Sodium loading before a show

[nmk85roll]

how soon before a show should one stop sodium loading and cut out all sodium?

You start carb deplete the Saturday before your show.

The Sunday before is when sodium loading starts, and goes until Tuesday. Water consumption will be at it's highest these days. You should have been eating salt on your food throughout. Wednesday you eat normal, and Thursday taper. Friday none.

You cut sodium when you cut your water.
