After a few days of normal eating and some shitty got some serious retention. Anyone else feeling extremely large? Any tips to help loose some of this water?
I am still doing cardio and lifting. I tapered my aldactone for a few days afterwards.

I'm with you guys. I'm up 35 lbs in 2 weeks since the USA. I hate it so fucking much that I am going to do another show in 4 weeks just for an excuse to lose this friggin' water.

Yesterday I ate only 100 grams of carbs and drank 2 gallons of water. Took a diazide in the am and 1 in the pm. Woke up 10 lbs lighter today and feel way better.

Best thing to do if you don't want to take any diuretics, do as many days in a row of under 100 grams of carbs and 2 gallons of water (even if it is only 2 days). You'll flush your system out and a ton of water. Diazide will help the process. I wouldn't use aldactone, you'll just rebound harder when your aldosterone levels pop back up

I have a bro that told me that for some reason after comps. Your e levels increace dramaticly. Try some novaldex to see if that helps. If you are not on test don't use adex because it could send your e levels way to low

LOL at some of the above. I have NEVER rebounded like that in my life, even after indulging in all the things I was craving post-contest.

Having said that, I usually only binge for a day or two and then start eating lots of clean food again with maybe a treat once a day.

For those guys that suffer from this bloat, I suggest get drinking. Psuh down 10-12 litres of water ED for a few days, get your binge eating under control and you will piss all the bloating out again. I wouldnt use any more diuretics (They are part of the problem not the solution) although I would use a high dose of Vitamin C and some multi minerals to keep your levels up while flushing.

After a few days you will look and feel MUCH better.
