the diet look good bro i dont see what the problem is. I find it hard to believe your getting soft off of that plan.

[steve0]

dude im soft not like mussy soft but i looked harder you could see my abbs all the time now you cannot it's like there is a thin layer of water and fat covering them up i was told my carbs are to low also that my fat is to low so should i up ?? also let me remind you i have been on this diet since April and i did peak out and its like i crashed after that but i should be avle to hold on to something im still lean but my abbs look nothing like they use to and im not a swole as use to be is what im saying

[dr.shred]

change it bro, re-do the diet. Just like a workout you need to change a diet because your body adapts. Try some new rations of carbs/pro/fat.

[IronFreakX]

since April!!!!!!
thats 4 months!!!!

I update my diet every 2-4 weeks

the macros seems off...that diet need adjustments

to be honest with u..I didnt count macros and calories only protein , and when i did count the macros and calories...any changes i wanna do are wayy faster

good luck!

[steve0]

so you do not think it is leptin hormon F'in with me ??? and how late is to late to take down carbs ??? when you say rearange diet do you mean add or subtract carbs and fats ??

you diet needs work man

you have protein only meals 2 actually

you are getting fat from flax oil only

you do not have ur calories measured

and when i say re-arrange diet i mean when u lose/gain wieght obviously ur weight changes...so u need to re-adjust to the new weight

good luck

he's right. Your diet needs to be re-adjusted every so often because your body changes constantly. You may not make the same gains you did from a pervious diet now because of the adaptions your body has made.

[steve0]

alright well could i get some sugestions like maybe start useing all natty pb for fats ?? and maybe through down more fatty meat .... i was thinking my self that it was the flax because since i started useing it this has been happing

[IronFreakX]

Id keep it olive oil in meal 2

add saturated fat instead 2 of the 4 tbls of pB

cals seem a bit high..which formula did u use??

[steve0]

what can i use for saturated fat??? i used macrobolic nutrtion, they said i should be takeing down around 3000, and the Jon Berardi site said around 3000 as well so i knocked it down

[IronFreakX]

-butter for saturated fats
-lard
-prok chops
etc...

drop it to 2400..if ur losing too much weight quickly(i highly doub it) or strength

then up the cals a bit

[steve0]

i think im gonna use olive oil in place of flax i know flax is a good fat but ever since i started useing it this has been happing but it could be because it was the only fat i was useing
