Just an update on how I feel!

Well all week I feel like my body is flat, compared to last week where I was maintaining a constant feeling of being pumped. I look OK in the mirror, other than I my gut of course, but it is a little demoralizing getting this feeling

IDF

Unfortunately this is sometimes the feeling and the blah of cutting. It doesn't happen all the time but you get use to it when it does.

Ok, this is not the most pleasant topic to post, but here it goes.

I have started to notice the last couple of days that I am becoming more constipated, I supplement with psyllium (metamucil sugar free) with my protein shakes. I eat veggies, mainly spinach in meals 3 and 5. Flaxseed oil 3 times a day, has dietary fibre, and so does the oatmeal and brown rice. I realize that higher protein diets can have this effect, but I am a little uncomfortable right now.

Any suggestions or should I have any concerns?

IDF

Drink enough water


DP

I generally get in 4-6 litres a day.

Doesn't make sense then...try to relax

Oh yeah I just found out I have a business trip to Virginia this week, I leave Wednesday and come back friday. I should be able to behave for that long. I am going to look for the nature's plus Vitamin and mineral supplements

I haven't been to their website for a while, but it may list stores and save you some time

Be consistent!

DP

Yeah it does list stores, already ahead of the game on that one. I am going to try to be as good as possible next week, at least it is only a short time that I have to work with.

I have a quick question though, as time goes along should I not be getting hungry. I usually just eat every 2.5 -3.5 hours just because I am supposed to. I am still noticing some weight loss, but shouldn't I have a hungry feeling on a cut a couple of hours after a meal. j/c

YES, you should be hungry...sometimes for the first 20 minutes after you eat, until the fat hits tha saiety centers...and then as early as 45-75 minutes later

Try to lower your portions by say 20% every other meal for a few days and see what happens! :Î ( <---what the hell is that)

Well, I am finally back, I leave for a few days and the ground is covered with an ice rink. I was stranded in Virginia for a few days, which wasn't a big deal, but didn't help with the meals. My meals were alright last week, but I was only able to get in 3 meals a day as I was at a job sight.

I am thinking of changing things around a bit and going to a 3 day split. instead of a 5 day split.

It will look like this

1)Chest/Back
2)Shoulder/ Arms
3)Legs

Mon 1)
Tues 2)
Wed Off
Thur 3)
Fri 1)
Sat Off
Sun 2)

And so on...

Anyway let me know your thoughts, I was doing a split like this last year and thought I made more progress during a cut, so I would like to try this route again.
