Jodi, Need your input

Hey Jodi,
It's SVEN, got a ? for your expertise. I am on a very hi protein, lower carb, lower fat & "almost" no sugar diet right now for a mass cycle . I just came off a stricter version of the same thing last month when I was cutting. My prob is my sweet tooth late at night. I work crazy hours in the restaurant business & sometimes I get home at 4-5 am & NEED something sweet. (Apples, yogurt r not always satisfying it)
Since I am bulking right now & not cutting anymore I allow a little sugar in the daytime but no good can come of night raids!
What do u think?...Just deal w/ it...??? "MUST HAVE DOUBLE STUFFS!!"
PEACE, s

Why are you low carbing it if you bulking

**SVEN73** · 08-19-2003, 10:38 AM

I am "lower" w/ the carbs. I gain lbs at the drop of a hat.

**Jodi** · 08-19-2003, 10:40 AM

How low? This is the reason for your sugar cravings.

You need to eat healthy carbs.

**SVEN73** · 08-19-2003, 10:47 AM

Yup..you r right.
Not counting, just making a conscious effort to intake smart carbs, keep intake "reasonable" & not after dark. In this new cycle I am much more lax but "trying" to still b smart.
P.S. Also Vitamin EQ is making me hungry

You won't gain much quality mass without a good amount of quality carbs

**ZECH** · 08-19-2003, 10:48 AM

Sounds like to me, your diet is not where it should be. Post your diet and Jodi can help you with it!

**Jodi** · 08-19-2003, 10:52 AM

Yeah, I'm willing to bet your diet could use some work.

Thanks DG, like I don't have enough to do

You can help to ya know

**SVEN73** · 08-19-2003, 10:53 AM

Diet discipline is not my strong point. On past cycles I just ate EVERYTHING slower moving than me. I put the ex fat on & just cut after the cycle. I want to keep the EXTRA fta to a min. this time. I find it much easier to regulate my carbs than my sugar intake. I have always craved sweets.

Read it as soon as u posted it. Increased my flax-seed oil intake because of it.
Seriously, I know u don't need to study another whole diet, I read your threads & you have a ton on your plate. I cut & paste them into my diet folder anyway.Your knowledge is very impressive.
Not only that, you would cringe at my "on-cyc" diet. Like I said, I was used to eating everything to gain mass & after I would deal w/ the extra. Just seems that at 32, it is harder to build LM w/o the fat.

**ZECH** · 08-19-2003, 11:12 AM

I think it is just easier to gain fat as your metabolism slows. Flax oil helps this along with frequent meals and proper exercise.

**SVEN73** · 08-19-2003, 11:12 AM

Sorry DG, I should have said thanx in that last reply 2- U- 2

**Jodi** · 08-19-2003, 11:14 AM

I don't mind helping you really.

Just this morning I added 2 links at the bottom of that thread from an article Elzi Volk wrote

I highly recommend it

**SVEN73** · 08-21-2003, 04:45 AM
