      Last Tkd fast food and only drink water with aminos after working out. Drink 120oz of water per day with small meals then the last day do a dry fast and don’t drink water or food for 24hrs make sure you are active during this day do some minimal bike riding or some swimming or basket ball or light sparring. It’s intense but you will make weight
