you need to slowly up your cals each week, don't just up them all at once or your sure to gain all your wait back. Damn man 600 a day is fucking harsh.. Good luck.

wow 600 cals??

How the hell were you feeling? But as Big Mike said slowly add the carbs and keep on the cardio and you should be fine.

Zoom, im curious. So please enlighten me. With your extremely low calorie diet how bad was your muscle loss? Im sure you do look good, but how do you feel?

when coming off a harsh diet, try to get 2-3 servings of fructose within the AM time period. ie. pineapple is good one. this will immediatly start replenishing liver glycogen and it turn "help" bring your T levels back to normal. again all in the am. dont go overboard; its easy to "overspill" when dealing with simple sugars.

If i were you i would keep the protein high, with medium carbs, and low fat.

Oops i almost forgot, keep on the cardio. And keep lifting

congratulations on your results

Peace Out
