Years ago I ate a lot of peanut butter trying to gain weight. My body has developed an aversion to it. I can eat peanuts but if I eat peanut butter I start to belch in less than 5 mins. It’s crazy, I know.
An outstanding reference! I’ll always be partial to Mr. John Candy
But there’s also King of the Hill
This is making me very hungry!! Good luck!!
@s.gentz Thanks man! I’m thinking of wearing my t-nation barbell club t-shirt to rep the brand.
@TrainForPain Sorry for turning the thread into this, haha. This will be SOME sort of transformation though!
Good day to do it, too. The fourth will be with you…
Just don’t post the before and after pics of the burger’s transformation!
Trying to catch a heart attack on my birthday are ya?
I can’t be killed by meat.
Well I’m calling it good here
In January I cut out all grains M-F but the weekend pizzas kept weight pretty steady. Also haven’t tracked a workout since December, just going by feel. March is where the real transformation began:
-
No grains expect on 3 occasions. Increased fruit and veggie intake by an absurd amount with it being almost exclusively organic
-
Stopped smoking weed. This has been something I’ve struggled with trying to quit for a while but the past couple months have been pretty easy to get through without it
-
Daily cold plunges. Usually for 2 mins give or take 1 minute at 40 degrees F.
-
Daily walks. Once to twice on weekdays, 3-4 times on weekends for 2-5 miles at a time.
Overall expenditure is trending nicely, I expect to have another good update in August for the check in, especially as it gets nice enough for mountain biking.
Pretty happy with how things went despite only losing 4 or so pounds. Lot of lifestyle changes I plan on continuing and building on. Ready to eat more, log workouts, and get back on the grind!
Definitely, great work.
I’m calling it great work!!! You are looking amazing dude!
Fixed that for you. Looking solid as always mate
How long do you give it before you decide fat loss has stalled and it’s time to make adjustments to training or diet?
I started the V-Diet about 16 days ago. I lost seven pounds in the first ten days, but the scale hasn’t budged since. Mathematically, I don’t see how I can’t be losing weight, but the scale says otherwise.
What do your dinners look like?
If you haven’t lost 1lb in the last week - its time to increase cardio by 5min/day (or 1 hour/wk).
Alternatively, you could deepen your deficit, but you’re already following a diet that is set in stone.
7lbs in 10 days is such a dramatic drop that I’d expect the body to go “wtf” and hold on for a while after that.
You say “fat loss” in the question but are talking about weight on a scale here. 2 different things entirely.
One thing I noticed while just finishing up the velocity diet is that my weight dropped pretty dramatically in the first week, and I then stopped weighing myself for the rest of the 3ish weeks. I weighed myself out of curiosity last night after being a couple days removed from being strict on the diet (I’m still drinking shakes throughout the day). While my weight hasn’t really changed at all since that first week at the beginning of the diet, I am still leaning up.
Yay for increase in muscle mass!
Roughly speaking, 4-6 oz protein (chicken, 90/10 beef) mixed vegetables, either oats or sweet potato on workout days.
True. Not really sure how to tell the difference between the two, though. I swear I look different every time I glance in the mirror–sometimes better, sometimes worse.
Gross. But maybe.
