back to the original plan
I decided to go back to my original plan for the show, which is not to do any carb loading/depletion. I don’t know what I was thinking. Maybe I was too nervous for the show and article from chris aceto looked like awesome. Unless you are on steroids, I don’t think those carb loading stuff works well. For natural builders, doing anything extreme before the show will just backfire you. Even from the view of science, it just doesn’t make sense about no water, no sodium, high postassium thing.
Carbohydrate is the one that holds water, not water itself. If I stop drinking water completely, the body will just react and try to hold water as much as possible. I may go for very low carb only a day before weigh in. Last time when I depleted my carbs for 3 days, I was still drinking 2 gallons of water but became dry and shredded because body don’t have any carbs to retain water. I don’t have size to compete against those huge Americans, so I have to bring what I can do best.
