Hello, 

l'm back!

So I've been getting alot of inquiring about carb cycling and diet so here is my personal diet included. Everyone can give it a shot it's not just for advanced lifters, free for all although you might need to make some adjustments if you bigger then me, or smaller than me. But that can be done by just adding or subtracting a few ounces of protein and carbs to each meal. So I've dieted both ways, and this method has proven to be by far the most effective. I find that on a normal diet with set macros after a while the body gets used to it and you either need to manipulate the macros, subtract calories, or add more cardio and this will slow down your progress if you have to spend a few weeks trying to break past the plateau. With this type of diet the macros change every single day and the body never has a chance to adapt. I been using it for about 10 weeks now and haven't had to change a thing. Before i was using this diet i was busting my ass doing cardio fasted in the mornings 5 days a week along with being at the same total calories (2500) as my carb cycling diet, and I was losing fat much slower. After i started this diet i stopped doing cardio and the fat melted off quicker then i ever could have imagined. I had recently added cardio back in (for those who have read my other posts I do HIIT) but not because the diet wasn't working anymore, just because its crunch time and i only have a few weeks left to reach my goals as well as the overall health benefits of it. Another great thing about of this type of diet is you get the benefit of some really low carb days, but then a day or two later you jack them back up so you never suffer from the negative effects of a low carb diet. And if you structure you routine right you can have you big muscle groups like chest, back. and legs on the high carb days and the low days on small muscle groups such as shoulders and arms, and the very low days on your off days.
So here it is guys, feel free to ask any questions you have.

That's it!  Hope I can help some of you reach your goals faster and I haven't bored you to sin. 

 
You put a lot of thought into that one, my friend.  I'm not even a bodybuilder, and I've found helpful info in your writing - At 61 years old!  Well done.

 
Thanks guys and no problem, I'm really trying to cover all the bases. Also moving home was an

pain. Hardly any Internet and having to endlessly wait in for engineers to come. If it taken any longer I'd have been looking for a publisher. The diet isn't set in stone just like everything. But I've listed soooo many foods, days, macros that if someone really does want carb cycle with flavour it's there man..

Again, damn fine research, references, and writing.  Hell @Hammerblow, if you wrote a weekly column for a muscle rag I'd read it - Even in the knowledge that there's little of it I can apply, reading your work gives me a better idea of how all those rough bastards at JSOC South (Joint Special Operations Command for South America, now part of SOCOM (Special Operations Command)) built and maintained the muscle mass they did. Seems to me they simply wanted to badly enough even given the optempo of the each individual command.  I've seen a Special Forces medic, once released from formation, clean his weapon and equipment, eat a hefty portion of brown rice, drive to Kroger at 11PM to pick up an entire Rotisserie chicken, spend an hour and a half in the gym, then eat the entire chicken before going to sleep - And this was AFTER an 18 hour day.

Want to seems to be the key, as in so many other areas of life.

  1. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  2. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  3. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  4. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  5. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  6. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  7. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  9. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  11. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  17. D @ drdrizzy13: At first I figured he might be able to do something but our position players suck. We are playing a rookie QB. O-line sucks. It needs to be blown up. I hope we tank for the first pick
  18. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah dude Moore def does not seem like the guy for yall need to clean house
  20. D @ drdrizzy13: I should say our receivers suck
