You really are self-absorbed. You created a thread on the internet, not the fucking diet itself.

Do you really think I was being serious in the way I worded it, or just goofing around?

With you, who knows.
crap…I just bought 100 caps of potassium gluconate only to realize that they are only 99 mg potassion per cap…is anyone else following lyle’s potassium recs?
I just follow directions on the bottle of mineral supplements. 
I also eat at least 1 cup of cottage cheese or fat free Greek yogurt per day for calcium and some tomtatos and salsa. I salt most of my foods too.
Day 2–Already feeling starved. 
Day3-FML

Keep at it people!
ugh. I need to restructure my diet- mainly through actually planning things. My basic plan is a planned-carb approach. Carbs on heavy lifting days, usually closer to the workout. I’m thinking of trying something like this:
6am: eggs+ spinach+ multi +curcumin
9am: 30g oats+ chicken
1pm: shake and nuts
4pm: ground beef and eggs and veggies
7pm: ground beef and eggs and veggies
10pm: cottage cheese and cinnamon
Hmm… I know this right now doesn’t include portions/carbs/calories, but I will dink around and figure it out. I really don’t know if it’s any good, but I want something stupid-easy, repeatable, relatively cheap, and understandable. I’m handy with spices.
BTW, following a modified version of this plan, I’ve lost 18 pounds in 2 months- 9 pounds a month, or a little over two pounds a week. Granted, that’s going from minimal activity to two a day sessions, but also with two weeks of just sitting on my butt. Pretty good, I feel.
Can’t wait to incorporate weekly pulse fasts…
I know I’m not on the diet anymore, but I’m still losing fat rapidly and I’m considering getting back on the diet to just get the fat loss over with.
Pic on the left is me yesterday, on the right is pic from the last week of the diet about 5 weeks ago.
EDIT: Pic came out really bad so I’ll just attach two:

Nice, glad to hear your modified version is working for you!
The pulse fasts are great, I’m doing a cheapo version and still seeing results.

nice progress chimera!
It’s friday and I’ve had really good compliance on my first week…but with the weekend comes my cheat meal and the 5 hour refeed and I REALLY dont want to F it up and go overboard…not to mention I’ll probably feel sick if I try and eat too much cause this diet removes my appetite and I forget to eat sometimes…
Any tips? Especially for the 5 hour refeed…
Thanks

Thanks!
For me, the refeed was kind of self correcting in that I couldn’t really overeat all that much in the five hour time span. Though if you’re worried you could start off with something filling like oatmeal and protein powder then have your cheat foods.
Hey Chim, my baby abs have started to show up!! I wouldn’t even bother with this diet if your already making such good progress!
In all honesty, I don’t adhere strictly to the 5hr refeed rule. I have better luck with spreading the carbs through the day. I think the whole 5 hour thing makes sense if you really have no control over your foods…theres gotta be a limit for some people.
I start after training on Friday and end it Saturday. This way I get to enjoy the weekend a bit more as well. Carbs are the same amount, just not crammed into 5 hours.

Congrats, that’s awesome! I guess you’re right, if it aint broke don’t fix it.
True, I think it depends on how much you can eat. If I had a full blown cheat day I could eat enough to tip the calorie balance too far.
I hardly have ‘cheat foods,’ these days…it’s usually just not worth feeling miserable for.
My refeeds consist of boring clean foods (squash, rice, potato, fruit) etc…

Good for you, recently I’ve been trying the healthed up version of ‘cheat foods’ with recipes like what Shugart has.
Question from a newb on EC:
I have been on a thermogenic which has 275gm caffeine and a bunch of other things. It’s good, strong and worked. Now it’s over and I can’t get anymore (customs). However, I now have the EC stack. Should I still ramp up to the full dose or still start at a half dose?
I am starting on RFL (have done it before w/o EC) and the rest of the plan is set.
Thanks in advance.

It’s up to you, but to be on the safe side start with half. Better to test your tolerance since there’s no way to know how you’ll react beforehand.
