I'm a true adonis, wavelength Disciple, but since Monday I've been keeping it under 10g carbs per day for the first time.
I'm not getting hungry at all, I feel just as strong (going on four days), feel good all around. Not as tired in the mornings either. I've lost a shitload of water weight.
This seems to be making cutting very, very easy.

low/no carb your diet TILL YOUR BODY TELLS YOU TO REFEED....DON'T SCHEDULE REFEEDS
trust me- you will know when your body needs carbs
when that day comes, just eat cereal and bread all day
-
Good luck. Check back in a week from now cheif
-
thanks brahs, i'll let you know how it goes.
This shit is sooooo easy!

just remember- Vegetables DO NOT count so you can have as much celery, lettuce, spinach, etc as you want
-
What johnny doesn't mention here is that your stomac shrinks with low carbing like that, so don't go crazy with the carbing up when the day comes because you can't almost breath, and your training will suck ass after that because your blood sugar will be very unstable.
Secondly, the "carb up" is only to restore your mental health ;D, but if you can go on with that, then do it, the insane pig fest is not necessary, it's only "for the treat/reward" of your strong willpower of not eating carbs. But what are you, a child?
Secondly, eating a little carbs keeps your blood sugar stable day in and day out so it's only natural to feel more energetic overall.
welcome to the endless circulation of information about low carbing :D

oh, also remember that "Good Fats" are now your primary energy source

Thanks, Yeah I had a gigantic bowl of french cut green beans with onions (cooked in lard) last night.
-

With low carbing it's also essential to keep the same kind of training schedule, when you wake up, go to work, go to the gym after work etc.
But you said you've been going on for 4 days. I think after 2 weeks you will have to be precise with the schedule because you will start losing hard fat :P
-
also throw a eca stack in the mix to aid in fat loss. ;D

And how exactly do you keep under 10 grms of carbs a day when eating anything you like?
-

Eggs, Fatty Fish, Fatty Meat, Green salads with tons of olive oil, Nuts(The carbs they contain are mostly fiber so they don't count)
Don't go down the "unlimited cheese and pounds of bacon" route. That isn't what Keto is all about.
You need the right fats

I was refering to the original poster....the "thing" he does is called a "ketogenic diet" not "true adonis/wavelength principles"..

Eating anything I like that has no, or very low carbs.

I think many people won't last too long on a very low carb diet. I tried for a pretty long period of time but I came to the conclusion that I love carbs too much.

I agree with this
it's easy to do a 12-16 week diet on low carbs but few are able to hold on to those results
Not saying that it isn't possible to maintain those results....a person has to realize that they will have to develop parity in their maintainance "diet" where they satisfy the bodies needs for carbs

Yes it sucks. Putting yourself in a torture for 14 weeks.. only to look bloated, fat and unhealthy a week after the "journey" ::) has finished. ::) :D

Well since I moved out of the house I find my self staying much leaner overall because I can't cook for shit. So I just eat egg omlets, protein curds, fruits and vegetables and brown bread... sometimes I go and grab food from my mom or order a pizza but that's it. I'm constantly hungry.

Going on day five, still dropping lbs. and feeling good!
Had homemade chicken soup yesterday. ;D
Stronger this week than last week.
Can the lack of carbs cause a loss in vascularity? Seem like I can't feel the veins in my arms as prominently today?
-
Quick question - are you counting calories on this, or just avoiding carbs?
As for the veins, I always read that these can leave you feeling flat.

I usually always keep track of my daily protein, and calories on Excel. This week though, I've just made sure to keep carbs under about 10g. I'm pretty sure that I'm not eating over 2500 calories a day, but I'm also not keeping track.
-
Dinner yesterday, really good.
Our Wendy's uses the best pickles, lettuce, onions...

Its normal...if youre keeping you strength and dropping lbs...youre losing fat. Youre on track.
Have a cheat meal every now and then..

