So questions:


are you saying this diet is just a way to stay lean and ripped OR are you saying it's a way to stay lean and ripped AND put on muscle too? 

Anyone knows that a decreasing caloric intake past caloric expenditure will result in loss of bodyfat...

Both.  I do raise my calories in the fall/winter but that does not mean its necessary for muscle gain. 

Also, you can gain muscle and strength in a caloric defecit of course as long as you are training.

So, i'm guessing the premise that you're backing is that to gain muscle, weight training is all that is necessary? 

Maybe if that's correct, you could gain even more with higher calories?

You can`t force it when you are a Natural.  The truth is, you will not progress very much over time once you have been training for a decent amount of time.  I also have force fed myself to 246 lbs several times, dieting down from there several times and there has been absolutely no real benefit.

I see.   I too am natural..

I thought that when you're calories are higher, your hormones rise, and you become stronger, and therefore can put on more muscle. 

Your diet is interesting.

Hey adonis what happened to your daily posts? 

One question: do you think its necessary to increase protein above 1 gr per lb when on a calorie deficit? A lot of guys do that to maintain more muscle while dieting according to them.

In your case, did you maintain muscle just fine on .5 - 1 gr protein per lb while on a deficit?

Oh man that sounds good.   

[tallgerman]

What is the avg calories ?   How many days a week do you train?  For how many minutes?

Did you ever do roids to get ripped originally? Then maintain?

Do you do sprints or cardio along with lifting?

Is the overal calorie in - calorie out the bottom line?

When you did 246 pound down to 173 did you get lipo to get rid of fat cells?

[tallgerman]

I did the same for 2009, logging everything I ate in a thread.
We sure need more examples of non-masochistic diets.

Great thread, should be a sticky. Would be great if we could get some photos of the foods you cook yourself.

where are the adonis principles and where is the 09 wavelength thread?

Adonis, how do you deal with hunger when not really eating very filling food??

How do you keep yourself from overeating/binging?

How long have you been using this calorie counting method?

How often do you have a high calorie day?

[animal1991]

Also please start posting your diet/workouts again. Would be much appreciated

1. I don`t know what you mean by "filling".  Try eating around the same time each day to take advantage of the hormone Grehlin which will abate your hunger if this is an issue.

2. Count your calories.

3. Years and years.

4. Whenever I feel like it.  Sometimes days in a row, weeks or sometimes not for days or weeks.  Just whenever I want with the trick being more deficit days overall than surplus.  Its quite simple.

Allrighty, I will start posting again on here.


Today I will not eat until 12 noon.  I go 16 hours each day without eating as the benefit of fasting daily is proven to have a great positive impact on health.

I mean for example 400g of sweet potato is much more filling than for example a chocolate bar when they are equal in calories.

So you are doing Intermittent Fasting at the moment? What is your current weight, height and bodyfat percentage?

Maybe you should start I new thread explaining your Adonis Principles so that newer members can also understand it a bit better, and then log your food each day stating your current goal etc... If it is too much trouble I understand!

[The True Adonis]

I don`t agree.

[animal1991]

I don`t agree.

For me personally if I eat 400g potato I would be full for an hour or two, but if I eat a chocolate bar I'm not really full which will lead me to eating more?
