If you don't drink liquids on your carb up day you are ruining your carb up.
Don't be stupid

Regardless you will hold more water. You can't go any length of time without water, so you're going to hold it.
On a contest day, bodybuilders will carb up on little water to cut water retention, but it's a temporary thing. It will come back, so why waste your time and rid your body of something that's crucial like that unless it's for a contest or trying to make weight for a sport?
Don't bother.
The Scivation people (Cut Diet) have a carb meal rather than a carb day, and they limit water to keep the bloat down, so that's an option to keep water down if it's only one meal, but if it's a carb up day or 2, or even half a day, there's no point in even trying.

also decrease sodium intake drastically.
many many articles on sodium = water retention.
high sodium + high carbs = mega retention and bloat.Mind over Matter

Is this a real post? Water weight comes and goes...its not a big deal. I put on about 3-4 of water wight a day and its gone the next moring. Cutting water is down right stupid...if any drink MORE water...most the people here probably dont drink enough as it is.Originally Posted by lyoto_machida
