need tips for cutting up

[adam]

I am almost at the end of a body challenge contest and so far I have lost 27 lbs and 6.5" from my waist. I have also put on an inch on my arms.
I feel good about my progress but only have 2 and a half weeks left and need some help.

So far I have been eating 5-7 small meals a day high in protien, good fats, and good carbs. But I need to do something to give me a little extra help because I want to loose another 10-15 lbs. and some more off my mid section.

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

you can try cutting carbs on your off days

how few should I cut them down too?
I weigh 238 lbs and right now I eat a lot of carbs. I don't have an exact count but I try to eat some carbs with each meal.
If I cut them out, should I cut out half this weak and then even more next week. Or Just cut as much as I can right now?

i wouldnt cut them on days you lift. you can cut them down to almost nothing on days where you dont workout but do it gradually

I started to cut carbs on days off and have already lost another 2 lbs.
thanks for the advice.
For the last week should I cut more. I was thinking of cutting them out of all meals after 5 pm. I know I need carbs to keep muscle and energy but I would still like to loose a lot more fat.
Also is there a good way to get rid of water weight for a couple days? I need to take after pics and would like to look as cut as possible.

you can find some supps online that release water, i dont know of any off hand. You can cut the carbs past 5 but get a decent amount in for the day