Theres a site called www.fitday.com where you can track your calories as well. I went on it recently and saw what I was eating like 5 years ago. lol

I ate like a pig over the weekend, and gained 7 pounds of water, shit, and maybe some fat.
I weighed myself today and I've already shed all that water and fat. I'm back down to what I weighted before the weekend.
This seems to be working really well, I'm easily under 15 carbs per day. Not hungry at all, still getting stronger, losing fat quick.
I also seem to be recovering better than ever, not sure if that's related?

I never understood how guys gain so many pounds when eating like shit...does water being consumed during those days plays a role?
Im not eating THAT clean every day...but I have my shit days too and Im never over 1-1,5 pounds overnight..Ive heard guys going over 20 pounds wtf...

I have no idea, but Saturday morning I weighted 199 (no clothing/shoes), Monday morning I weighted 206 (again, no clothing/shoes). Fucked up, life time natural, completely drug free (no creatine even) and all so I don't know what the deal is.
I probably literally ate at least 6k calories on Saturday and Sunday though. Not doing that shit again this weekend.

I think it's more to do if you're in a carb depleted state. If you're eating regular, then have a shit day, I don't think you see the dramatic change.

after the contest of my friend, after 2 weeks, he put on 40lbs. he was an absolute BEAST, did you read about the rebound that gh15 talked? he said to grow more, get shredded then eat like a mad man and that was the way to get new muscle mass

How to lose fat VERY easily without effecting your training progress negatively =
1. Just Train and don't lose your dead end job so that you can only afford practical food (eggs, veggies, fruits, protein curds, brown bread and milk)
2. And then just kill your entire family so that you can't go to anyones home to eat great food
3. Be a self worshiping douchebag to avoid any kind of relationships and thereoff avoid----> more extra food.
In this way, you train hard because that's the only thing you have going on in your life, you have no place to go so you have to work alot to get "extra" money for your bills and ofcourse you never have a woman to share affection with -----> You are like Jury Boyka, a focused and dedicated pure athlete. Metabolism is constantly active, you are constantly a little angry because your test levels are allways as high as you can have them, and you are constantly in good shape (looks and capability wise)
Way too easy. You heard it from me.

DERRrrrr ;D
It's just that everyone is looking for the easy way out, everyone wants some sort of automated system to get results without having to "be a tough guy and force ones self to do stuff that noone cares to do", but as selfish as people are they STILL want to get the results.
There are no easy way out. People who have no discipline need certain programs that prisons them so that they can't just quit, you know. It's ridiculous.
Even floyd mayweather said that he fucking hates getting hit, that why would anyone enjoy getting hit and brag about it and have a face that looks like it's been attacked by killer bees, why would anyone get self satisfaction from that kind of shit. He said that he just wants the best team in the world to get the job done the best way possible without having to sink in that red neck rocky balboa crap. The man is in robot mode.
Not many people can do things as they are meant to be done without some sort of whip behind them.

Low carbs (for me under 150g :D ) messes me up mentally. I feel depressed and like a zombie. So I never go under 150g or so.

Interesting article.
Do you count carbs in beans?

I'm down 8 pounds, it's been about two weeks.
Going to pig out again this weekend, just like last weekend.
I purchased Ketostix, they come out to 40mg/dl.
This shit is working, so well. I'm strong as ever, still gaining strength I think.
Also, I had some old schmoe at my gym tell me that this diet would give me diabetes or insulin resistance or something? I don't understand that? Bullshit? ???

the fastest way to get shredded, only reserved for toughest out there and you flattened out big time so if you can handle the psychological effects of being flat, thengood, but remember being flat doesn't mean losing muscle, it only means you have no glycogen in the muscle. Now when you eat 5 pounds of rice in one day once you are shredded you literaly double in size in 24 hours. Try it

Low carb has worked for me. I've been dieting since January of this year (its been almost a year now, hard to believe!) and have managed to stay pretty lean all year long. I go through periods where I will go a month without cheating, and then sometimes I will cheat once a week, etc.
I feel better when on the diet than when off of the diet. It's those first few days of going onto the diet that are difficult for me. Once I'm on it, it becomes much easier.
oh brother youve been dieting since january is there a special girl you are trying to attain

My first show in 2007, I was so depleted and shrunk enormously but I had 2%bodyfat (checked with calipers).Friday night to saturday morning I lost 10 pounds of water on some heavy lasix, couldnt sleep cause was pissing every twenty min. Anyway my final weight saturday morning was 184 and the following wed night I was 220, never could match that conditioning to this day.

