Thx for your input,really appreciate it mate.
When you say dont starve yourself,you mean keep eating 2600 calories all clean right?
And you say go cold turkey on sugar,the thing when i tried to i start feeling uneasy,like i need to keep moving,move my hands,my legs,take deep breath,i start feeling uneasy,shaky"but no tremors" , i feel like am about to faint,thats why i end up eating tiny amounts of “poptarts”.
Best thing that i would consider healthy and makes me feel good is dates. So do you recommend i stick to dates for my sugar intake"given its underr 2600 cals?"[/quote]
This is the effect of low blood sugar from being in a caloric deficit. Consuming sugar causes an insulin spike, which alleviates the symptoms rapidly. You are not addicted to sugar. The last thing you need is to believe that.[/quote]
would you please elaborate on this “You are not addicted to sugar. The last thing you need is to believe that.” everyone been saying this , and ive spent the last couple of days reading about it.

First, read the 1st sentance of the post again and see if the following makes sense. Feeling like shit when dieting is normal. The consumption of sugar, which gives you near immediate relief from the aforementioned symptoms, will give you the impression that you are sugar dependant.
Second, find studies with conclusive evidence of sugar addiction which were not conducted with animal models(studies. NOT articles).

Quitting sugar cold turkey doesn’t work all that well for people who are used to high amounts every day. Taper off over a period of two to three weeks. Keep a journal of every bit of sugar you eat or drink, and reduce it a little every day. Drink lots of water and eat lots of veggies. [/quote]

Sigh…
Alright OP, you’ve heard three different opinions, all of them from, as it stands, strangers on the internet who’ve never met you. If you want to know for sure, go see a dietician.[/quote]
How would a dietician help me on this? I am already counting calories and working two days in a row and resting for one, so how would a dietician visit help me?[/quote]
If you’re really feeling like shit, you may want to consult one to give you a custom diet with a more gradual reduction in calories or carbs or whatever. Stuff too complex for my little brain to comprehend.

So i wanted to post my new pics here , after 3 month. it is not much of an improvement . but i have gone down for 34% to 29%, i dropped from 260 to 248pounds .
Muscle mass is 205.5 lbs now.
Im not doing any form of diet yet . planning to start on a low carb , when , i have no idea yet
on that carb, sugar, thing when my oldest kid does low carb eating
[i dont like word diet]
he feels fine drops body fat
when i do low carb ,after 2, 3 days i get light headed feel faint feel weak
doctor has no clue why, best i can do is carb cycling
as much as every body is the same we all different you got to find what works for you
keep up the effort dont quit

yeah same here, when i go on a low carb diet i get light headed to, i checked my bp,glucos,heart rate etc, and everything was fine .
So need to find a work around this.
Any idea how much time i need to put some decent muscles on me? 2 years?
I take no supplements what so ever, no even protien shakes
generally for a big guy/6’3 your calories seem too low -if low carb makes you feel crap try steadily upping your good fats. As long as you are training very hard like with above program you will be suprised how much you can get away with
So these past couple days ive been researching a good diet i can follow with a good workout routing.
Please critique the following
Workout sessions. I am working one muscle per day ,with a total of 5 exercises per muscle , 3 sets per exercise,10 reps per set. Every workout sessoins takes me around 30 to 35 mins .
I was thinking working out two muscle groups per session, but itll take me like an hour + to finish.
My diet would be something like this
4:00 am Gym “im an early sleeper/waker”
3 dates before my workout
5:30 am Breakfast :
2 egg whites 1 whole egg
1 loaf of brown bread
1 cup of coffee with 1 tbs of powder cream
7:30 am snack I
handfull of raisins
11:30 lunch
150 grams of grilled chicken breast
1 cup of brown rice
1 bowl of salad
14:00 snack 2
1 tuna can “with water not oil”
10 almonds
1tbs of honey
17:30
150 grams grilled chicken or fish
1 boiled potato
1 bowl of salad
20:00 snack 3
1 bowl of fat free yogurt
2 dates
I was thinking about fat burner supplements, but im not to keen on them . No idea why, but given all the high blood pressure and heart palpitation horror stories i heard , id rather stay away from them, although i want to give it a try . I was recommended L-carnetine , so if anything, would like to hear your feedback on this .
There is zero need for you to focus on individual muscle groups right now. Do NOT write your own program if you don’t know what works and what doesn’t. Your diet outline seems okay-ish in some places but could be improved in others; see the second link.

This is a mediocre plan for your goals.
What I posted along with pretty much any full body routine will lean you out much faster, look up some Waterbury and Thib articles if want to schlep around.
Highish volume like Ws4sb as mentioned above would also be superior
