So...have you ever watched an event or the Ultimate Fighter? It's talked about so much on both how fighters can be drained after the dehydration.
Equipment: Sweat suit and a ymca member ship to go to their sauna.
Plus do not go dehydrate yourself just to lose weight for the hell of it, seriously,unless your going to have a fight the next day and have to weigh in the day before. Then don't do it unless you plan on starting your re-hydration as soon as your done weighing in for a fight. Because I can't tell if you would do either or unless someone told you not to...
Watch The Ultimate Fighter Season 5 episode 5 and skip to 19 minutes in and watch till around 27 mins in. You will see why I say this man...although Gabe was a puss lol, but yea.

That's what I don't get with boxing and wrestling and the likes. Judges require fighters to weigh in at a certain weight to make the class knowing full well that the same fighter/s will be at least 10lbs heavier for the fight after they've re-hydrated themselves. It seems pretty pointless not to mention unhealthy for the fighters. I understand that the fighters need to be roughly the same weight for it to be fair fight but still.

They use diuretics, water deprivation, saunas and cardio.
Sure some mma fighters and boxers have been known to lose 15 pounds of more for weigh ins and they do it in as little as 24 hours. But it isn't exactly safe, even with the professional aid they have. And it is only temporary they start regaining that weight immediately after they are weighed. Thats why fighters often look bloated on fight day in comparison to the weigh in

It is very very very dangerous to cut so much weight in 24 hours like they do in MMA. My friend knows UFC fighter Jake Shields who had to cut so much weight, it hindered his performance in the Octagon, although he won the fight. They lake laxatives, use saunas, do crazy cardio with garbage bags or cardio "cut suits" to sweat it out. The also look weak and gaunt at the weigh ins for those who do it correctly. They deplete there electrolytyes something fierce.

You don't hear about it because it's usually worthless and it's a big part of why people aren't supposed to weigh themselves every day and extrapolate their findings into meaningful fitness information.
Also, assuming an athlete is generally well-hydrated as compared to the average person, their body is cycling through water faster rather than holding onto it. This is also effected by the kind of things they're eating so they can lose a lot of water fast just by ceasing their usual maintenance.

celery is a natural diuretic as are alot of other natural sources, pro athletes know how ot cheat the tests. but like i seen in HS wrapped up in black trashbags and layers of heavy sweat clothes running, biking etc its all water weight. same as most large gains on a new cutting cycle most of it is flushed out water.

Perfect example of this would be Anthony Johnson who fought lastnight. He was walking about at 230lbs 10 weeks ago. When training camp starts, they change up their diet and lose fat. Whatever they can't lose before the weigh-in, they cut by not eating or drinking until after the weigh-ins and also cut their water with dehydration.. He was able to cut down to 171lbs.

Kinda simple for MMA fighters to do this b/c of water weight. I use the Kutting Weight suit and you can drop 6 pounds of water weight in a two hour lift-run session. They aren't actually losing fat or muscle, but just water weight. This is why some wrestlers are turning to Kutting Weight or sauna suits b/c when they need to drop 5 lbs in two days for weigh-in they just run off water weight then gain it back.

Water weight. Think about how much of your body is actually water. Remove sodium, drink water like its going out of style, do a ****-ton of cardio in a sweat suit, sit in a sauna, and the cut liquids completely 24 hours out. Definitely not good on yer kidneys(horrible actually), but you'll lose a ton of water weight fast...probably 5 pounds on just the low end. Happy sailing. Hit me back if ya have more questions yeh. Cheers
