The 10 advantages of the wavelength cutting diet

[Fatpanda]

so that's 1300 calories? 

just joking 

if that works for you, fine, but I know that I'll look like an anorexic if I ate like that lol

you do look like an anorexic 

[wavelength]

I think I would look like an Ethiopian if I dieted like you dude, we all have different genetics and different metabolisms, I eat anywhere from 6-10 times a day depending on how long I am awake, I eat whenever I am hungry, I'm a big believer in meal timing, focusing on eating certain foods at certain times, and eating accordingly to my activity level. But if your system is giving you results then keep at it! You look pretty ripped up, but theres alot of people that are ripped and miserable (due to their diet), the goal should be ripped and happy lol..

Have you tried? I thought the same thing once.
Funny enough, this diet has proven to be better in every aspect for me.

I love food too much to try to eat like that, I probably get in 3 meals the same amount of cals that you get in a whole day, but once again we all have different genetics.

 id just like to say that anyone can have ANY kind of genetics that they wish. its just a matter of doing something to get the genetics you wish.

I see. My point is to get a full stomach even on a cutting diet. Since I'm a pig, I need quite some food for that.

you can have a full stomach all day long every day as many meals as you like.... if your getting full on green vegetables.
the problem is you want to get full on 'junk'

LOL you have to give your body a constant source of energy
that must suck eating once a day 
just give up the brownies and eat a couple of meals hahaha
instead of a brownie you could have a cup of rice

About 13. But that's only a guess, I don't count calories.

Adonis principal is to get the right amount of calories, so how are you adhering to it?

Adonis principal is to get the right amount of calories, so how are you adhering to it?

Basic Principles:

- A minimum daily protein intake (approx. 0.5g/lb bodyweight),
- a deficiency of calories which leads to 1-3 lbs of weight loss per week,
- hard weight training at least 3 times a week,
- a variety of food good enough to ensure proper intake of all needed nutrients.

Factors of no, minimal, or even negative influence seem to be:

- the ratio of macro nutrients other than defined by the rules above,
- cardio training,
- abandonment of alcohol,
- intake of "supplements",
- proper spacing of meals during the day.

If those are his principles, from my experience, I agree. Anything else to add or modify, TA?

Those would be all the Adonis Principles!

Add 0.5-1 gram per lb of body weight.
and
Strive for the USRDA- (which you will likely meet and exceed anyways)

The point seems to be that the "right amount" of calories refers to a certain rate of weight change to meet a desired goal at a certain point in time. He did mention some restrictions on cals/lb in other threads, which are unlikely to be undershot with his methods, but that seems to be a side effect and a measure to check if you are doing it right rather than an essential principle. In any case, according to my guess, I'm exactly where I should be.

With "full stomach" I did not mean a stomach full of water, of course.
"Junk" is a term used by masochists.
As I said, I always make sure I also get fruit and veggies in. I love fruit and veggies.

[wavelength]

LOL you have to give your body a constant source of energy

Explain what you mean by "have to", how you want to prove that it is true and whether you actually have proven it.
I think I know the answer to all three questions.
I have emperical "proof", at least for my body.

that must suck eating once a day 

Why? Which of the 10 advantages is not true?

just give up the brownies and eat a couple of meals hahaha
instead of a brownie you could have a cup of rice 

Why on earth would I want to do that?
Maybe I forgot to mention that I'm not a masochist.

[ASJChaotic]

so you get everything in that ONE meal?
ALL of your protein for the day also?
you know that sumo wrestlers eat only 1 meal a day?
eating once a day is really not good for your metabolism

[CHEVEN]

hahahahahahhahahahahhahahahhaha true
probably will
 
but for now I don't I do 
need to get my conditioning spot on

Gironda (at least when he said he was in his best shape) and Nubret ate twice a day.

[ASJChaotic]

Eating once a day is the worst way to try to shed excess pounds. In fact, by eating only once, your body goes into starvation mode and begins to store more of the calories from your meal as fat. Our bodies adapt and will change in order to keep us alive.

It is healthier to eat 4 to 6 healthy mini-meals throughout the day. Your metabolism will actually increase because your body is no longer in “survival mode.” You also provide your body with nutrition and fuel to last the entire day.

Nopes, see first post. It says one big meal and one big protein shake.

Yes, of course, I know the theories (there are several). I'm twice as old as you and have 10 times the training experience. Doesn't mean I know better, but you can be sure I already tried everything you mentioned.

you're 38 years old and have been training for 10 years?
then what is your excuse for not being a big mofo?

I'm close to 36yo and over 10 years of training is correct. Injuries have held me back last year but I have been bigger in the past. I judge methods by the difference in body composition between the starting and the end point of a certain cut or bulk. Granted, my current size is tiny, but relative to the starting point of this cut, I was able to preserve the most mass compared to previous cuts.

I don't, I only go by the rate of weight loss, which is about 1-2lb/week on this diet. I do make sure to get a certain amount of protein in (by adding a big protein shake, as stated in the first post). I also make sure that I get all the healthy stuff in like fruits, veggies, whole grain breads, etc.

well as long as you don't eat too much carbs and fats you can eat whatever junk you like cause all of it will be used up anyway...it's just that when eating junk your portion sizes are much smaller... For breakfast I'd rather have 3/4 cup rice than a tiny piece of cake.

That's also OK but I'd rather eat what I like. On a "clean" diet, I was hungry all the time.

The last pic I would guess around 8%, maybe 7% (that's what I was estimated). My arms and legs are still pretty undefined. I think most people have a misconception about what 5% looks like.
