My 10-day fat-loss experiment

[dj181]

Allright fellas, I'm gonna run a 10-day fat-loss experiment, starting either tomorrow or on Monday, that way I will get it over with before New Years Eve So my plan is it hit a hard cardio session upon waking and another after my last meal. These hard cardio sessions will be at or near AT (aerobic-anaerobic threshold pace) for 20 to 30 min a pop, and I will eat just 2 meals a day, breakfast and dinner. I will keep my total cals at about 800 a day, and keep my carb grams at about 80 grams per day. I will take before and after measurements of my waist and before and after skinfolds of my abs and ilium. Also, my stationary bike has a digital bodyfat reading by hand sensors, so I will use that to give a reading of before and after progress. The bodyfat reading from the bike isn't accurate since it gives too high of a reading, but it can still be used to assess body comp changes.

Looks tough, you will probably lose muscle from this crash dieting and intense aerobics = muscle loss. Depends on your goals.

Well, I did it for 14 days so years ago, and it was even more extreme, being that I limited carb intake to around 40 grams daily. And yeah, I was a complete zombie after the 4th or 5th day, but I did cut my bf % from 12 to 7.5 in those 14 days I was messing around with carbs earlier this year, and I couldn't handle 40 grams this time around, coz it gave me blurry and double vision, but 80 grams was tolarable.

[dj181]

I hear ya Mr. Nobody, but when I did it some years ago I only lost 1 pound lean and 8 pounds fat, so that's a sacrifice I can take. Plus, after it's over, it's easier for me to stay lean coz of the motivation it gives me. I don't know why, but I my experience it's much easier for me to make quality progress once I'm relatively lean. By quality progress I mean gaining LBW, without adding much fat. Again I think it comes from the motivation of looking good. 

[spude]

You take any illegal supps, dude?

[dj181]

No man, I guess that the only "drug" that I will use will be black coffee.

Ok, true natural,rare species...How much you gonna lose...weight/inches/bf...

[newmom]

Good luck DJ, that's the amount of calories I do for 14 days before a big run. It can be done, but it's tough for sure

[Wiggs]

I'm on day two of only 50 carbs and I'm not too fucking happy about it and I'm dizzy and have a headache...

[Mr Nobody]

Damn 800 calories is nothing, I just ate that much in a meal. :/

Pizza Hut? You are still a youngster metabolism is reigning supreme plus running after hoes. 

[dj181]

I hear ya Wiggs, I got blurry and double-vision after 3 day on 40 grams a day. And Spude, I'm not sure how it will be this time around, but I'm hoping to drop at least 3% bodyfat, and I'm hoping to lose at least 3 inches off of my fat and bloated belly.

[dj181]

Ok, I got the diet mapped out, and it will be as follows: BREAKFAST: 1. Black Coffee 2. 75 grams of chesse (sorry, not sure how many grams are in an ounce) 3. 250 ml of Red Bull (again, I'm in europe now, and they don't use ounces here) DINNER: 1. 1 large chicken breast (roughly 6 ounces I think) 2. A half a liter of 2% milk TOTALS: Cals: 854 Pro: 87gr Carb: 56gr

[Mr Nobody]

Nah man just some rice and minced beef miced mixed with onions (fried), large portion.. I try to eat a lot before my workouts and one big meal afterwards with 3 protein shakes every day.. and I try to keep it at maximum 2000 calories when I'm not working out... XD no pizza hut for me

Nice, what kind of of protein you using?

[Mr Nobody]

This one, Mr.Nobody approved

Not bad. Seems to be working for you by your pics you are improved. Waiting on Goodrum to chime in to offer his products. 

[dj181]

And here's my stats: Waist: 34 inches % bf: 15.8 Ab skinfold: 20 mm Ilium skinfold: 14 mm

[dj181]

Thanks X, it ain't gonna be easy, but I think that I will be able to make it through just 10 days of torture

[TRIX]

You'd probably better off consuming just whey protein isolate shakes. Add some ice and shake, make it creamy. 200 or so grams of protein. Each shake 20 - 30 grams. Chew on some sugarfree gum, or celeri in between shakes

[dj181]

Thanks for the tip TRIX, the key will be to see if I can handle 50 some carb grams daily. This should be interesting to say the least.

[SgtSpar]

but I did cut my bf % from 12 to 7.5 in those 14 days

No you didn't.

[newmom]

No you didn't.

[Stavios]

I can go zero carbs for ever and I am not less energic than when I go 400gr of carbs

I just look like shit to

[dj181]

But the thing is, this isn't just a lo-carb diet plan, it is also very lo-cal. Not more than 900 total cals per day.

[ManBearPig...]

can you do daily scale weight posts?

[dj181]

I thought about a 5-day update, or maybe even an every 3-days update. P.S. I will probably be posting some fvcked up bullshit after 3 to 4 days into thing, do to massive brain drain lol Today is day one, and of course I'm feeling fine, but I can't say that it will be the same after a few more days I'm not gonna lift any weights during this 10 day period, but I will at least do 2 30-min daily bouts of AT, and maybe even 3 times daily, if I can handle it. I just came back from the supp shop, seeing if they had any ECA (remember, I'm in poland) but it's not legal here either, so I gotta rely on strong black coffee I guess.
