You plan to diet on 1500 cals and train twice a week? Dude just go back on the chips and booze, don’t bother. The results will both be shit

^This

Just lower carbs to 100g a day. Eat all the natural fats and protein you want. You’ll get lean and retain myscle.

That's pretty much what I'm doing right now.  Mostly chicken and veggies with a little brown rice, so my carbs are under 100 a day.  I'm guessing I'm eating around 1,800 cals or so, but it's not like I'm really counting or anything.  Just eating til I'm full

thats the number i get when i calcuate the numbers.

ive been lower before. no big deal for me. eating more than 150 grams of protein per day is though. especially if you dont drink milk, use protein powder, eat chicken, tuna, sardines and what not.

1500 calories might be a bit low, realistically 1700... today is the first day! so far so good. well its more a mental thing than anything... that you CANT eat what you want... im not even sure that i want to, but the fact that i just cant go grab a burger... thats very un-free-ing (if thats a word)

i measured my waist its about 34"

if u reduce your lifting volume you loose muscle, hence youre back where you started.....

Heres the key, get your body used to doing a certain amount of volume on high calories

Now replace as many calories as possible with protien without cutting calories and maintain 80 to 90 percent of your volume in the gym....you will lose very little muscle maintaining 90% volume

update:

been almost a week on my diet now, i will give myself 3 outta 5 stars. been little low on protein and cheated a little bit and havent been to the gym at all, time for some improvements for next week!

other than that no problems... im probably around 1700 calories per day. just eating one large meal per day is no problem.

i suppose im on some kinda fast if you wanna call it that... i dont eat until lunch and i dont eat after midnight

I have to start soon. I can't outwork my diet anymore.  I mainly blame beer. LOL.  Ripped abs or enjoying life?

My diet was fairly tight but I did indulge here and there, kept my carbs at about 350-400. Started yesterday by just cleaning it up for the next couple of weeks. Like I said, since the end of March I went from 236 to my lowest at the end of Sept to 206 now back up to 218-220 fairly lean. Don't know where I'll compete at but looking somewhere around 202-205.

This was taken yesterday...

COACH, I'd like to recommend that you start tour own topic concerning your contest prep so that these GetBiggers can see the results leading up to your cotest inluding the day of ... and the week following ... with photos.

I'll bet ya a dollar to a doughnut that most all will say that you looked better seven days (that's one week) after your event.

You'll have to put on even more muscle after you lose half of it with you starvation diet.

LOL

When not dieting it's fuck me ive gotten so fat. The next day they start a diet and it's i can't cut calories because ill lose all my muscle lol.

Hasnt this starvatio  shit been debunked enough? It's 2019 FFS, year of the youtube. Normal non juiced to the gills Joe doesnt lose gobs of muscle, just gobs of water and fat.

They're treating morbidly obese with fasting diets because its effective all the way down without killing metabolism.

Galeniko and no_one were on the right track a decade ago and been proven right meanwhile the calorie is a calorie has been proven an utter failure for average joe. Even Jenny Craig dumped the point system because they were all eating 100 points of cake each day lol.

Galeniko recommended carb cycling (a carb up once every 3-4 days) which still seems one of the rarest recommendations. Its always keto this or hclf that. I don't know of any popular system that advocates carb cycling.
