Just a question for you Eric. BTW, I love all the stuff you have on here for hydration.

I know a few fighters around the week of their fight will drink nothing but distilled water because they say it helps remove excess waterweight?

Is this true? Is there a more efficient way to drop the water weight?

Yo, couldn’t find CSS, but found another high quality salt (Maldron) which will do for now. Don’t seem to be using the toilet as often so problem appears sorted. Now my co-workers will stop thinking that I have a coke habit!
Thanks Eric.

Our drinking water at work is filtered, so that could explain the lack of TDS. I didn’t find Celtic Sea Salt in the normal supermarkets yet, so I’ll try the speacality health food shops. I’ll let you know how i get on if and when i do. This is ironic as I actually live off the Celtic Sea.

Good article, exspecially about the prescription drugs. My brother works in the medical research field and they get to dump a certain % of their waste down the drain. I work in manufacturing and we also get a certain % we can dump. I drink only filtered pure since I learned this fact and can tell the difference. If you are worried about your water, leave a bit in a cup for a couple of days, the residue will give you a read on how “good” the water is.

Coconut water is pretty good because it has medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) which are a potent source of immediate energy… unlike other fats, you can burn it right away for energy…

Plus, per gram, fat gives you about 9 kcal while carbs give you about 4 kcal, so you get more than double the energy per unit.

Tasty too.

BUT – not gonna make you win the UFC championship!