Hey, thanks for this!
I'm carbing up tomorrow like I did last Saturday. I'm excited as fuckkkkkkkkkkkk!

Ya, your right, it was 10% ::)

Spot on post. And getting lean is just a part of the equation, staying lean is where it's at, which basically means that you need to find something that works for you that you can stick with long-term.

well considering my training went upside down because of a 3 months lay off from any lower body training due to a car hitting me while driving a bicycle, I'm doing ok, but I'm not the same, slowly coming back.

Drink a shit load of water and watch yourself go mental wondering why the color doesn't show you are in ketosis. All those sticks do is measure the concentration of ketones in urine. So, if you are under 30gm of carbs, you most assuredly should be in ketosis.
Also, The carb up is way more than just a psychological thing....read what Lyle McDonald has written about ketogenic diets.....the refeed has positive effects on thyroid, leptin, as well as the ability to load more glycogen next time around.
The day after I do my carb up....the workouts are AWESOME. Hell of a pump...the fullness is great....the strength is great.

Whos fault was it? Damn man, is everything ok now?
-
Ya, your right, it was 10% ::)
I think the point is that you would be dead at 2% BF. 3.5-4% is possible for a short period of time.
-
Whos fault was it? Damn man, is everything ok now?
It was the drivers fault, it's all cool, I got everything paid through her traffic insurance, and she was truly sory I could see that so I didn't prosecute her or anything. But I did get 400 euros compensation just awhile ago actually even though I really didn't prosecute her.
both knees got bone fracture, knees insides are ok... I can train and all but I'm still cautious.

Thanks for the info! Looking up Lyle McDonald now. I do back after my carb up day, lat pull down was my first exercise. I was easily going 20 pounds heavier than usual.
Like I said before, I'm an Adonis/Wavelength disciple, but this shit is working out amazingly. I believe I'm actually growing, and thickening muscles big time, while loosing fat!

Very simple, just get your daily protein, 1 to 1.5 grams per pound of lean body mass. Eat anything you want, and adjust calories to gain, lose, or maintain weight.

Shit is still working, I'm down about 12 pounds.
Stronger than ever before.
Not stopping till I hit 185.

What is your training like? carb up on sat-sun? 5 low, 2 high carb days?
-
low/no carb your diet TILL YOUR BODY TELLS YOU TO REFEED....DON'T SCHEDULE REFEEDS
trust me- you will know when your body needs carbs
when that day comes, just eat cereal and bread all day
i agree with this except for the last part. just eat a little fruit and some high glucose containing foods to replenish your muscle and liver glycogen stores. you generally get the carb cravings from having low liver glycogen levels, fructose from fruits/veggies will refill these so eating an apple will make you feel better, though still weak when it comes to lifts if you dont replenish your muscle glycogen stores, which fructose will not do
no carb has the benefit of increasing insulin sensitivity to astronomical levels which in turn increases anabolism to a severe degree as muscle cells soak up nutrients like a sponge but there is a dilemma with this as you have no insulin secretion without carbs and reintroducing carbs will lower your insulin sensitivity, so its like taking 2 steps forward to take 1 step backwards. however, there are ways to get insulin into your blood stream without eating carbs in order to take advantage of the increased nutrient partitioning in this state and it is something a lot of bodybuilders have done, though it is an extremely easy way to kill yourself and i'm sure most people can imagine what i'm talking about
-
What is your training like? carb up on sat-sun? 5 low, 2 high carb days?
Yes!
I'm doing my best to eat zero carbs through the week. I imagine I'm probably actually consuming around 8 or 10g's a day. I eat till I'm satisfied, 6 whole eggs every morning, two pieces of bacon. Lots of chicken, turkey burgers, hamburgers, etc.
Completely satisfying. For the last two weekends I've got absolutely crazy. Last Saturday I ate two family sized casserole dishes of Chicken Parmesan (the frozen kind you bake). They each had about 1250 calories, and around 600g carbs.
I don't cheat at all through the week, and don't eat any carbs until Saturday morning, I go zero carb again starting monday morning.

