    Diuretic diet. It works, but your piss will be brown at the end. Removing all the glycogen and water from your system can lose you over 5 pounds in a few days, but it won’t change your shape.

      I mean, there’s nothing preventing people from drinking water as part of this diet…

      Hilariously enough, it’s really a very basic, boozy ketogenic diet.

      You’ll lose a lot of water-weight in the first few days regardless, as you deplete your glycogen stores; the caffeine, alcohol and lack of carbohydrates should help keep satiety (lack of hunger pangs).

          I’m probably the wrong person to challenge, and an exception to the rule! 😅

          I drink ~4L (a gallon) of fluids daily; half of which is still/sparkling water, the other half being a mixture of coffee, tea, pre-workout, BCAAs, kombucha, soda, booze.

          It was a habit I picked up to help me get used to OMAD when I was cutting weight in the first couple of years of my diet, and is a habit that’s stuck with me since.

          I have to go to the bathroom often - which is a downside, but at least I never get a hangover after a night out drinking!
