1.So you are on keto diet? 2.So high protein and high fat? 3.Then gradually decrease fat?
4.What about cardio? Or just lifting? 5.How low on calories do you go? I am no longer natty obviously so I am curious of giving this a try. I lost 30lbs on 3 months of ECA... but tons of muscle as i was natty... i did keto and i went as low as 1200 cals... i was getting advice from ppl who were non natty obviously lol...
6.Do you have carb refeed days? I stupidly listened to people who told me not to eat carbs what so ever, until all done. I think that was a bad move indeed.
This was like 3+ years ago or so. Haven't done keto or ECA since. Only used ephedrine and caffeine for stimuli pre and intra workout.
7.The 80mg aspirin is the baby one right?
1. Sort of a keto diet, but unlike keto I do not take in high amounts of fats, on a keto people rely on the fat intake for energy, in my case my ECA fuels my workouts comfortably and I slug it out through out the day but after a couple of weeks your body is burning it's own fuel rapidly and you are no longer sluggish.
2. High protein is a must and low fats, like 30-50 grams of fats at most, I eat as much protein as I want, unlimited amounts basically, however the protein can not contain any other macro- nutrients, example-- Chicken breast, egg whites, tilapia fish, cod etc. of these "protein only" foods you can eat as much as you want and still get shredded, but let's face it, it would be nearly impossible to eat a lot of these types of food, your body won't feel like it, so your own body puts a limit to it.
3. I don't decrease fats cause I take less then 50 grams to begin with, my other calories come from protein and although it is a no carb diet I still eat most greens such as broccoli, asparagus, and Romaine lettuce. Most bodybuilders on a ''no carb'' diet do not consider these type of vegetables carbs cause they do not convert to fat,
4. Cardio is up to you. If you have an office job cardio is a must, but if you have a laborious job then I would start cardio at the second half of your diet, for example--- if you start 12 week diet plan, start cardio at week 7. I never recommend someone starts a diet and cardio at the same time, to much of a change usually ends up in someone giving up so I would start my diet then 2 weeks later start cardio at 30 minute -3-4 times per weeks then add 10 min every week til I hit 1 hour, then the following weeks after that add 1 day per week, should look like this;
week 1 dieting cardio
week 2 ---------------------no cardio
week 3 ---------------------3-4 time 30 min
week 4 ---------------------3-4 time 40 min
week 5 ---------------------3-4 time 50 min
week 6 ---------------------3-4 time 1 hour
week 7 ---------------------4-5 time 1 hour
week 8 ---------------------5-6 time 1 hour
week 9 ---------------------6-7 time 1 hour
week 10-------------------- 7 time 1hour
The ^^^ above is for the average person, if you feel you can go harder start your cardio at an hour right of the bat but on no carbs it is very hard.
5. My favorite question and when I prep someone for contest as soon as I tell them this they almost faint
..... "
I don't count calories"I simply eat a lot of protein periodically through out the day, I have 1 serving of green vegetable with every meal and that is all there is to it, you will lose fat every day. The calories from the greens will not harm you and there really is not many total calories there anyway. Now this will surprise you. I will give you a little tip--- 1 gram of chicken breast = 1 calorie at most. So for you to consume 1000 calories you need to eat 1000 grams of chicken breast and that is extremely hard to do in one day. So say you eat 1000 grams of chicken and 6 servings of greens and you eat 30 grams of fat, all this adds up to less then 1700 calories and that is a typical day for me when I start dieting and I start at 250 pounds, so trust me you will lose by using these methods, unlimited protein (cause you can not eat that much of it anyway) 1 serving of vegetables per meal and 30 grams of fat, give or take. Calories are never counted when I follow my rules and every week I drop following these guidelines, all my people never count calories and as long as I guide them weekly they come in peeled and get leaner every week.
6. Now the magic question, when to carb load?. Usually I go no carbs for as long as I can, anywhere from 6-10 days usually. So basically when you are going crazy and can not take it anymore then carb load. The typical carb load is 300 grams of carbs and I don't car where they come from, even sugar, it does not matter cause they will never get the opportunity to get stored, your body is so depleted at this point that you will be a furnace as soon as the go down into your stomach. For me it usually is a huge plate of rice in an early meal, then some potatoes and then some ice cream cause ice cream is very low calories for junk food, as long as I don't past the 300 grams of carbs that day. Then the next day I do an extra 30 minutes of cardio for the guilt to go away
... then it is back to the trenches for 6-10 days
7. Yes the Aspirin is the baby one, it helps with the jitters, but I only take for the pre-workout ECA
^^^ This method could NOT be done without the use of gear
