Yes. Debussey also does this on a fat burning diet most of the time. Often a lot more than 200 actually.

Debussey has done over 400 grams of carbs/day on diets before with very good results (but this amount got somewhat smaller eventually when the calories were lowered).

Post by: The Master on April 17, 2009, 03:55:43 PM
how much protein?

180 - 200 grams/day. On a 2860 calorie fatburning diet, the macronutrient breakdown will be the following:

About 55,94% of calories from carbs = 1600 calories/400 grams.
About 25,17% of calories from protein = 720 calories/180 grams
About 18,81% of calories from fat = 540 calories/60 grams of fat

If calories were to go higher, the macronutrient of choice for adding these would be fat.

This would be the basis for the first 2 - 6 weeks during long term dieting, with a target of loosing about 0,5 kg/1,1 pound per week. For a system like Layne Norton uses (2-4 weeks high calories, 2 weeks of dieting, the numbers would be different).

The results are consistent as fuck, with a long term weight log showing almost a linear weight loss that amounts to 0,5 kg/1,1 pounds per week for the first few months (with very little reduction in strenght or energy, while showing a predictable reduction in bodyfat measured with Jackson and Pollock 3 site) with only minimal reduction of the calories.

This is not necessary a diet for getting on stage though, and it would probably need to be tweaked eventually if the goal was to compete in BB.

Yes! Sneaky nurses and grams of sugah.

In theory, going so hard on HIT cardio for around 15 minutes that you almost puke a couple of times per week on the running track or some road uphill place in the forest = great on a diet (and when not dieting for that matter), and especially if you do sports that require intense conditioning (Layne Norton also does this). This = according to Gary Busey, who favors an extremely systematic and long term approach to dieting and building strength. You avoid that fucking tiredness that can come from long periods of low intensity cardio at the same time, and the improved conditioning crushes whatever crap cardio that can be gained on low intensity cardio. You also learn to deal with physical pain and gain mental toughness on such a program. The determination to finish a HIT workout when your body hurts like hell (and when puking = imminent) faster than the last time you did it = useful in other areas of life. This = almost like training like a special soldier (ala hell week in Bud/S).

Debussey also thinks that doing such training improves your minds ability to function during stressful and physically painful situations, but this = just Debussey's opinion, not something Debussey has checked out research on.

Wavelength doesn't believe in cardio; apparently stuffing your face with doughnuts and sitting in a chair all day will lead to good weight loss as long as there is some caloric deficit.

Debussey agrees with Wavelength here. Might not be optimal, but it will work if your body = not really tricky in regards to fatloss.

Debussey would in theory (since Debussey does not train cardio or diet) not bother with normal low intensity cardio either (Debussey has done experiments on this type of cardio in hypothetical diets while measuring variables like weight and BF while logging the overall energy levels during training, strength levels and energy in other day2day activities), but HIT cardio has so many benefits (while the hypothetical diet data indicates that it works much better on a diet than the low intensity crap, for fatloss and for maintaining a good overall feeling in the gym and other activities) that it should be done anyway, if anything, just for the opportunities to gain mental toughness and superior cardio while NOT fucking up your workouts.

But this is just Debussey's hypothetical experience on itself. For other spermers, it might be different. But low intensity cardio = complete crap for Debussey in Debussey's hypothetical worlds.

Yeah, I am working my way into HIIT. I can't do as much as I like right now because I am just starting but hopefully I will improve. But so far I have to say it is very painful and unpleasant and I hate doing it even though I force myself.

Good work! You should start off easy when doing HIT cardio, ESPECIALLY if you're doing all out sprints on the running track of in steep uphill roads. Initially, your chin bones, and different muscles in your legs might hurt like hell in the days following a HIT session, so do it slowly until your body adapts to the sprints.

It IS very unpleasant, it flat out hurts like hell at times, but that's when it becomes fun because it builds mental toughness when you push past the pain in order to complete your workout as you have planned.

I do high protein, high carb, low fat(mostly just trace fats and some olive oil here and there). When i'm trying to lose fat i do keto though so then when i go back to bulking the carbs are a nice change.

By high carb I mean whilst dieting do you take in more 200 grams of carbs a day?


If you want to cut calories, carbs are the only thing it makes sense to cut.  I mean, why would you cut protein (you wouldn't), and while you can cut fat back some, unless you were eating an unhealthily high amount of it to begin with, that has its limits.

That said, keto levels are not required to lose weight.  You can get 100-120g/day, feel fine, and still lose fat.
