I hope those wings are from free-range omega-3 chickens and fried in coconut (or peanut) oil… LOL…

Hey guys

Finally, a decent thread about CBL.

2 questions;

  1. How many grams of coconut oil to use in the AM Accelerator shake & Pre Workout Ignition shake?
    Kiefer prescribes 1g of MCT in the book.
    That amounts to a total of around 2g fat in the whole shake… Doesn’t seem like enough?!

  2. Do any of you know any females that have done/do CBL?

:)[/quote]

Anywhere it says 1g regarding coconut oil is supposed to be 1 tbsp. Naomi mentioned that this was a print error on the forums.

I don’t think B-dubs would have the same breakdown lol[/quote]

Not as bad as you would think. If you stick with your regular flavored wings -they’re zero carb. It’s the flavors that’ll get you.

Meh screw that. I am looking for the hormones and steroids in my wings - it’ll raise my test levels through the roof through the transitive property?

I’m on a plan with JM right now, but that above post was an off day for me.

Been reading this thread, haven’t finished it all just yet, but had a couple questions about CBL. Does Kiefer mention anything about taking BCAA’s or EAA’s in the morning when waking up?

I read what Siouxfan said about taking 10 grams of protein and how it’s just enough not to spike insulin but was wondering what would happen with taking aminos.

I was also wondering if he talks about doing cardio or low intensity workouts on the muscles and how they affect your muscles compared to weightlifting? I take Muay Thai and it’s more of a cardio/low intensity on the muscles workout and I’m wondering if that would affect how many carbs you would consume post workout compared to weightlifting.

He is against this in the low carb part of the day. But he’s all for this type of stuff PWO though, when you are actively after a high insulin response and influx of aminos.

Does he say why? I’ve read some guys on here had great results pulsing with aminos while IM fasting. I’ve actually been doing the same but I’m just waiting until 2-3 hours after waking up to take a scoop of EAAs. Does it cause an insulin spike or something?

Yup. Causes enough disruption to negate the majority of the benefits of fasting.

I think its worth trying to fast without them to start off with, and then add them in later if at all. Most people add them in straight away, almost as an unconcious reaction to all the bodybuilding diet dogma. They are willing to try an unorthodox approach, yet still have a tiny part of their mind saying “Ill waste away if I dont get aminos!” Martin Berkhan (of Leangains fame) also advises BCAAs just prior to or during workouts, but not during the fasted part of the day.

Interesting. I guess I’ll drop them and just take more during the workout period.

Does Kiefer mention anything about a cardio/low intensity workout and whether you carb load a different amount of carbs after those workouts? I’m curious whether the muscles would need the same amount of carbs or not to CBL on for recovery.

Kiefer is not a fan of Steady State Cardio. And from what Im hearing not that big a fan of intervals for fatloss either. If you were training with a sufficient volume on HIIT a backload could work. Otherwise no. Skip it

i just read his backloading ebook and he states that HIIT is fine for fat loss actually.

to poster above ^ he says no backload if you arent resistance training that day and only doing cardio.

from everything ive read im under the impression fasted cardio is extremely catabolic though?

does anybody else feel extremely hot during their carb backload? i cant stop sweating even with the fan on full blast.

See I figured he had something about cardio or HIIT but punching and kicking bags, pads and people is a little different. I wonder how that affects the muscles as it’s quite a bit different than just regular cardio. We never hear about this stuff when it comes to boxing or martial arts. It’s kind of annoying.

Catabolic is good as long as its not muscle. Catabolic in fat tissue good. And as long as you are not deep into an extended fast you will not be eating up muscle especially doing LISS fasted. That is mainly fat burning. And quite fun if you can catch a good show on TV or a good book to read
