Hi all

just started the below diet on monday which is based on (read as almost identicle) as the diet on the first page.

Meal 1:
5 whole eggs

Meal 2:
Two scoops of whey & two scoops casein with 1 serving of natural peanut butter with water.

Meal 3:
7-8 oz. of lean meat with large bowl of green salad with 1 Tbsp Olive oil and vinegar

Meal 4:
Two scoops of whey & two scoops casein with 1 serving of natural peanut butter with water.

Meal 5:
7-8 oz. lean meat with 50g of almonds or walnuts

Meal 6:
7-8 oz. lean meat with 1 serving of 50g almonds

fatburner 2-3 x daily

plus 5-6 litres of water perday (mainly to wash the damn almonds down)

seem to be dropping weight well:
monday at 8 am before breakfast weighed 14 stone 12.5
tuesday at 8 am before breakfast weighed 14 stone 10
wednesday at 8 am before breakfast weighed 14 stone 8.5

but will see how that works out after a full week.

anyway
in the original post that pscarb posted said to take Clen at 80mcg per day 2 weeks on 2 weeks off...

now this isnt a problem as i ordered some clen and T3 a week back as i was going to use both these compunds with a different diet but decided to try this one instead. clen and T3 is arriving tomorrow

would it be safe to run T3 alonside this diet aswell as clen and fatburners?

if it isnt ill just save the T3 for a later date.

oh BTW im 28, just shy of 6 foot and train 3-4 days gym and have been doing light cardio (i.e 40 min walk) each day. no idea what my BF% is but body fat is around my gut / love handles and to a lesser degree chest. no bingo wings or turkey neck


cheers for your help with this.

Whole foods over shakes.
Id drop the T3 for now.
Try and vary your fats more than peanut butter and olive oil.
Try swapping some salmon for your shakes for some of those.

Very interesting read these stickies (duh, thats why they're stickies!). Anyway, Im wondering, I know from reading up its likely that that the best way to tackle fat burning, is a keto diet or timed carbs. I'm wondering though what the next best option would be?

I dont want to "diet" as such. What I do now or the way I eat now is what I want to be my normal and not something Im going to just to for 6-8 weeks and then change. So Im just reading on different methods etc. Im also not looking for a quick fix. Ive made steady progress over 12 months. Im now thinking of the next 12 months. What can I change in my eating and training habits to keep making progress or better progress?

In my head I have that eating too little with leave me with reduced energy for training and likely lead to muscle loss. Also that BBers generally eat big but loose fat and this is down to carb manipulation.

At the moment, Id say I was eating 90% clean, just a basic sensible approach. Eating P/C/F each meal during the day and my last carbs are generally 6pm. I maybe have 1 or 2 at the most dodgy things during the week. I dont mean stuff like pizza, but things like say a jar of curry sauce or a pasta sauce which has sugar (usually maybe 15g?) though I have these with alot of chicken and maybe a little whole pasta or rice.

So, as I say, Im just wondering about the effectiveness of loosing fat while eating "fairly" clean, cutting out late carbs etc.

Oh, and training wise Im happy. Im doing a 3 day split and 3-4 40min light cardio sessions a week. If anything I think I maybe need to add a couple more cardio sessions in.

keto style diets are not for everyone i only use them when begining my prep or when i need to kickstart other peoples diets....
when i am back in the gym from my surgery i am going to be experimenting with bulking but using a diet that incorperates a meal of Carbs and Protein then Protein and Fats then Carbs and Protein and so on....i am hoping this will allow me to gain weight whilst maintaining a decent condition

cheers for the advice.

roll on saturday and that big pizza

JawD, the Zone diet would be my first pick.
40/30/30
Carbs/protein/fats

I have cut on that and it works well, nothing gets cycled.

Just read this sticky - very useful info in here - thanks guys. I don't want to loose a lot of weight (probably about 14lb), and want to limit muscle loss as much as possible. So, I'm going to do a carb cycling diet rather than keto.

McQueen

could you plz tell me what time i should be having the last meal.Also when this diet was put together where abouts did the workout fit in?



*EDIT*

Would there be any benefit to being on cycle while doing the diet?
