lowest ever is about 1000. I make sure I make up for it the next day as I work on weekly averages.

Very well said. I particularly like the stay active method. If I'm drinking, I'm typically active as well. At bbq's, I love to play Frisbee, do handstands etc. if going out at night, dance up a storm :smile:

Trust me when I say, you don't just wake up with one one day. The best exercise you can do is not putting too much food in your mouth.

Totally. Miserable! Just got to get through it. I don't know how anyone does it long term. I've never made it more than 2 weeks. But yeah, that was my first day on it on Monday for gym. Total cals before workout would have been about 300 less than normal so not a great deal for me.

As I said, it's 5 low days at a time. Yes, I can tell you that it definitely affected my lifts and energy levels in general. Hence, why I stick to lower fat, higher carbs wherever possible. Yes, it's true that some people "may" perform better on lchf diets and I think people should experiment objectively. And tennisdude,…

5 days at a time. Lyle McDonald's ud2.

Volek got smoked by Alan aragon at a conference last year. Taubes is coming up soon.

Yeah Nah. Correlation =/= causation. I thought we had already worked out that calorie deficit matters. Low carb vs low fat is personal preference depending on health and activity levels. I did low carb yesterday, trained and was literally falling asleep between sets. The week earlier I was still making pbs on 5/3/1.…

1/9/14 BW 78.4kg (yes, new low after KFC and cheesecake last night :)) I think my habitual sodium intake is actually less than KFC use haha. Today marks the first day of low carbing for me. This workout was TOUGH! I had eaten about 25g of carbs all day. Purpose of this workout is to deplete glycogen stores to promote fat…

Just added recipe to my website :smile: http://cdnutritionandfitness.com/cookies-and-cream-protein-cheesecake-no-bake-27p12c6f/

If your ticker is current, the site is vastly underestimating your maintenance cals. Or alternatively, you are grossly underestimating your actual intake. As an example, my current intake averaged 2300 last week (the lowest yet) and I weight 173lbs. Strength 4x a week, ridiculously slow LISS on a bike while I watch TV.

These are my options: eat less move more take a diet break

don't forget low fat dairy drink lots and yes, 1200 may not be appropriate for you. Whenever I go that low (very rarely and for very short time periods) I do just eat protein and veg as all I'm focused on is getting enough protein (while being in a large deficit) to maintain LBM.

Yep. He goes on to say that you get used to it after a few cycles of low carb dieting. (except he is talking days not weeks)

From Lyle McDonald, author of the ketogenic diet book. If you are insulin resistant, lower carbs can be beneficial. Also, if you are quite sedentary.

5lb KB is pointless. You may as well use your handbag.

2 weeks out from my first BB comp. Flexible dieting FTMFW! S&P calamari and veggies choc ice cream with choc peanut bar cookies and cream protein cheesecake with choc cereal and choc brownie tim tams (213 cals 26P/12C/6.5F) KFC Kentucky Burger choc/peanut/cinnamon oats with Reece’s PB cups

29/8/14 BW 79.5kg 200 cals on the recumbent bike. Then did the 1km onesie fun run. Started off slow, then got competitive haha. Chased off after the dudes in front, stepping past little kids along the way. Reeled in 4th position by 500m. Got past 3rd at about 800m. Overtook the guy who was in second on the line. Good…

cows are after gainz too you know.

LOL at this thread. Jorocka: after your sheiko talk. I now wonder why people don't also recommend it for a beginner style routine (except for they won't know actual maxes). But if you are conservative, you get PLENTY of volume, PLENTY of practice, don't fark around with fluff isolation exercises, as long as you add in a…

I would say that 2000mg to 4lbs is BS. What happens if your potassium intake is 2000mg extra also? Sodium/potassium ratio matters as does your habitual intake e.g. if someone who normally consumes 1500mg of sodium each day eats 5000mg one day, they will likely retain water. If someone habitually eats 4000mg/day and…

just another dumb *kitten* trying to get famous/sell some BS to people who are dumb enough to believe her. I know someone who tried her diet. Had to stop because fruit was fermenting in her stomach and she looked semi pregnant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik1yqVuUti4&index=122&list=UUg5G7qUcxNgCaJQhiIxr3sA Hope that…

1kg of chicken per day crew checking in :tongue: Who are these vegan strength athletes you speak of? The only guy I've heard of is Frank medrano and I wouldn't call bar calisthenics an actual strength sport (compared to say powerlifting/strongman/oly lifting)

Goals change. And there are short and long term goals. I was originally 95kg with a goal of 85kg. I reached that and then set a goal of 77kg. Reached that and decided 70kg (as I thought I would have visible abs then). Reached 70kg and then turned out I was skinny fat. Started lifting properly. Goal then changed to increase…

cranshinibon:Loving the Japanese! Would you happen to have recipe and possibly macros for the nikuman?

28/8/14 BW 79.9kg Farkin happy with the assisted right arm chinups! At the start of this cut I could do 21 2 hand chins at 86kg BW. Not “too” far off that with one arm now. If my left side works before the year is out, I’ll redo the test for that athlete challenge thing. Then some arm stuff that doesn’t hurt shoulder.…

400lbs is the standard for not being a novice any more for men in regards to powerlifting. (yes BW matters obviously) I haven't had any male who has trained with me for a year consistently not able to deadlift 400lbs for 1 rep. I posted this to Sara but this is the standards for GPC in Australia. A LOT harder to be…

soy whiting, pumpkin and broccoli S&P calamari, potato chips and broccoli

27/8/14 BW 79.8kg Rest day. Just did 450cals total on the bike for the day watching youtube and transformers (average I thought). Cals 1977 228P/201C/37F EATS soy whiting, pumpkin and broccoli S&P calamari, potato chips and broccoli

No it isn't if you are severely under eating.
