As far as adjusting calories/macros/skiploads when skiploading there are a couple things you need to consider, and u’ll see why it is important to take your weight every day
Baseline : This can be described as when your bodyweight comes back to the point where you were the day before your skipload. When should it happen? Around day 3 or 4.
SO, if you hit baseline after 1 or 2 days what does this mean? It means that your load was not big enough. Its at that point that you can/should increase your load time (usually by 2hours). IF, on the other hand, you dont baseline before day 5 or even 6 well then this would mean your skipload was too big (so too long) and should be reduced.
Weightloss : If you are hitting baseline when you should then what you should be looking for is the difference between your preskipload day from the current week vs the previous week. If you havent lost 1-2lbs in that week what does this mean? That you are eating too many cals. If you have loss more than that what does this mean? That you are not eating enough cals
I personally like to increase the caloric deficit and/or lower it by about 250cals/day and not make any change that is too drastic. Now this is going to be highly individual but I personally prefer to reduce the carbs first but I will want to keep some of them around workouts. If it is possible to add more cardio sessions in that is great but you can’t just go adding those without reducing cals ever
Obviously the way you remove the carbs/fats is going to be highly individual. But notice I say remove carbs/fats… i don’t touch proteins, or not much anyways
Not posted in a while - as you can see on the news egypt is fucked again.
Curfew 7pm - 6am. Weird hours at the gym, shops closed etc worked is fucked as well. Shops pretty much have no meat or poultry and fresh vegetables are hard to come by.
Luckily where i live is pretty far away from the violence maybe 10 miles or so. So i’m safe, just bored to hell and eating what is available.
Still training but diet is pretty much what i can get hold off at the moment. Have whey etc and trying to get hold of what protein sources are there.
Honestly my diet is not a priority at the moment, my 2 businesses are struggling now and i plan on moving back to the uk within the next month or so. So i have a lot on my plate at the moment (not food wise lol).
Watch this space anyway. I’m around when i can be. Just guna try n maintain my weight at the moment. Will be back on this as soon as i am able.

Dont worry about the diet right now, if anything ur eating less calories, you know what food to avoid and im sure you will not overeat right now, food choices doesnt matter as much. You could diet on protein powder, candies and peanut butter tbh
Pretty sure focus #1 oughta be GTFO Egypt. Just wanted to post that instead of “yeah but watch your protein” or something. Big old dose of 2 cents but I bet you of all people agrees hahaha.
I am currently in a sector of Bangkok that had major violence a few yrs back, and when I got here there were rumors of protests again…not even close to cool stuff. Take care.

Glad everythings ok, things are going from bad to worse out there.
Where will you move to in the UK?[/quote]
I’m from Manchester originally so moving back there. Investing into a supplement distribution company with my friend which should be fun.
Where you at?[/quote]
Oxford. So now I have to exchange the London accent I apply to all your posts for a Man-ches-star one lol!
Can you maintain your other businesses from here or are you selling them off? Or looking to move back to Egypt in the long term?[/quote]
Guna travel in between, come back to egypt every few weeks to maintain, i have a good manager here but i can handle most things online etc. So we’ll see how it goes!
Thankfully i don’t have a Gallagher style accent lol.
The long distance business thing is viable with the good people you say you have. Not sure of your whole situation, just throwing out some reassurance from a position of experience.

Moved countries, moved house, built a shop and warehouse, built a website and getting back into the gym!
I’m stronger, not as lean but not put fat on.
The last 3 months have been about survival and not training. My new busines is set up and i’m back in routine not to mention i pretty much have unlimited supplements. Hopefully i’ll have Biotest products on my site soon for speedy Uk delivery!
