Wow...I can't imagine a healthy way to dehydrate yourself - especially just to lose weight - and even more especially for an atheltic competition. Dehydration by its very nature is unhealthy as it cuases problems with organ function including your heart, liver and kidneys. Water is life.
I used to wrestle and always hated having to drop a pound or two running in a plastic suit. Made me feel like crap. But if I monitored my weight days ahead of time things went a lot smoother. And I won much more without using this process.
I'm curious to see some research to support your opninion!
