Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hang in there. A 10% drop in body fat is impressive! To answer your questions: - Every day but free day. - Stop the creatine 10 days or so before photos and see the psycho diet in the FAQ or the EAS photo prep advice I'll paste at the end of this - Yes - http://www.skwigg.com/id64.html Plus some of them are starting at around 18-20% body fat, so a large drop puts them in the low teens or single digits. Here's the standard photo prep advice from EAS ~~~ 5 Days before Photos: Cut out three portions of carbs from daily intake. Increase Protein portions to nine. Reduce sodium to 1000mg daily Drink lots of water 4 Days before: Cut out two portions of carbs. Increase Protein portions to ten. 3 Days before: Consume 1 carb, then workout, then consume 2 carbs afterwards. Protein portions still at ten. 2 Days before: Do light cardio only. Eat 6 meals with carb portions at 1.5 instead of regular size. Day before: No exercise. Drink plenty of water in the morning, but limit it in the afternoon. Reduce sodium intake to 500 mg. Take Glycerin Cocktail--25-50ml Glycerin, 4 oz Red Wine, and 12 oz water. Day of photos: Eat light meals before the photos. Do a 20 minute pump up session before pictures. Can repeat Glycerin cocktail before photos. Limit water intake until after photos. ~~~ On 3/6/06, <atldiana@...> wrote: > <SIGH> I just took some pictures and compared to my before.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 What is the purpose of the Glycerin Cocktail, could you substitute grape juice for the red wine, or is alcohol supposed to be part of the magic brew?

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 The alcohol and glycerin bring out vascularity. Making your veins look more prominent accentuates the thin-skinned, extra-cut look. Unless you're lean enough to see veins, I wouldn't worry about taking it.
