Its 4 weeks on from the first post now. Ive dropped 2-3 pounds on the scale.
Feeling less bloated after dropping carbs and adding fat.

**the big 1** · 11-05-2009, 04:45 AM

from this morning, some front shots, critique openly...
Body fat % anyone?

**Okinawa_Power** · 11-05-2009, 04:50 AM

Bubba it looks like you are losing a little mass...I know it is hard to keep muscle and try to lose weight at the same time.....You gotta keep eating like your trying to gain weight and just up your cardio.....You look good but you have lost some mass.......

The way I did it when I was on a diet was to cut carbs for 6 days and on the seventh day carb up...This will inflate your muscles and help you keep some lean mass......Are you taking any supps for your diet?

**the big 1** · 11-05-2009, 05:17 AM

So on them 6 days you were low carb, did you up your fat intake?

Im currently taking-
Nitric oxide
Whey protien with added l-glutamine
Cod liver oil capsules ( 3 a day)
Glucosamine sulphate
I eat 1 portion of oily fish a day, and only have carbs in the morning and pre workout. Morning= oats for carbs. Pre workout= b/rice for carbs

I kept my fat intake the same during my diet. I just started at one 30 minute cardio session and after week two I moved up to two 30 minute sessions.

To be totally honest, i dont do all that much cardio, 3 or 4 x a week, its always high intensity, like sprints or circuits/intervals.
I think im gonna bump my carbs up a little and do cardio everyday. somthing like this so i dont get bored (cardio can get...repetetive)

DAY
1-30 min run
2-Run sprint walks-30 min
3-30 min bike
4-Bodywieght circuits-20-30
5-30 min crosstrainer
6-sprints-15/20 mins
7-1 hour walk ( outside )

Big 1 that sounds good....Are you taking any supps? I think the best supp to take while dieting is Clen ....It helps maintain your muscles that you have worked so hard to get.....Check it out at www.AA-R.com They are a very good company.

Great idea but Ive tried clen before, to be honest it made me feel awful, i hate that shakey feeling. That said, ive never tried ar-r 's clen, maybe its a little cleaner, mine were russian tablets, ruthless gear!

Try ar-r 's clen it is good. If you are getting to shaky then cut down the dose and you will find that it works great
