Been on a high sodium,high protein diet the last 3 days with zero carbs.Carbing up now for the next 2 days with minimum sodium and just wondering how much carbs do I need to eat exactly and how about protein?I weigh about 80kg

Are you working with anyone on your contest prep? Nobody here is going to know you well enough I'm afraid to give you very good advice.

no just being going by what I ahev been told by they guy at the supplement shop^^......I have noticed since I started carbing up a kinda of bloated look so would it be wise to use a natural dieuretic like dandelion root to dry me up and get cut?

For hitting the stage, say you are competing saturday (you might be late on this)... you will drink 2 gallons from sunday to tuesday. 1 and 1/2 gallons wed, 1 gallon thursday, 1/2 gallon friday. Gatorade or something with electrolytes the day of the show. Your carb up needs to be all low sodium and low GI carbs. Make it oats and sweet potatoes. I'd say eat roughly 25-50g of cho every 3 hours atleast. If you feel like you aren't thirsty and can get away with less than 1/2 gallon of water, then do it. But like I said, if you are competing on Saturday, it might be too late for this plan.

Are you competing tomorrow?!

[David-Cork]

ok yes I'm competing tommorw evening...as in 22 hours time:)....eating rice at the moment and drinking water...but was told to cut water around midnight(4 hrs time) and maybe take a natural dieuretic?...what should I eat tho before going on stage to fill out?
