I’m 165 lbs. so I should be taking 1/3 cup of _________*…which has about 43 grams of carbs. A serving of Surge is 46 grams.
*I don’t know CW’s policy for divulging information about the program so I’m erring on the side of caution…believe me, though, the food I left out is nothing magical.

Not all carbs are created equal, I’m sure _______ have been chosen for a reason and I would follow the diet according to how it’s been layed out and only use Surge in the bulk phase, if at all.
Ok, I will just post a pic when I finish the 1st phase, which will be on Thanksgiving day…the perfect time to start a bulk!
Today was easy, diet went well, nothing really to report on. Today’s workout went well, felt good getting under that Heavy Iron, again.
Any News? I am on day 2 and feel pretty good. The work outs have been good so far and I am defiantly eating better.
I have a question about the snacks. For the first snack I have a hand full or 7 peices of cheese which is 9g of fat, 1g of carbs and 7g of proetin. For ther second I have a hand full of almods which is similiar but has 15g of fat.
I love cheese and almonds but would I have better reults if I have a serving of chicken or turkey breast instead for my 2 snacks?
CW calls of mixed nuts and cheese for the snacks so I htink I am improving a little by having almods already. I want the best fat loss results I can possibly get during the 12 weeks so want to improve on anything I can.
Thanks
Just figured I would contribute my bit to the thread as I started the 10/10 program on Mon. Nov. 12:
*Regarding PWO nutrition - Chad says it’s alright to swap out his recommendation in the book for a serving of Surge (per label recommendations). I emailed him this question as I really like Surge…he was cool enough to reply.
*I am admittedly hesitant re: the nutrition during the 2nd & 4th phases, BUT I trust Chad as a professional and have had success with his programs in the past. The way I see it, this thing is twelve weeks and I can give it a fair shot to see if it lives up to it’s billing.
*I’ll post results at the end of January '08 on this thread for those that are curious about this program. If I’m REALLY impressed with the results, then I just might post some before & after pics (holding, of course, the requisite shoe…)
Cheers!

Hesitant in what way? Too much or too little?
I’m starting this tomorrow. I’m wondering what you guys are doing for breakfast each day? Are you eating eggs everyday or switching it up with something else? If so what?
I choose between scrambled Eggs/1 chicken breast/minced beef + various vegetables.
Either way, it’s not something I get sick of and I actually like the diet suggested.
I’m not worried about getting tired of the diet, I’m actually the type of person that will eat the same thing everyday and never get burned out.
I’ve just been hearing more and more about food allergies and guess I was getting a little paranoid.
Honestly I’d rather just eat the sample diet he gives in the book everyday! I know, I’m lazy.
I have a question - so you say the cycles are 3 weeks of gain/ 3 of loss. Does the training alter SIGNIFICANTLY each 3 weeks? I just wonder since everyone preaches how you must stick to a program for a long time to get results and 3 weeks seems short. But obviously Chad knows his stuff. So does the program just change your diet every 3 weeks or also make big workout changes?
There are definite changes in the training for each phase - Chad’s philosophy on training advocates changing your program often - every 3-4 weeks.
It’s based around TBT (as are most(all?) of Chad’s workouts), but the intensity and exercises/approaches do vary in each phase.
Cool. I hope people keep up with this log and post results!
I am 1.5 weeks in and have lost an inch off my waist already. I really enjoy the training, the cardio is manageable, and the diet is good, too. I’ll post again at the end of the first phase w/ results.
G’day from ‘down under’. I have purchased Chad’s program but won’t be starting 'till the new year. Too many dietary/training distractions around Christmas time! It would be good to try to get Chad onto this thread to answer questions no? How could we do that?

Chad has a thread in the authors locker room - you may have luck getting help from him there - otherwise you could always send him an email.
I look diffrent and feel better already. Tommarow will be one week. I am enjoying this part so far, hopefully I like the next phase also.
I’m also giving this program a shot. I’ve just finished my first week and I am down about 3 pounds. I have a question for you guys though.
This is my first time ever being on a real diet. On days where I don’t have a cheat meal, I am eating somewhere between 1600 and 1800 calories. According to several calculators I have tried out, I am burning somewhere around 2800 calories per day. Is this too much of a deficit? I was just wondering if I’m too low or if I should just suck it up and live with it.
do you find it is the diet or the routine that is causing the weight loss? The answer is probably the combo, but if you could only do one or the other what would you pick?
Thx

To be honest, I really think it is the diet that is making a big difference for me. My training program was very similar to what CW suggests and I wasn’t seeing any body composition improvements. The only things I have changed now are my diet and I am doing 15 minutes of cardio twice a week per CW’s plan. If my weight loss is at least partially fat loss, I would have to say the diet is the major factor.
