Built and I have a deal; in 3 weeks I lose 9 lbs. If not, I back out. I'm ready to take it down-as I really believe this is in my grasp.

The take-home lesson is this: I used to believe that one size fits all in the realm of contest dieting. Not even close to the truth. I listened to the wrong person and got my ass kicked in trying to drop fat. I got stronger, and probably built some muscle, but the problem was the bodyfat was staying the same. I dont do well with carbs. I never have and never will. UD2 and PSMF and Palumbo's keto diet all worked, because that's what my body is made for! Try and listen to your body and it wont be as challenging as you might think to get leaner. I'm not shunning carbs-they worked beautifully when I bulked. I didnt care about a little fat. Now, the game changes and Built rescues me again. \Listen to your body and use what works!

If you stay strict with PSMF, you can squeeze out that much in water weight in three or four days.....I don't see a 9 lb. fat loss as a problem, even if you are much leaner (than I).

I think this applies to all (reduction) dieting. Everyone is physiologically different....at least to a degree in response to different diet approaches....and you have to consider that we may experience physiological (word of the day,lol) changes with time that require that we tweak our approach.

Bingo. This is universal. I've complained to M.A. about this many times. Between the kazillion variations on diet out there, and those (often "trainers" with good intentions) who simply give the same advice to everyone, it is easy to get screwed up. But, like you said, once you get your plan of action worked out, if you stay strict and pay close attention to your body's responses to various aspects of the diet, you will eventually know what's happening. For instance, the fact that I got into the peanut butter last night tells me that I won't be close to ketosis for another two days, as opposed to the fat burning state I could have been in right now, thereby screwing up almost a week's worth of dieting....It's all Curt James' fault, of course.

I think you'll do it,man.

Well to complicate matters even more, my wife gave me my fathers day gift (Metro 2033 was enough anyway), but she gave me an envelope today next to my bag for work and I opening it and low and behold...I'm going to Las Vegas July 11 to the 17.

Well, I suggest you get your meal plan together and start pre-cooking your food now. Wait a minute.....Dude, just pack my fave...

a couple of these bad boys, and one of these loaded with your favorite premium premium protein supplement...

, Or a beer belly..

and you're one-armed-bandit-bound.

**juggernaut** · 06-23-2010, 04:55 PM

I tried repping you and couldnt. LOLOLOLOLOL

Anyway, I'm going to give it my shot-and see where we are in 3 weeks -if I can pull this off with 9 lbs under my belt, I'm golden. I'll go to LV and get a shitload of protein and just IV the bitch with some shrimp and scallops. If it fails, I go back to UD2 and go a little slower. Either way, I still compete now or October.

Your kidding me right? Did you stir fry it or marinate it in the syrup and mustard and top it with arugla?

I put it in a wok and set to cook the flavors through...incredible. I put a bed of arugula to pepper it a bit. Came out beautifully.

I prefer Boars Head Deli Style mustard because it has white wine in it and the spices are unreal.

**juggernaut** · 06-24-2010, 09:02 PM

How goofy am I? I'm counting down the hours until my fat free ketogenic pancakes with strawberry syrup!! LOL

**J'Bo** · 06-24-2010, 09:08 PM

Use a blender on slow speed:

2 eggs
6 egg whites
1/2 cup cottage cheese (I like Friendship 1%)
2 tsp psyllium husk powder
1/2 baking powder (the one in the metal can)
a dash of cinnamon

blend for five minutes

Spray canola oil into a pan and and let the bubbles pop on the top. Flip and serve with Walden Farms pancake syrup.

**J'Bo** · 06-25-2010, 10:39 AM

thanks i will get one of my clients to try it out first. lol
no dairy for me until after the shoot but looks good .. might replace the silly-um with ground flax

ehhh I wouldnt. Psyllium Husk powder is better because it will dissolve.

**juggernaut** · 06-26-2010, 05:44 PM

Cardio only today. 60 minutes LISS. I get bored more than anything else doing that. Some light posing practice, and tons of fucking protein. Here's my diet in case anyone is curious:

Breakfast
keto pancakes
7 egg whites, 1 egg
psyllium husk powder
1/2 1% cottage cheese

Mid-Morning
2 scoops Dymatize whey and enough water to form a pudding with some cinnamon

Lunch
1 lb grilled chicken breast with WF syrup and deli mustard
3 cups greens

Late Afternoon
1 can tuna
2 egg whites
1 tsp psyllium husk powder
Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper

2 more scoops Dymatize

Bedtime
Walden Farms Chocolate Syrup
3 egg whites
2 scoops Dymatize whey
Mix it for 50 seconds on high, turns into a wet brownie...only way to describe it.
1/2 cup cottage cheese mixed in.
1 tbsp pb

Morning and Bedtime, 1 tsp cod liver oil (2x daily), multi 2x, calcium, magnesium, potassium.

All is said and done, approximately 400g protein...I fucking hate protein.

**juggernaut** · 06-26-2010, 05:54 PM

I just watched Book of Eli...what an ending and a good cast. Rent it!

You and I are like twins ... I get bored doing cardio too so I have to go when there is a good show on or else I will get off and scram ... I always try to mix it up though.

Oh and I am curious about your diet and love seeing what others eat so thanks. Wet brownie ewwwww. I hate protein too and cut out my powder this week. I just dont do well with it when I have such low carbs.

BALLS TO THE WALLS MY FRIEND !!

J'Bo, do what I do, split up: do the first thing you hate and the last thing you love. for me, watching paint dry is more exciting than using a treadmill. Biking hurts my ass, so I only stay on for 15 minutes and I always end off on the elliptical.

5 more days until a massive carb refeed...cant friggin wait!!!

Man, five more days? That'slike a freakin' eternity.....*takes a bite of his donut.* You're just at the beginning of your cycle, wow. *spins pasta onto his fork*......But you'll be okay, just hang in there,buddy...*rolls ice cream scoop number three into a bowl, on top of three bagels with chocolate syrup..oh, and a banana*

You'll do great!
