This is what I was thinking a carb cycle would look like

136lb at 24%bf it says my tdee is 1867 - 2105 depending on my activity level

Mod days

151.5 p = 606 cal
45f = 405 cal
124 c = 496 cal

1507 calories in all 360c below tdee

Light days

Same as above but only leafy greens

About 1,011 which is about 856 cal below

High days

151.5 p = 606 cal
45f = 405 cal
300c = 1200 cal

2,211 cal in all which is 300 above tdee

Does this look right?

I didn't calculate it Bina but if your going off of 3 low 1 high at 40% lower on carb days then 15% higher on high days(% is below or above reg TDEE)...

Then it would follow suit... Also I was thinking how do you respond to Lower fats? I've always like my carbs and protein high but w/liw fats(even 30-40g) but for me to gain I usually up my carb intake b/c I respond well to higher carbs low fats high P of course

[bina]

Thank you for those percentages. My numbers will be off a little because the info I read under the sticky thread didn't give the 40% under 15% above info..or I may have missed it. I will calculate it again based on that.

I prefer higher carbs than fat. I have not done a no starchy carb diet other than when I tried paleo but I was eating ALOT of all sorts of veggies and a little fruit. Are you saying I may want to lower my fat down a little more? I couldn't find a daily breakdown of percentage of p/f/c for this cycling either. So I guessed. I should have asked first. It seemed dependent on how much protein you had to eat. So I did that calculation and then split my remaining calories between carbs and fat but gave carbs extra

Sorry so wordy

You still had the right idea! Those can be tweaked as well to fit you... And those %ages are based on the only ones I know... That's what I would start w/and know once your body adapts to it(if it does) you can manipliuate your %ages even moreso to fit your bodies needs!

And yes once you figure out your P or any macro(but P seems to be the obvious as one wants to make sure they're getting enough or build their program around it)... I wouldn't say your taking in too much fats at all I just was adding that as I know many people who respond well to low fats and high C/P(40/40/20) has worked great(50/30/20) is another good one that I may try when bulking next time... Just throwing out ideas / you know your body and how it responds(or if your not to sure yet - diet is tricky - definitely give this a go and Up your cardio if need be(to meet desired goals)

[Mr.BB]

Thank you for this info. I was going to check out carb cycling. I've read a bit about it on here. It will depend on how low the carbs have to go bi get cranky if they are too low. Although I've done okay with as low as 80 so far. Do you try to keep the same over all calorie goal each day?

Why do you not like the almonds?

Think the almonds just add fat ... Its only my opinion, but I think the hype about almonds being a superfood is "a bit" exagerated... Once or twice per week its all good imo, but twice a day is over the top... Like Nach I'm also a low fat guy

40-40-20 macro, on high carb day you can go to 50-30-20 or 50-35-15, although is hard to get below 20% fat. Also on high carb days you can up cals 200 or 300. You need to see what works better for you

[GirlyGymRat]

I haven't time to read all recent posts. Carb cycling is the one thing I have never tried! Everyone who has tried it in the nutrition forum has had great results. They never stop carb cycling once they start or so it seems!

[bina]

I have been extremely hungry today and yesterday. I have been eating about 80-90 carbs a day and I don't think it is sufficient right now. I still plan to carb cycle next week so I know I will have a couple days each week that I feel this way but hopefully I'll have positive results from it.

I broke out with 4 zits on my face. I know it doesn't sound like much but I NEVER get any zits so this is not okay! I have one on my chin,upper lip, nose and forehead. Almost like a straight line. They are red and ugly! My hair continues to be greasy. I used to go 5-6 days before washing it and I can go 3 max now.

thank you for this info. I'm going to work on numbers and meals this weekend. It became more work than I thought it would be to figure out for this week plus my meals this week are already in the fridge.

I freak out when I get pimples too.
I only had one pimple on cycle. But I did get oily hair. I can go a week but not on cycle. 3 max like you!

I was told that origins spot remover is the bomb! Little bottle for 16$ but works quickly and only requires a little dab. Apply as soon as feel the pimple coming on.

[GirlyGymRat]

Also. Appetite can increase on var! I have access to prescription appetite suppressants. Also purchased some phen. I this compound. Amazing!!!

Funny you say that about the Origins. I text my friend last night freaking out about the zits and she brought me some of spot remover to use. I'm definitely buying some.

[GirlyGymRat]

Phen! No hunger. It's amazing! Your body will get used to it with constant usage. I take rarely and only 15mg. I found pharm grade.

[GirlyGymRat]

Mmmm Phen Phen... Yoyr lucky how do you pull that off I wanta know about it! lol

Gotta know where to shop. LoL. It's not inexpensive but totally worth it!!!!!

