Do you have hypertension?

Up goal to 1lb per week Choose leaner cuts of meat Eat plenty of fibrous veggies Pick high volume foods e.g. not peanut butter Don't drink any calories

You have been a little brainwashed by what is "healthy". Yes, it would be great to eat all organic grass fed unicorns but that is expensive. Try not to shop in the "health food" aisle. It's all overpriced unnecessary BS in there. (and quite often even higher in cals than a "normal" option)

rice potatoes eggs pumpkin All cheap around here. meats in bulk on special I think the prepackaged foods in the frozen section are the biggest rip offs personally. Things like crumbed chicken. So much cheaper to buy chicken and breadcrumbs/oats separately and do it yourself.

littlejane: that looks amazing! roo burgers and broccoli

23/9/14 BW 78.4kg lower and upper split between clients. Not doing back extensions anymore, aggravate left hammy. (was minor tear) Everything else went well. Happy to do RDL's again. Used straps so I can focus on the movement and not on gripping the crappy bars (for shoulder safety). Cals 1580 263P/67C/28F EATS roo burgers…

Awesome pics Deevaa. And LOVE the profile pic! bacon, mushroom, brocolli, spinach and fetta egg white scramble japanese curry new favourite protein bar sketti bolognaise (mine on left with slim pasta, gf’s on the right with full carb pasta)

19/9/14 78.6kg Full rest day. Went out for dinner at Sakana, favourite Japanese place around here :) Cals 2191 231P/218C/42F 20/9/14 79.7kg Today was quite active but no formal “training”. Spent a few hours in the morning helping a friend out who was running a bootcamp for an athletics club. Then in the afternoon I did…

Just wondering if you have any bloody sugar or cholesterol issues? I have no problem with the diet if it suits your schedule. My Dad is a type 2 diabetic and started on ADF (I think he is crazy jumping into the hardest ones) and lost some weight (was already healthy weight range) and his blood glucose levels got a bit…

I wouldn't recommend it for a few reasons 1. P&F are essential. Carbs aren't (the body can convert P&F to glucose) 2. Possible fruit fermentation in the gut 3. micronutrient deficiency 4. freelee the banana girl is an idiot 5. your friends/family will think you are nuts HTH

Try this. weigh on scale. Eat 1lb of broccoli (175 cals) Weigh yourself again See how you gained 1lb on the scale. That is definitely not fat gain. So don't worry about the fluctuation. Track the averages over time. (as well as other non scale measures)

aah, so I could use regular cake mix plus egg or egg white then. Thanks

Haven't read every page. Is the angel food cake mix necessary? Never seen this in oz.

your goal weight is unsustainable. 3 of those cardio days should be resistance training And I'd be eating around maintenance which "should" be somewhere around 1650 to 1900 if you don't have some metabolic adaption going on. You may want to increase to this over a few weeks as it is likely that your metabolism is slower…

hit your cal targets daily and consistently. Do some regular exercise. Trust in the process and have patience.

Not everyone trains for aesthetics. Some people just want to do be as strong as possible. This doesn't require regulation of body weight. It is basically bigger is better. Mass moves mass.

It's fake ice cream, it tastes like fake ice cream but it is edible if you are on super low cals and have sweet cravings. I had choc pb and thought it was fine. (I firkin love PB though :laugh:) and yeah, the cals may be slightly understated. Still pretty damn low though.

I like you OP haha I'm a volume eater as well so I prefer to sub lower calorie options all the time. Much more satiating to me which helps to hit the daily goals e.g. 2 nights ago I had 1kg of yoghurt with 80g of casein protein mixed in. The whole thing was 700cals and most people would have issues finishing it :smile: I…

perimeter shopping: coincidence that windex, laundry detergent etc are on the perimeter as are the ice creams, frozen goods etc. I'm sure that theory will work very well.

a general definition would be cutting out random entire food groups for no particular reason. (except hydrogenated trans fats)

If you can do 100 squats then you need to make it harder. Try bulgarian split squats if you don't have a gym membership. Hold a backpack or something if you need more weight.

my "cheat" days are either specific refeeds or I'm doing an eating competition. (these don't usually fit macros :laugh:)

oats are cheaper than any cereal. $1 for 1kg that makes about 20 decent serves. (10 serves for me :smile:)

If you eat a meal with protein in it before training then you will still be digesting the nutrients from this meal for a few hours at least. Therefore, it is even "quicker" than the "quick" liquid protein drink after your workout :wink: And no you don't have to eat every 3 hours or whatever to stay anabolic. 3-4 meals per…

haha well done mate

Mon: lower Tue: upper Thu: full body Sat: circuit training and I randomly plod away on a recumbent bike when I watch tv/youtube to burn extra cals so I can eat more :smile:

definitely short term. Fat gain of 4lbs is unlikely though because it still wouldn't be enough cals. Water weight will likely changed due to sodium and carb increases.

<<<< my artificially sweetened abs say no http://reason.com/blog/2014/09/18/artificial-sweetener-study-bogus-says-am

good luck mate :smile: That is a big burger!
