What’s up fella’s, second time on your web (kick ass web site!!). When your cutting your calories, where should you be cutting them from. Taking it from your protien intake dosn’t sound sensible (but what does in body building ha ha!) and there are no carb basically to take from should it come from fat? If it does should i take it from the low end fats like choosing a leaner steak, cutting the mayo, leave out the feta in your kick ass “mess o’ greens” salad. or do i simply take less of the added fat from the flaxseed, primrose and fish oils. Considering i am as serious as i can be about my health in this punishing world of achieving thr sculpted rock hard and chieseled body. One last question. What woulb be the next best eating phase to dive into from The T-Dawg diet. Keeping in mind SUMMER is coming. Please also respond with a supplement regimen if you don’t mind. As far as seeing doctors “longevity specialists”, supplements such as clomid, proviron, nolvedex, cytadren, triacanna and so on, any other places to inquire about these things that are so widely talked about in are undergroung world. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DO!! LOVE WHAT YOUR ABOUT!! From one hard cor reader of T-Mag and know your web. Talk to you soon, Mike
hey mike,
if you need to cut your calories in the t-dawg diet, first you have to make sure you’re eating enough, but not too much, protein. 1.4-1.8 grams of protein per weight in kilograms (not pounds!) be careful however, not to eat too much protein or your body will convert some of the amino acids into glucose which will contradict what you’re trying to do! once you figure your protein requirements out, subtract the carbs allowed (30g without post workout included) the rest of the calories come from fat. it’s that simple! i’m doing this myself. my workouts are starting to suck but i like what the scale is saying! good luck…
one more thing, mike. i wouldn’t cut out the healthy fats like the fish, flaxseed or olive oils. i think it would be better to cut out the saturated fats (like the ones in meat) although, to tell you the truth, im not sure if it matters…as long as your total calories are what they should be.
i took in way over .8per lb of pro on t dawg an still had great results, a new t dawg is in the works where you’ll be eating just about much pro as ya want( as long as ya dont go over cals) remember getting into to ketosis in not required on this plan an eating more pro wont hurt your progress.it didnt hurt mine i ate more of a 1:1 ratio of pro an fat an my carbs just came from mrp after workout an whatever was the cheeses an letuce during the day. i kept track of my carbs anit usually only came out to bout 40 even on workout days.
Mike; I agree with Sandy. Cut the cals from the saturated fat (bacon, cheese, beef, etc.) and keep the poly/monos intact. Things like one piece of bacon instead of two; 1/2 slice of cheese instead of two.
You basically would transition into your “baseline” diet of defined macros/1gram per pound of protein diet. We all differ in what we follow, but we all should have a “baseline” diet, using the specialized “Testosterone” diets in order to accomplish specific goals (eg the T-Dawg which is to decrease the fat while maintaining reasonable LBM).
Supplements? MRP (Grow!), Supplemental Protein (Advanced), UDO’s, Multivitamin, Surge!, Creatine. Other supplments are really goal dependant (thermogenics, analogs, etc.) depending on what “cycle” we may be in (cutting, mass, etc.). Hope this helps.
Hey new dawg. The fundamentals of any such diet are that protein is in the 1-2gram per pound range and good fat should be around 15% of calories (to help with appetite and hormone levels).
