What is the best way to lose some water weight without resorting to caffeine? I am definitely carrying some excess water right now, and I would like to get rid of it soon.

That makes sense. Does a low carb diet work too?

I lost 7-8 lbs of water weight in the first 3 days of my keto, so yeah you will lose a **** load of water right away. I didn't look any more cut for it though.

Fitnessman can you explain?
Isnt keto a low carb diet? with a lot of fat... ive been dousing everything in olive oil my whole life anyway...
Also, is the linme between body burning carbs and burning fat a blurred progressive line or a sharp line, because i think i was taught its always a combination of the two (though percentages can vary), but you make it sound like its one or the other."an almost intolerable awareness that every morning began with infinite promise.
Any book may be read, any idea thought, any action taken. Anything that has ever
been possible to human beings is possible to most of us every time the clock says
six in the morning. On a day no different from the one now breaking, Shakespeare sat
down to begin Hamlet and Fuller began her history of the Roman revolution of 1848.
Each of us has all the time there is; each accepts those invitations he can discern.
By the same token, each evening brings a reckoning of infinite regret for the paths
refused, openings not seen, and actions not taken."

No Low carb diets were made popular by dr. Atkins. They do work well, but they are not intended for bodybuilders.
On a ketogenic diet we are using carbs to our advantage...Such as post work out nutrition and carb loads. Depends on your body type and goals, there are a few spins you can put on a keto to make it work even better.
Low carb diets are not good for us. High fat with carb spikes are.
in my opinion the line is sharp.Psalm 121

I agree with fitnessman's keto suggestion, plus more water in equals more water out. Try herbal fluid pill as well if you are preparing for an event.

As long as they don't contain any caffeine (which I have no tolerance for) I want to try them.

neather contain caffine and they both work AMAZING, you'll notice the effects of NWB the same day, and if you choose to use Cuts II you'll feel it probbly the next day, or same, both are good but i favor NWB....

"Impossible is just a big word throwen around by small men who find it easier to live in a world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. it's an opinion. impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is nothing."
