This fucking diet is driving me fuckin nuts. Jeezus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If all else fails, he must go back to the Source. Go to the nearest inner city liquor store, or find a brotha fresh fom Jail, and asked about "how to be one with Epic Leans and Malt liquor". The journey will be dangerous, you must go thru rigorous playground training, incorporating slow and fast muscle up movements (using slow and fast twitch muscles). But you will be rewarded, because it all begins at The Source. Where all things begins.

This is week two of my diet.  Last week I did a low/no carb thing and of course had zero energy.  By Sunday night I just wanted to quit.  As a cheat meal I had 3 grab bags of 3rd degree hot Doritos (Hot as fuck and great tasting).

I decided I didn't want to diet on no carbs.  So Monday I reintroduced carbs and am doing better.  I started out at 258 lbs on Mar 8.  As of This morning Mar 17th I was 253lbs a 5lb loss in 10 days with carbs still in me. Not too bad.  I had my bodyfat tested yesterday morning I was 254lbs at 26.5% bf.  I told my coach my goal was 10% bf.  That would put me at 207 lbs and I'd be in incredible shape.

Based on that my Basal Metabolic Rate or BMR is 2201.6 calories.  This is the amount of calories I'd burn if I never got out of bed. My Total Daily Energy Expenditure or TDEE is 3412 calories.  Meaning the amount of calories i burn based on my lifestyle.  So he is having me to eat 2900 calories to lose weight.  I'm going a little lower to 2730 to eat less food.  I'm not a big eater.  I'm eating 326 g of protein 253 g of carbs and 64 g of fats.  I drink two protein shakes a day as meal replacements and have a maltodextrin carb shake post workout with 50 g of carbs.  I don't eat any carbs within 3 hours of sleep even if it means deviating from the diet.

I do cardio 2 x per day.  45 min in the morning prior to eating and 30 min after workout.  I also do ECA 3 x per day 25 mg ephedrine, 200 mg caffine and 80 mg asprine.  I'm on 50 mcg of t-3 and will ramp that up to 150 mcg of t-3 over the course of 8 weeks.  I've never had any problem with losing muscle from t-3.  I will swtich from ECA to clen around the 6 week point to change things up.  No juice, no GH.

I just want to eat some fucking chips and sleep....FUUCCCCCCCCCCCC CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC CCCCKKKKK THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCK.. .
It's either this or continue to be fat.
Time for meal three

whining people everywhere...

How does T3 work? Never heard of it.

Simply put, T3 is a hormone produced by your Thyroid gland.  It helps regulate your body's metabolism, mostly by affecting your body temp.

Using it can mess your your own gland's ability to produce the hormone.  Plus, who wants to feel like they have a fever all the time?

haha, yes the "supplement consierge."

If a person's glycogen stored are already filled...And that person were to eat 300 grams of carbs in one sitting..More than likely most will be stored as fat..

This is what the human body does. it want's to survive through times of famine..

Even if it would store some fat temporarily, it would release is that same day. And some more.

[wavelength]

wiggs that is an article, not a study. Also my study was a review discussing findings from lots of studies on dnl - so in effect it was more like me posting lots of studies backing up what i said rather than one.

gary taubes believes that calories do not matter - so he is a fool and should be disregarded.

in every metabolic ward study  ( everything eaten is prepared and counted - so the results are accurate) done - of which there are around 45. All show that its calories from fats/carbs that dictate fat loss. High fat or high carb it didn't matter. calories were always king.

i believe there is health benefits from eating lower carbs, but strictly speaking of fat loss - calories are all that matter.

regardless, i hope you find something that suits your lifestyle and lose the fat you want.

if you have any other questions feel free to ask.

You don't happen to have a list of references for those 45 studies?

For all of getbigs enquiring minds :

Metabolic ward studies represent the only truly controlled examination of weight loss diets varying in macronutrient ratios but equal in calories. As such, they deserve far greater attention than they have received to date.

What follows is a list of each of the metabolic ward trials comparing isocaloric diets of differing macronutrient composition.

This table lists the results of various metabolic ward studies, most lasting 3 weeks or more. Studies lasting only a week or two offer little information of value regarding longer-term weight reduction as their results are often swayed by water loss (low-carbohydrate diets commonly result in greater initial water loss, but this effect is transient) and have therefore been excluded. ( these make up the rest of the 40+ studies i mentioned.)

The arguement is over excess carbs yet staying under your daily caloric intake.

its IMPOSSIBLE to have an excess carbs if your UNDER your daily calorie intake.

[rockyfortune]

ok...after reading some shit last night suggested by posters..i'm agreeing with tbombz...how in the world can you get fat off of too many carbs if you aren't surpassing your baseline caloric intake? 


markos says if your glycogen stores are full..and then someone downs 300 grams of carbs then it'll get stored as fat...i agree with this..but i don't believe it has anything to do with glycogen stores..just total calories ingested throughout the day...if your stores are full is it safe to assume that you have ingested the total amount of calories needed for your size body? if it is..then adding an additional 1200 calories by swallowing 300 grams of carbs would put your body into positive caloric intake resulting in weight gain. no?

[No Patience]

exactly...i don't understand why people worry about storage in a deficit

it is also pointless to worrry about doing cardio in a fasted state when in a daily deficit....it is about
total daily expenditure vs daily caloric intake, not trying to burn fat DURING the actual exercise bout...

[No Patience]

Even if it would store some fat temporarily, it would release is that same day. And some more.

yeah...their lives would be so much easier if they would just listen to your principals

i have lost 3.1% bodyfat since January following your guidlines...and that happened easier
than ever before...i have also continued to make minimal strenght gains, plenty of energy,
and i eat whatever the fuck i want....i also drink a few beers every weekend, had ice cream
and pizza last night, etc etc

[lvtolft]

Seriously, I am still confused as to how people make this sooooo fucking complicated!
Especially anyone above 20% bodyfat should not concern themselves with all the minute details of macro/micro nutrients, etc.
It is just a recipe for failure.

Even at 8-10%, the same things work just as well. The only thing you will probably have to reduce is the rate of weight loss in order not to lose too much muscle.

Thanks man!

What point is there to an extreme diet? Seems like a lifestyle change would make more sense in the long run.
