etc listed.

Don't know what the name of it is, but I think it's available at places like amazon.com. I bet someone here knows what it's called though.

I have a book called... The complete book of food counts, by Corinne T. Netzer, it includes calories, fat, protein, sodium, cholesterol, carbs and fiber... You can by it at almost ne book store..

As long as you stay away from processed foods, you'll be fine.

Stay away from egg whites, they'r high in sodium....something I didn't know for my last comp....

Realdeal, you actually don't want to do that! Last week plans!

You can use a diurectic like Taraxatone or Water Shed starting Thursday night,

So basically you load and taper water, load potassium, deplete sodium, curtail training, pose like crazy, and carb up slowly so that you don't spill. Some use a honey bear, taking 1 tbls every 15 minutes until there on the morning of! Also last day of tanning should be Tuesday. After the undercoating of Protan, Jan Tana's Competion tan (or if allowed) the morning of, Dream Tan. Also 400-600 mg of niacin (practise this once) about 25-40 minutes before the stage to bring out vascularity! Take cal/mag at night to aviod cramping, all week 1000-1500 mgs.

do you mean everyday keep adding 25% more water or same all days.

Yes till about 3 gallons and then taper, 2 on Thursday, one on Friday, many stop at 1-2 PM on Friday and then suck on an occassional ice cube, (you will need chap stick).

This is basically telling the body that water will be abundant and not to hold it, then fooling the hell out of it, you will drop 4-8 pounds of water.

If you sodium deplete, potassium load, it enhances this, and then the final carbs draw the water in from the subcuetaneous skin, into the muscles and internal organs!

Ahhh the wonderful things I have to look forward to.

its really tricky because you have to time everything right.

Do a practice run, mini version at 3 weeks out! Some need more carbs, like 30 grams per meal starting 1 1/2 days out, DON'T SPILL!
