Hey,
I was on the Mag-10 diet with massive eating for two weeks. I gained 8 pounds from 150 to 158, and was pretty happy. Then I had to take a few days off, as we went camping and stuff, came back and started Tribex and M, and was on the recommended workout for one week, when I cam down four days ago with severe diarrhoea, and vomiting. Its been a week now, and Im still not up to working out. Besides, I cant even think of stepping on the scale, coz I fear Ive lost at least 8-10 pounds, from 158. My whole objective was weight gain, and now I think ive lost all the money I spent, as well as the effort. What do you guys suggest, do I start up again, or do you thing the effects of Mag-10 are still there, and I just need to continue the cutting phase?

Sorry to hear about your illness and such.

I would say before you go back on I would concentrate on getting well,and on a solid diet again. Get back in the gym for atleast a few weeks atleast before even considering the Mag 10 again.

Yes you most likely lost some LBM during your illness, but man sickness happens some times. Dont dwell on it. Just move on train hard and you will be back in no time.

Hope this helps,

Phill

Yeah man, get well and then fuckin’ eat! I don’t know how old you are but my guess is a lot could be accomplished via diet before mag10 becomes necessary. Everyone gets sick. Over 20 years of eating and training, one week of setbacks ain’t gonna matter that much. Get well and then get back to training and eating.
