any tricks to no holding water after a cheat
ad
hey all so im getting ready for my first Nabba show and im 6 weeks out currently, i have a "cheat meal" every wed and sat night for dinner which i keep pretty clean i dont do anything high in fats more of carb load i guess so like 200-250g white rices with my meat serve or like a garlic bread roll something like that but i have always been very sensitive to retaining fluid and seem to hold water even from these clean cheats , so in the off season im very reluctant to even cheat with high fats and good food because i hate the water retention is there any tricks to minimise this?
thanks in advance guys

Try dropping all grains and eat potatos or sweet potatos or some other gluten free non grain carb source.
Dandelion Root. Cheap and works great. Try it, no joke. Super underrated supplement.
ah yea, it does work pretty well, i find celery seed has been working well also!!
Dandielion tea works for me. Natural diuretic.
I'll have to give that a try sometime
Bro honestly when in the offseason who gives a shit. If you compete the only thing u should be worried about is how you look on stage. Now I'm not saying gain tons of fat on the offseason but water retention is part of the game my friend.
haha yea i know!! just a head fuck sometimes especially while preping
Cardio and sweat... Or diuretics... I'd advise against the latter.
Just keep in mind that carbs equates to glycogen (and possible fat). When that glycogen is stored in the tissues, water is stored with it.
What I do is follow my training and meal plan for a the week. If I make it thru without cutting corners, then I treat myself one meal during the weekend. Depending on what I cheat with, next day may be fasted cardio, low carb, or both. Because I weigh myself once a week, I plan my week to reach my go and keep it balanced overall. Lil bit extra on this plate means a lil bit less on the next.
yea I figured as much i have been doing fasted cardio the next morn and also posing practice after my session sort of helps to squeeze out the water, yea i wouldnt wanna bomb a diuretic just for that haha!! its not really a big deal i guess i just hate holding the excess for the couple of days following, tho i have found that i do hold water very easily and longer then most people which sucks! thanks for the reply doss much appreciated!!
No doubt homie
