Thanks for being brave enough to post your meals pscarb. Looks like you up the shakes to get your protein in - that's the worry i had.

Some Questions:

How do you personally find your energy levels? I can't have a good workout without eating right that day so it must be hell to train...

How hard have you found it not to let your metabolism go into shutdown/conservation mode?

Lastly, how often are you on timed carbs - all year round?!


Will stock up on me greens, thanks!

just a quick question about this diet, how will it affect your insulin sensitivity, because the way i figure it , less blood sugar spikes = less insulin response = higher sensitivity.
Although i'm probably wrong lol, so could someone please clarify?

hackskii

You are actually right.
But exercise also induces insulin sensitivity, so after a workout you could probably fudge this more than if you didnt exercise, as glycogen stores would be filled PWO.

ah good good i'm now trying to make up for years of eating takeaways and generally being a fatty while i'm still young enough to care. lol

I've found that the only thing i'm missing on this is having oatibix and a shake for breakfast as i was before so for a cleanish carb up today i've just finished at the gym so i'm having 4 oatibix with a bit of lactose free milk and a shake. and maybe an apple . awesome. guess my tastes are changing for the better as i'd rather have this than a big greasy chinese. lol

gents. great info. i was depleting myself from carbs for long cycles and not refeeding properly. i came down from 94 kilo to 84 kilo pretty quick, to quick. half the weight lost was fat but more importantly the other half was muscle. lesson learnt.
I have slowly been carbing up the last month or so and feel in much better shape. my diet is planned for the timed carb approach but im a bit stuck on the good fats. i have flax oil, fish oil, olive oil. is there any others that can be added to help the process.
many thanks.

nuts/nut butters(all natural ones tho). i've heard of udos oil blend but dont know much about it

Pscarb

UDO's is good and many use it i don't because it taste's rank and it is a perfect blend of Omega 3/6/9 so eating any other fats would knock that out....

hackskii

It is ok in orange juice, it floats at the top and the juice chases it down, other than that I cant take it any other way and it does not mix well with anything other than another oil....lol

Awesome article i want to follow this diet to a tee to finally rid my bit of fat that always get back on my stomach.
Does anybody feel like posting up a simple diet for the entire week.
I already have read PSCARBS supa low to no carb day.
Ive read just about every dang thread in here sometime it seems.
This is such a good one maybe someone could post up a weeks worth of the diet and show timing of carb intake befor and or after workout.
Im really struggling with the last little tummy flab and i do not want to lose any power trying to shave it off.
PSCARB you could proably cut and paste it.
Im doing whole body workouts 4 times a week and then next week ill do split perhaps 5 days depending on how i feel.
Cardio is kept fairly short at perhaps 30 to 45 mins .
I just need the entire week put on paper including app. amount of time spent training on the days.
Or just point me to where a sample week diet is
Thank you very very much

I started today basing it on diets ive seen here.
Goes like this:
Monday – Low carbs
Tuesday – Low carbs
Wednesday – Med carbs
Thursday – Low carbs
Friday – Med carbs
Saturday – Low carbs
Sunday – High carbs

High - c 300g+, p 150g, f 50g
Med - c 150g, p 250g, f 75g
Low - c 50g, p 250g, f 100g

Ok my number one question is how do i add in the carbs and how many carbs?
And which foods can i choose from?
I know im ok to add in some befor and after a workout.
Im really really into fruit peaches, plums,
Ive been working really hard to get rid of this post cycle tummy that crept up on me so im down 7 pounds already but some of it is muscle no doubt.

So this morning i had two pork chops for brekky i know pork is not the best ...
Then ill have several eggs and full fatt cottage cheese.
Then leafy salad with oil dressing.
Then id like to get ready for a workout so ???

darkstar

I should start my own thread please feel free to move me.
Im already seeing all my favorite beverages are out i drink a half a gallon of orange juice daily.
Geeese nothing but water so far.
And only 5 hours into it i already eaten 5 pork chops and a bunch of swiss cheese yet im starving .
I suppose last night counts as well nothing but chicken strips ,lot of umm, and leafy greens.

Hi i am new to this board but not new to bodybuilding as such, I have read through the Timed Carbs post, posted by pscarb and its absolutely awesome and makes alot of sense although i have one question..... Do you include the carbs/protein/fat of your post workout shake as your daily allowance ? For example i am using a 50/40/10 fat/protein/carbs split. I have worked out at my bodyweight that i should not be exceeding 68g of carbs per day .... but in the original post it is suggested the post workout shake to contain 65 - 100g of fast liquid carbs. Would the post workout shake be my entire source of carbs for the day ?

Thanks

hi, ok so with the timed carb diet, every meal must be carb free apart from PWO (i understand that) so every meal during the day must only contain protein & efa's. would i still be eating 6 times a day, is it right saying that every meal would contain just either tuna,chicken,turkey, beef steak,olives, olive oil,flax seed oil & oil fish, what other foods can i get fats from?

cheers, Anthony
