    Congrats Bro !! I know how you feel! You just got to do it !

    Your cycle looks tight. Fire away ! Why are you going 0 carbs m-f ??? This is my .02 cents but I would have carbs but nothing after 4:00.... If your going to be training that hard I dont care how big you are you will need some form of carbs....

    (IMO :-))
    Good Luck

    Well you try and minimize your carbs as low as possible. I probably end up eating about 25-30g of carbs (hard to cut) all carbs.

    Bodyopus diet use atkins approach in getting into ketosis and losing body fat, however he designed it so that you would not lose muscle mass by carbing up on weekends. He also has a specific way to train while on this diet.

    Check out this link, its a great read. Its by Lyle Macdonald who updated the bodyopus diet (author of CKD diet). He has a section where he kept a journal of 20 weeks on this diet. He did 10 weeks cutting and 10 weeks bulking.

    http://low-carb.org/lylemcd/

    If your still interested in this diet I recommend the book bodyopus it goes into great detail, as well he discuss other diets.

    Shot me a pm if you want more info

    Summary of last week
    It took a while to get into ketosis. Did not reach until wed afternoon sometime. Also ate too much carbs during carbup. Have to do a better job in limiting the carbs as I looked bloated this morning.

    Results
    Remarkable over eatting on the weekend and as a result carrying some extra water weight I am down a couple of pounds (2).

    Goals for this week (week 1)
    1) try and increase fat and lower protien to get into ketosis quicker.
    2) Watch the carbs on the weekend.

    Note. Recieved my test late last week so never started the cycle. This week will be the first week. I will be shotting on tuesdays and fridays 200 mg of test and eq. I will also start taking 1 mg of liquidex per day.

    It was a good idea to start the diet last week as I can now make some adjustments.

    Time for another weekly update.

    *Week 1 results*

    I started my cycle this past week. As i took 200 mg of EQ and 200 mg of enthante on Tuesday and Friday of this week. Cant wait for this stuff to start to kick in.

    Also this week I had reduced my calories by another 200. Last week when I first started preparing for the diet i was at 2100 calories and this week I dropped to under 1900.

    Started the week a with a bit extra water rentation due to over eatting last weekend. However reached ketosis by early wed and carbed up on friday. One change i did make was to limit the carbs on sunday (yesterday) so the carbs would not spill over.

    Interms of results looks like i am about 5 pounds down and 1 inch in the stomach in the two weeks i have been dieting.

    *Plans for Week 2*
    1) Add a bit more cardio
    2) drop the calories further by another 200 to be at 1700 calories/day Sunday - Thrusday.
    3) Hope to reach ketosis quicker.

    I am probably still a few weeks for the test and eq kick in.

    I have received a few pms about what exactly I am training and eating during the day. I thought I would post a daily summary of what I am doing.

    Week starts Sunday evening, you cut out all carbs and then do one hour cardio in late evening.

    Monday

    Train -- Work Chest, Delts and Arms (Heavy, 6-10 reps)

    Diet -- 2 protein shakes, 2 spoons of Mayo, 5-6 oz of Beef, 6 spoons of flax oil, 9 Egg white and 2 yolks. About 75% fat, 24% protein and 1% carbs... 1900 Calories total

    Supplements -- ECA, 2 Multivitamins, 1 Calcium pills, 2 potassium pills and fiber powder (4 glass through out the day)

    Tues

    Train -- Back and Legs (Heavy, 6-10 reps)

    Diet and Supplements same as Monday

    Wed and Thursday

    Exercise -- 30 mins cardio on empty stomach

    Diet and Supplements same as Monday

    Friday.

    Training -- Train all muscles, circuit training (Very Light 20-25 reps)

    Start day like normal, eat high fat and medium protein.
    1-2 hours before training eat some carbs about 50g.
    After training start carb up

    Saturday
    No exercise, continue carb up

    Sunday

    Training: 1 hour cardio usually late evening after finishing all carbs.

    Diet: Cut back on carbs and make to stop all carbs before 4 pm.

    Each week I have been making adjustments on this diet.

    If you have any questions or comments feel free to post them.

    Yet another weekly update

    *Week 2 results*

    Did 200 mg of EQ and 200 mg of enthante on Tuesday and Friday of this week. Still waiting for this stuff to kick in.

    This week I kept my calories from Sunday - Thursday under 1700 (10*bodyweight).

    Had lots of energy and was able to maintain it all week. Started no carbs Sunday morning and reached ketosis even earlier this week on Monday evening, total of 4 days in ketosis. Workouts on Monday and Tuesday were good however felt a bit weak on my workout on Friday. Added more cardio during the week up to 4 hours per week.

    Results weight is still the same however did drop another inch in the waist. Still have a long way to go.

    *Plans for Week 3*
    1) Keep doing what I am doing.
    2) Hoping the Eq and test kick in this week.

    If you have question feel free to post them. I am on the board quite a bit and would appreciate any comments you may have.

    Sorry guys did not have a chance to update yesterday.

    *Week 3 results*

    Did 400 mg of EQ and 400 mg of Enthante on this past week.

    Maintained my calories from Sunday to Thursday under 1700

    Energy was high this week. Started no carbs Sunday morning and reached ketosis on Monday evening, total of 4 days in ketosis. Workouts this week were good, test and eq are kicking in.

    After My workout Monday and Tuesday my body felt like it had been in a train accident. Picked up some glutmine and added that to my diet helped with the muscle soreness.

    Did 4 hours of cardio during this week.

    Results to date are my weight is down a bit and my waist is down 2 inches (hoping to lose another 5-6 inchs.

    Plans for week 4 to keep the everything the same.

    I was planning next to change from ECA to clen and maybe add yohimbe aswell. I have searched that its not the safest combo does anyone have any opinions on this?

    Maintained my calories from Sunday to Thursday under 1700

    Started no carbs Sunday morning and reached ketosis on Tuesday morning. Workouts this week were good, test and eq are helping with strength.

    This week I trained Monday and Tuesday very hard. On Friday I took it easy with the weights. Did 4 hours of cardio like last week.

    May want to think about adding a low dose of t3 for your final 4 weeks. The stuff works miracles when combined with diet and gear. I seem to lose an inch a week off my waist and thats while increasing calories. Just a thought!!!!!

    Thanks for the feedback. I have been debating about adding some t3. What would be a good low dose 12.5mcg or 25mcg.

    I currently have 6 weeks left.

    You always want to cycle up and then down on it. I would do 12.5 for 3 days then 25 for 3-then 37.5 for 3-then 50 for 3-from there you can continue to go up every 3 days to 100 mcg or stabalize at 50mcg until it is time to work back down. Hope that helps.
