I am two weeks out and around 10 percent bodyfat for a figure competition. I am staying bloated in my pouch area. Looks like I am holding alot of water. I plan on cutting all gum, splenda, crystal light today. Do you all suggest cutting salts like mustard and hot sauce now? I know some forums say salt load for a week, then cut the week before. Any last 2 week tips?

congrats on the 10%!!! A friend of mine cut out ALL seasonings and extras the week before, i.e. salt, pepper, mustard, garlic powder, everything, but I've not heard of 2 weeks out, nor have I heard of 2 weeks before salt load, then stop. BUT, that's not to say people don't do it.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but I do wish you the very best!!0 -
You are looking great! How you approach peak week will likely take care of the extra water you are holding under the skin in your abdominal area. Keep flushing with plenty of water 2 weeks out but be careful of cutting sodium too early as you still have 2 weeks to go and you don't want to peak too soon or risk not getting enough sodium for a prolonged period of time and really throw your body for a loop. My trainer allowed me mustard and pepper at 2 weeks out. All seasonings were eliminated the final week. I didn't do any salt loading but did supplement with potassium during peak week and did heavy water flushing.0

I am two weeks and and will water load next week ( gallon measurements from one to one and one half on different days), Ive never heard of salt- loading; will cut salt 24-36 hours prior to competition or you will cramp and peak to soon.0
