sodium, water, preparation-H

After restricting sodium, reducing water, and putting on Preparation-H, what kind of difference do you guys notice in terms of cuts? I mean, precontest bodybuilders are already looking ripped by at least the week before the show; does the water loss really make a dramatic difference?

In other words, how can you tell if you are holding water, or holding fat?

there's probably no super way of measuring that, since your body contains tons of water to begin with. I just assume that, when I'm bulking, water is being stored too. so it doesn't hurt to use diuretics after bulking cuz you definitely stored water.
