Getting water back in your body isn't the same as all the tissues of your body being rehydrated. I agree, you lost a lot FAST. I hope you are feeling better.

I think he got sick because he was dehydrated and underglycogenated. Sure, the dandelion dehydrated him, that's what he was using it for, but any diuretic would've done the same thing. I have used dandelion before track meets before (national sprint team) and never felt bad, nor did any of my team mates. Diuretics were not in the rules, so herbal diuretics were all we could use. Generally, if we felt like crap, it was because we lost too much too fast and couldn't recover....and he did lose hella fast.

This would be kind of like saying it's not a good idea to eat pizza because it made you nauseated and too full, when in reality, any food eaten in a high quantity would've made you feel full and nauseated, pizza or not...you just happened to eat pizza when it happened.

Am I making sense?

why was he using diuretics? to make weight?

Guys

We should all chip in something. I am a dirt poor grad student and if I can come up with something so can you. Think of all he does for everyone with never a thought of anything in return. This is your chance to make a difference and thank him back.

He is a champion and a friend.

yea i was hydrated b/c i drank water all night long and the next morning. i may have been underglycogenated but i think it was just b/c i lost so much so fast. i didnt even drink the recomended dose so i didnt think i'd lose much but i lost 9lbs in one night. i think it was just too much too fast for me.

I know the feeling!!!!

i drank the dandelion tea so i could shed a few lbs to make the 175lb class,,,,just shed a few more than i expected in such a short period of time.

I think that the medley was just THAT HARD!!!! Especially for a 173 pound guy. Try doing ANYTHING that intense for 1 minute and 14.35 seconds and see if you don't feel like 100 yards of chewed up bubble gum...

No need to set up the fund everyone...like I said before. If you take care of your competitors they will take care of you next time.