I started dieting on April 11th. for 3 contests this year.........ate whatever I wanted for a few days after each show, and now my last one is looming close (Nov. 12th.).
I had let my body go over the last 3-4 years..............train ed half heartedly 3 X a week, and did no cardio.
Worst thing was I ate tons of crap,subs,desserts,pizza,lots of burgers,chips,and just plain old junk..............and no cadio at all.
As a result,my waist went from 32 to36 inches,then my doctor changed my anti-depressant meds and my waist went to a fucking whopping 39 inches.
Win,lose,draw,or last place I could care less,I look like my old self again........high protein,low carbs,low fat,training balls to the wall.
Adam is my friend,as is Wave.................muc h respect for both guys as well as their physiques but they can keep their fancy a "calorie is a calorie: fucking diets!! ;D

Completely satisfying. For the last two weekends I've got absolutely crazy. Last Saturday I ate two family sized casserole dishes of Chicken Parmesan (the frozen kind you bake). They each had about 1250 calories, and around 600g carbs.
I don't cheat at all through the week, and don't eat any carbs until Saturday morning, I go zero carb again starting monday morning.
This seems to be something that really varies from person to person. Some people feel greet on super lower carbs while others such as me feel like absolute crap and the workouts go to hell :D.
Good to hear that things are working well for you.
How many days per week are you training? Are you training on any of the carb up days?

Thanks, I tried the keto diet (To a T) about two years ago, and it drove me crazy within three days. I'm not sure what the difference is now.
I train one body part per day, Monday thru Friday. 6 to 8 reps generally. No training on the weekend, eating like a monster.
I wouldn't generally even post shit like this, but I wanted to share the awesome results with anyone that might find it useful.

i do 6 low carb ( almost zero), pig out on sundays..works good for me
So cool, wish I'd tried this sooner.
I've been trying forever to get lean. Been a little successful, but I think this is going to be the key to getting good abs and stuff.

Have you thought about training on one of your carb up days? I think that could be beneficial as you would be stronger from the carbs and be able drive calories into the muscles you have trained.

Yeah, many different diets seem to work. You need to find they diet you can stick to.

Nice cut/paste with slight modifications.
cut and paste from where? what are you talking about

Coming in late here but make sure you have carb up days and don't eat too many carbs on them. Basically what JNN said, but i don't think you should only have them once a week or something, i would go once every 3rd or 4th day. You will lose the weight easy doing this.

I started dieting on April 11th. for 3 contests this year.........ate whatever I wanted for a few days after each show, and now my last one is looming close (Nov. 12th.).
I had let my body go over the last 3-4 years..............train ed half heartedly 3 X a week, and did no cardio.
Worst thing was I ate tons of crap,subs,desserts,pizza,lots of burgers,chips,and just plain old junk..............and no cadio at all.
As a result,my waist went from 32 to36 inches,then my doctor changed my anti-depressant meds and my waist went to a fucking whopping 39 inches.
Win,lose,draw,or last place I could care less,I look like my old self again........high protein,low carbs,low fat,training balls to the wall.
Adam is my friend,as is Wave.................muc h respect for both guys as well as their physiques but they can keep their fancy a "calorie is a calorie: fucking diets!! ;D
Is this the crap you're talking about?