Phentermine sure didn't settle well with me. . . Appetite suppression was great and I felt way alert. But, after a few days I started getting completely mind numbing headaches and had to stop. And I was only taking 1/2 of a 37.5mg pill.



The ol' Ec is plenty IMO

I'm not a low fat person. Without counting calories, I still eat less calories on fat than I do on carbs, but that seems to be highly individual.

Still, I'm not a big fan of almonds either. I think a lot of people can't control their intake, because I think there is something satisfying about the crunch factor. Having said that, I think almonds are better than peanuts, and both are better than potato chips/crisps.

The almonds also add a fair amount of omega 6 fats to your diet, which makes the average person even more deficient in omega 3 (unless you are seriously feasting on oysters or something concomitantly).

I don't now where to get the ephedrine!! I read many positives on ECA stack!

[< <Samson> >]

Unless something has recently changed - Just get Bronkaid from the pharmacy. It has Guafacin(or whatever it's called) - but, it never gave me any issues.

Or - there are quite a few places that sell pure Ephedrine. I always used either Bronkaid or Primetine without issues.

I heard this ^^^ but Thx for the info, Samson... Always had trouble w/Ephedrine too!

Thank you.

Can't get ephedra in all states. I found a site that sells but can only get # boxes per order per month. Have to upload drivers license photo id. I am going to check for this bronkaid product locally.

Bina. How's it going???

[bina]

It has been going. This week has been overly busy!! I have been able to make it to the gym all 6 days and am sore but I don't feel like I've made extra progress this week. My strength is still increasing but I'm not pleased with my fat loss over all.

My goal going into next week is to step up my cardio. My one struggle is with cardio. I hate doing it so it seems to be what I cut when my time runs out. I'm going to add active rest between my sets. This way it won't be kept for last.

[bina]

I plan to start the Jim stoppani shortcut to shred for my last 6 weeks of my cycle. He has built in active rest.

[GirlyGymRat]

Lots of guys use hiit approach while lifting so cardio is built in and then do just 20 min on treadmill. It's a way.

[bina]

I will back her down to 10mg, she has noticed her temper is elevated as well as her appetite. She can't eat a lot due to the gastric bypass in dec, she is down 50+ but has stalled a bit. The damn pills are so hard to split, even halving them caused most to crumble, might need to get some caps and pack them at 10mg each. Bina, good job on the weight, that is a great bench.

How is your wife doing??

[bina]

Did my first hiit style workout in a while. Felt a little sick when I finished which is a good sign.

Flat bench

W/U 1 set bar x 12
1s 65 x 12

Working sets (did step ups between sets)

85 x 12
105 x 12
105 x 12
105 x 11

(Then the trainer came over and wasted 5 min talking to me :/)

Incline dumbbell press (did butt kicks between sets)

3 sets of 30 x 12

Incline dumbbell flies (did and between sets)

3 sets 15 x 12

Spent another 12 min doing body weight and

Had to leave to get home to get my kids off to school. My workout was short...45min was all I had.

[bina]

I have a noticeable imbalance on my right side. It is way weaker than my left. This is what the trainer wanted to talk to me about. I already knew it though.

Does anyone have suggestions on ways to fix this. My bicep is smaller and everything is weaker from my shoulder to my calf.

[kelkel]

I'd see a good chiropractor to see if he can locate the cause of the imbalance.

I have an appointment at 3! I was thinking chiropractic help for it by the trainer at my gym frowned when I said that...he isn't my favorite trainer but the only one at the gym I go to.

Are you also left handed?

[GirlyGymRat]

Describe good pls .

[bina]

Yes I am. Or weird handed as my husband likes to say. Haha!

[GirlyGymRat]

My right side is dominate. I am right handed. Hmmmmm. I guess we can either decrease the weights on dominate side until lagging side catches up or increase weights on lagging side until matches the dominate.

[kelkel]

Describe good pls .

Advanced degree in applied kinesiology. Can do limbs.

I'm right handed but left is dominant... Always has, but since my right side is weaker(shoulder) I don't ever do more weight in one hand it'll build a muscular imbalance even worse, could cause injury etc, always use same weighted DBs or plates on each side... If the one fails b4 the other your losing yoyr form too! No good, now U could do a few more reps after a set or rest hit that side till it gets stronger... Or work on totally separate like after a session... Does this make sense...

Yes that makes sense. I have never done extra weight on my dominant side but I have done extra reps before. I will be more cautious and make sure not to do that. I like the idea of doing a little extra on that side only when I have extra time.

[zempey]

The wife is doing well, muscles are definitely starting to look more defined and she says they are always hard. She is getting stronger too, the weight loss is slowing due to muscle mass increase.

As for the imbalance, I just try to work through it, one side will almost always be stronger. My right is stronger then my left on most things as I am right handed.
