Who gets them? :-\
sometimes im happy, while others sad, depressed etc...
is that "normal"?
-
are you sure you're not just on your period?
-
That's why I like the keto type diets like Dave's. I am MUCH, MUCH more stable mentally on them then I ever was with a carb cycling diet. I got huge up's and down where with this I am much more stable and don't have the same "haze" that I used to get on the low carb days.
-
well yes it is normal... but it can be avoided...if your eating enough protein you shouldnt really have any blood sugar related side effects like "hazyness"..and if you do they should be very shortlived.

In short, can you tell me how protein affects the blood sugar levels?
-
WHATEVER YOU DO. DO NOT TRY ON NEW SHIRTS ON A LOW CARB DAY ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Anyone ever start smelling like rotten fish, after being on a low carb diet for too long? :-[
-

in short, protein provides amino acids to be used for production of glucose, so when blood sugar falls as a result of low carb intake, protein is used to raise blood sugar back up to normal levels.
also, glucogon, which is released in response to amino acid levels in the blood, acts as an antagonist of insulin.

Ok thanks.

I get depressed and short tempered.

Lots of stuff in my head about my preparation, nervous etc.
In the gym everyone seems annoying to me.
I try to combat it though. Sometimes it completely messes my workouts.
im on 150 carbs a day plus 30 from veggies..protein about 300. 2 hours of cardio a day.

You are right.
Eating tons of onion and letus saved me from hunger a lot.
But, you are still dizzy from low blood sugar.
I became like reptile which dont even move its eyes for long moment.

Don't do low carb then, it's completely unnecessary anyway.

But if you do super low carb combined with high intensity cardio,your body shed fat so fast and change everyday.
So, even that pain, you are really looking for seeing your body when you get up. Its so visible and effective.

I think it's different for everybody. For people who can keep their strength up while on low carbs, it will work fine. But there's no scientific evidence that low carb diets will provide better body composition if the rate of weight loss is kept the same via overall caloric restriction, as long as protein intake is high enough.

i had the worst swings...it wasterrible
-
I don't have any mood swings on low carbs, I do however on high carbs.

So you claim, so you claim...

I understand it.
But one thing you take it wrong is that Its not the overall caloric restriction.
Actuarlly, you need to try to eat same amount of calories as the diet before your starting super low carb diet with big amount of protein and few fat. Or even more calories you can take.Its the reason why my diet success this time.

Absolute number of calories was not my point. If you adjust your food intake to maintain a certain rate of weight loss (whatever that means in total "calories"), I don't think it matters if you go low carb or not.
-
Use to be very hard. But it's much easier if you take good amount of raw vegetables, and rally take care of all fats u need (omega 3...) and all non-caloric nutrients. Take care about Iron, Zinc...
I think a multivitamin-mineral is a must on low carb diet, also some coffe ;)
About emotional disaster, maybe is worse when I can't see my abds XD
-

Oh well, it's hard to argue against a monster of ripped muscle such as our asian giant here though.
-
Yep. Short tempered and mood swings.
I'm a part time dieter. Diet threw the week and on weekends eat whatever. I notice when I hit thurs-friday I really hit the wall. Then on sat and sunday I feel a lot better.(junk)
Dieting is tough shit for me. Doubt I could go 8 full weeks of low carbs sanely.
-

Calories are very important, but also hormonal response... Maybe carbs are more dangerouse in order to insuline but also better for healthy liver... It's hard, if not, everybody would be ripped XD

All recent studies I know of show that insulin release patterns have absolutely no effect on body composition whatsoever.
It's not hard to get ripped at all, in fact it's very easy.
-
low carb diets work very well for me. depends, however, on how carb-sensitive YOU are.
make sure you feel full.
eat veggies, take in healthy fats.
but do NOT smack your ho up!

Yes. Agreed. Its how carb-sensitive you are.
I am not so sensitive, thats why i should have done very drastical way.
Paco was saying " I havent seen anybody who did so low carb long time with hard cardio and 100kg squat 30reps ass to the grass!"
OK,I am bragging.. 8)
Aside, some people dont need to do it for getting same result.
-
LOL. ;D
Wahahahahahahah!!!!!! nah! I wish I could be powerful like him.
Joke aside, you cant even understand simple story when you are in super low carb with super training.
And you cant think.
-
Mad props to kyomu again, incredible physique!

did you do HIT cardio in the morning?
-
Haha, wie gehts, alter Eidgenosse?
Yo, yo: Austria in da House!
War in Obergurgl im Skiurlaub. Weltklasse. Besser als in der Schweiz.
Bei Dir auch alles klar?

Do you train any kind of sport? or just weights? Maybe after 3 hours cycling u would be crazy for carbs... Is it also easy for you to be big? Then we have the new Mr.O.
-

Morning I train with Paco almost 2h and half and 30 mins intense cardio.
And work
and come back gym and do some abs 30mins and 30mins of cardio again.
That was hell.

Haha, one could argue that I'm not really an expert in getting big ;D
But getting lean is easy if you just follow some simple rules.

Ok, then "for me it's not easy". And for many people I know, it's hard to follow that rules also. Use to happen that people who grows easily have a hard time getting ripped and the opposite... Just one opinion

you'll be able to have that after your show.

Couldn't someone just take prescription drugs to counteract emotional swings? Xanax, Vikes etc. I mean if they are already taking steroids, why not?
-

I just fainted in front of the screen.. ;D

Well it got easy for me once I realized that most restrictions are unnecessary.
Before that it was hard.

That's probably because you apply too many unnecessary restrictions which makes sticking to the diet virtually impossible for any normal human being.

First of all.
He always makes very strong emphasis that DONT IMPRESS WITH HEAVY WEIGHT.
Each sets goes to failure.
Perform high reps(more than 15) with maximum squeezing as if you are posing.
So automaticaly the weight you handle will go down dramaticaly.
He performs 180kg(4plates each) X20 with that way(squat as if posing) and shouting loud because of failure.
I do the same with 120kg only. And my legs dont look that bad.
One stone and you hunt two birds. Injury free plus maximum growth.
You dont need that much weight for building a pair of decent wheels.

I've been carb cycling for 9-10 months now. Never had a mood swing.
