Add an EFA to this meal i.e. Flax/Almonds/Natty PB

Move this meal to PPWO

5 pm - All the Whey Protein Shake x 2

Move this meal to after PPWO and have it with flax oil

In Bold bro..

General rules to follow:

1. Never have protein alone
2. Never combine fat/carbs in the same meal
3. Always have pro/fat meal after cardio to continue lipolysis
4. Save all the carbs to PWO/PPWO only.

General outline to follow on training days:

m1: Pro/Fat
m2: Pro/Fat
m3: Pro/fat
-Workout-
PWO Pro/Carb
PPWO Pro/carb
m6: Pro/Fat
bed

Cardio Only Days:

All meals pro/fat.

[dalcowbag]

what about carbs about 3-4 hours before a workout? to give some energy. me i feel like i need it. is it something to get used to? also, can you gain a descent amount lbm with this diet?

It all depends if you are cutting or bulking, and what your body is like. One of my favorite things for energy before the gym is having a drink that Swole coincidently drinks as well: Lo-Carb Monsters. Those things give me a great boost.

Yeah, you could do that.. Personally I don't because thats just the way my body is.

Yup, those things are like crack for bodybuilders.

Well I have to bump this because I have a question for you guys.

I want to do 2 45 minute cardio sessions a day, one early in the morning and one later in the evening. Would I benefit from the same diet that Slizz posted a top?

I really want to lean up again.

You'd use the schedule for days off from training that he has above. All fat/pro meals. (Some have carbs in meal 1 just for "some" over the course of the day, or perhaps after the 2nd cardio session to replace the tad of glycogen lost over the course of the day and from the 2x cardio. Experiment!) Don't forget fibrous green veggies somewhere in the plan.......

I forgot to mention the greens. Yeah Im munching on broccoli every other meal. Its the only one I can bear eating lol.

[Maraxus]

Currently I am on a tren /prop cycle. Should I discontinue it since I only started my second week. Or should I continue it? Although I am still going to me weight training it wont be at the same magnitude since I am doing a crap load of cardio, but it will definately retain its intensity.

[TRIBOL]

IMO keep the cycle in order to save all the LBM you can while doing all that cardio and calorie restriction.
