Brain stopped working....

[soulstealer]

I started dieting really hard seeing as I only have about 4 weeks left and my brain is just about shut off =P I am really slow.... Currently my diet consists of

300g Protein
50-120g Carbs
50g fat

with a carb loading day every 14th day....

Is the lack of carbs whats making me feel slow? =P

Carb up every seven days instead of fourteen. See if that makes a difference.

[soulstealer]

I was thinking that I was just worried about slowing down the results....

[Prada]

It would ***end on your whole diet but refilling every 14 days is long not to mention can make you catabolic.

[godkilla]

try dropping your fat and protein abit and upping your carbs.

[spywizard]

I assume you are getting your fats from fish oil or flax???

and those are low carbs for sure..

[soulstealer]

Fats coming from a combination of flax/peanutbutter and trace from chicken/fish/oatmeal....

Carb sources are oatmeal/veggies and maltodextrin on workout days PWO

All protein sources are PWO Shake eggwhites/chicken/tuna/orange roughy

Currently on 550mg of Test enth per week....(will hopefully keep me anabolic enough not to loose too much muscle =P)

6'2 257lbs @ 13.5% BF

The thing is I only have 4.5 weeks left "on" and I am shooting for single digits... thats why I made my diet so strict trying to drop another 15-20lbs in that time....but I'm getting a little loopy mid day...

Btw currently doing 1h30min of 70% Max HR ED 1h in the morning and 30 Min PWO 5 days a week with 2 days off.... was carbing up on my off days but I wanted to decrease that as much as possible...

[ss01]

If I were you I would either up the carbs back to a more comfortable spot, or go ketogenic, that is 30g of carbs or less. Carb-load every 7 days.

I would agree with you but I am worried about the muscle wasting of a full on keto diet....

[spywizard]

well, lets look at salt, and you will be holding water from teh test e...

I would also suggest that perhaps your system has adapted, and or perhaps slipped into a starvation mode..

supplement with low dose t4 would be one rate..

clen 2/2 would be a way to go to help with catabolic effects of low cals

There are some great termogenic and dermal applications that i could suggest..

It is not muscle-wasting at all. Plus you are on test...

Currently taking Lipo6 as a thermogenic... where I am at with calories and expenditure do you think that say 50mcg of t3 would be more catabolic to muscle then it would help in fat loss?(can get t3 and clen in 3 or so days)

Also sodium is kind of high right now so that probably adds to the water retention of the test which I'm not really worried about right now.... Planning on switching esters to propinate for the last 4 weeks starting this sat.. and manipulate sodium at end of cycle....

T3 is *NOT* actually catabolic to muscle, period. Yes it SEEMS like it is, which is the root of the legend that it is, but in fact it isn't. It does have muscle-deflating and muscle-weakening effects but those are transient, i.e. these effects vanish when you stop the T3.

I was under the impression that T3 would ramp up your thyroid in turn cause you to burn indescrimanent calories... weather they be muscle tissue or adipose tissue

[cherokee6]

brain needs glucose ...up the carbs... you have some low values...good luck...

[audis4]

focus on overall calories vs. your carb count

[soulstealer]

Well I'm going to carb up this sunday for a fouth of july party.... so I'll see how I feel but on the positive side I'm cutting weight like an animal... =P

[inheritmylife]

focus on overall calories vs. your carb count

This is good advices.

[soulstealer]

This is good advices.

Of course it is but did you guys actually read my macros? or the kind of proteins and fats I'm consuming....

I'm taking in

300g of protein = 1200 kcals
50-120g carbs = 200-480kcals
50g of fat = 450kcals

Ok. I think that your fat intake is way too low I would increase it by at least 50gs. 120gs of carbs should be enough to keep your energy levels high, but I would restrict yourself to veggies, dairy carbs, and fruit. Protein seems a little high to me.

All my carbs come from oatmeal and Maltodextrin... but you prolly right I'll add a serving or two of peanut butter to my meals.... and you think 300g of protein is high for a 255lb individual? its only 1.18g/pound of bodyweight

I'm just thinking in terms of getting the right proportions of macros in for your goals and general wellbeing while keeping overall calories in range.

I don't think that you'll be losing muscle of fewer grams of protein so long as you are getting everything else you need and are training.

up the fat a bit and you need more carbs imo....you will lose weight but if you're cutting how i think you want, you don't want to lose muscle. I would start off with 2-300 cals below maintenance and keep those cals there for a week or two until you stop losing weight. SLOWLY lower cals every few weeks. It's a long process but you should keep most of your muscle and get rid of the fat
