Man you guys are anal! results or the opinion of the diets creator arent good enough for you? (:

For me the biggest “tell” if I have been backloading with enough quality stuff is I feel good and I have awesome workouts. As soon as I backload with shit or not enough carbs, workouts suffer.

Honestly the opinion of the person that put the info there to MAKE MONEY should never be good enough for you. You should always be able the think critically and test the claims.

I’ll do it, if you buy me a glucometer cuz I’m broke!! I’m already satisfied with backloading and IF, it’s made weight cutting easier than any of my previous attempts. But, like you, I’m curious to see the numbers just to satisfy my inner nerd.

One of the guys I train with had to do a wingate test in ex phys lab and his blood sugar was through the roof after he finished the exercise bout. I’m pretty sure he had a protein only breakfast that day, and had a carb refeed after training the night before.

I suppose I could lol

Chins (all bodyweight) Cable handle 2 sets of 8, medium grip 1 set of 6 & 5, wide grip 2 sets of 3

DB pullover: 80x10, 80x10

I dont want to kick up a stink here because my comment was tounge in cheek. Are you considering changing your diet because of this morning blood glucose? If not why is it such a big deal? Youve admitted getting results you are happy with, which should varify the merit of that diet so why are you so interested in this stuff? Nothing youll learn is going to change those results.

If you have high glucose in the morning, and are worried about it, have you tried just doing the diet as its supposed to be done and then checked the difference?

I’d be willing to try both. I can do a clean backload and a regular and publish my findings lol

Yeah they don’t bother me much. But that’s because of a few years of HRT that I do myself.

If needles bothered me I would be screwed as my HRT treatment would be quite difficult. The needle you speak of on the glucometer is barely a needle lol. You dont even see it. It just shoots out and pops back in. You dont even have to make a stabbing motion.

Anyways the reason i am curious is becuase i am curious. I like to experiment. And right now my glucometer (actually was my moms) is not working. And these are the experiments i want to try just to try. In my mind the reason his approach of very high gi carbs working better would be the faster lowering of blood glucose levels. I would wonder about optimal health as the demands on the pancreas would be quite intense to be producing that much insulin for those high GI carbs all almost everyday (for me because i lift 6 days a week). Anyways just some of my reasonsings and thoughts

Siox how you like the smith rows? Whats you body postition and where do you row to? LIke it better then free weights?

Well I do actually like them more than free rows. Meadows says I have to do them, so I do. Besides, it makes it a lot easier to focus on the back instead of moving the weight like I used to. But I stand on an aerobic step, and row to my upper abs usually. If I do it right I can feel it in the entire back.

Oh and I got in a fight between myself and another piece of pie after I posted. But it’s ok, I won. Also, although still a couple pounds heavier than last sunday right now I am 2 pounds lighter than when I backloaded with pizza (yesterday morning?), so that’s a plus.

Thanks for the info might have to try these but i think my smith machine at the gym is angled so not sure how that will play into it

Usually go fasted until i train, at around 4-5. I drink coffee with coconut oil and a tiny bit of whey isolate. Coffee for the caffeine, and to stop hunger. Coconut oil to prolong ketogenesis. If i eat enough the night before, its not a problem going that long. If the day before was bad, i might have a some eggs or a steak before training.

[/quote]

This is that 10 g whey + 1 teaspoon coconut oil “accelerator shake”, right? Any reason this couldn’t work with EVOO or peanut oil? That’s first thing in the morning and you don’t eat till after you train? I thought Kiefer was against extended fasting of that sort?

I think he’s against extended fasting when you don’t provide a fat source for fuel. Like the VCO or the cream.

so 10 g whey and 1 tsp oil is enough to basically fast the rest of the day?

One of my clients makes a brand new system (the one that Tim Ferriss uses in his 4 hour body book). I’ll see if they’d like to donate a system my way and if they do I’ll start tracking.

It should be enough to provide a little something. But from the template in the book Kiefer doesn’t say to be fasted ALL day till training. There is usually 1 or 2 meals in there depending on frequency. But if it works for that person then I don’t see why not.
