Could be..no diuretic is keeping more water in your system than usually hence the "smoother" look. Don't feel bad bro...I hope to some day get past "lumpy" to smooth. BTW thanks for the $$$$ ..........456..... AND NO IT WASN'T FOR ANYTHING ILLEGAL EITHER!!!

press, don't panic bro. Its a combination of taking on more water because you changed your chemistry (ECA IS a diuretic!) and the fact that you're dieting hard and your muscles are going to be somewhat flat from the constant glycogen depletion. I don't know what to say about the ECA...I'd probably get back on it...or...up your potassium or both. Do you have your pre-contect diuretics set? Don't go starting on them yet, but you might take 1 or 1/2 of 1 to get some of the fluid moving out again.

Presser watch the DIURETICS bro. They can fuck you up if you arent carfull. It happened to my boy. Talk about flat and smooth. He had no water he got beat by a diuretic. So just a subtle warning. sorry.

IF you haven't used any before, fuck it and pass this time. Although they do help. Aldactone is good, lasix is in there, but it's a loop diuretic so you lose vital nitients and minerals though. Extra potassium is generally needed. I would just double up on the Taraxatone and call it good with the sodium and water depletion.

THEY SCARE ME AND IM PRETTY GOOD TO GO NATURALY I THINK BUT WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHAT DIURETICS YOU GUYS THINK I SHOULD TAKE

From what I saw in the pics the other day you aren't holding enough water to warrent the use of diuretics. Being your first show I would't do anthing earthshatteringly different from what your original plan was. Stick to the no-sodium, distilled water and the vitamin C. I would get back on the ECA'a though. If your like me and hooked on them the mental acpect is enough to keep me running them for a while yet.

Some artificial sweetners will cause water retention.... maybe the crystal lite?

I would recommend a mild diuretic like hydrochlorothiazide. I bet your girlfriend/wife could go to her OB/GYN and complain about PMS bloating and get a scrip for it. Cheap too. You could also look into potassium-sparing diuretics.
