"You have probably been told that you should drink 8 glasses of water a day. That’s fine if you want to be like everyone else. While dieting for a competition, many bodybuilders will drink from 1 to 3 gallons of water each and every day. Why? Several reasons. Every cellular transaction in your body occurs in the presence of water.
Water is essential for maintaining good health. It flushes both waste and toxins from your body. While on a cutting diet, extra water serves the dual purpose of maintaining a sense of satiety (fullness) while also flushing fat from your system before it can be stored. Every now and then, if I eat something that I’m feeling a little guilty for, I will guzzle a quart of water immediately afterward.
Water dilutes the digestive fluids and accelerates the passage of junk food from your body. Nearly all competitive physique athletes apply this principal during the early phase of contest preparation. You should use it as well while preparing for your own physique goal. How much? Start with what you are comfortable with and work your way up to about a gallon and a half a day. Sure, you’re going to piss a lot. Big deal. You will be keeping your body and kidneys well flushed while taking a major step in reducing excess fat. "
