CSH: DP's Headstart
Brief explanation: Every March/Oct.......I usually get very lean (BF in the 5's), just for shits and giggles....I think it also allows me to maintain a lower set point for BF Year-round, seldom going over 8% except during this last group Holiday bulk which I have as yet to recover from...pushed 10%, now near 8%. Then a "little birdie" says to me, DP...why so strict...you don't have to get super lean...you look fine the way you are....so I started a "slow cut" to preserve LBM.....lol
That Ended here: http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/sh...222#post332222 Several reasons...... Not only do I like to be lean...I like to be consistent and disciplined. Since I demand this, and Accountability in those I coach/train...I should be able/ready to perform myself..... My last journal tells of how I was just taunted into a "I'll compete if you compete" situation, and what came out of it..was a discussion between me and w8.....Leah saying, "After I'm tired of sugar in two weeks, why don't you cut w/me untill my July show?" (I will not be competing btw) WELL I HOPE TO HELL SHE TIRES OF SUGAR SOONER THAN THAT !!! Hence...DP's Headstart!  The Culprits: For me, I eat clean and don't cheat.......much, but there are a few things that keep me from greater leaness.. 1) Nuts (WTF is MP thinking when she buys a bags of shelled Macademia nuts, or a big can of cashews...or has 4 jars of Crunchy peanut butter in the Pantry?)...just say mor....er...no DP  2) Cheese...my biggest weakness.....It's freakin everywhere too, not a bad food, but extremely high sodium and calorically dense 3) Alcohol...medicinally for stress reduction....WTF is there so much stress  4) Coffee....it blurrs my definition, with 3 T of cream and then another 15-20 grams of fat in the following meal....not good......guarana seems to be everything coffee is and more 5) Lastly...taste testing.....working with so many low carb goodies, and new bars...., I'm gonna have to trust others and stop the sampling....not only the initial sampling, but the day in day out ripping open of a bar or something open for a customer to try...and then feeling obliged to finish it off instead of wrapping the remainder for the next day, or throwing it away...THIS STOPS NOW (as of Yesterday actually) I'm replacing these culprits with a bit more Flax oil 2T a day.....more Protein, and I estimate calorically a reduction of about 150-200 calories a day as it averages out over a week, ironically carbs will remain close to what they have been, and meals consistent except the small tweaks as mentioned.....this almost could be called "Cleaning Up!" Meal Accountability to follow... DP |

So I've been trying to figure how to quantify this.......
I figure I'll average 5 meals a day for 3 days a week, and 6 meals a day for 4 days a week......further, I figure I'll average 300 P on the 5's and 350 on the 6's (less in meal 6) So that makes my average Protein......330/day My carbs will hit 35 for 3 days, 60 for 2 days, and 80 for 2 days, not cycling...more like just the way is goes So that makes my average Carbs....55/day Fat hits 100 3 days a week, 120 4 days.....average fat per day 112 Throw it all together......330 P 55 C and 110 F or 2550 calories a day...I figured previously to DP's headstart...2800/day DP |

Actually, when bulking I eat more like 140 F a day....
The main reason is that when I gave up the bulk of sugars and starches in my program over 4 years ago, after being fat all my life, I became lean...I also became a fat "Oxidizer" ...Not having sugars to rely on, my body readily accepts fat as fuel....no loss of energy (increase actually)...and hopefully when I run out of dietary fat, my body says "Hey, we like fat....let's burn some of this guys bodyfat....(and must be working, I'm always cut)" From another post some other reasons: fat satiates, slows gastric emptying, delays gluconeogenesis, the conversion of protein to sugars (it takes about 20 minutes)......and you will have less desire to binge! For more info see threads in the Best Nutritonal Thread section, and articles on the forums main page! |

Right now, that's what my program calls for....I usually acclimate in 20-25 days, progress stops, and I change it at that time...those shakes are actually a change from the Ultrasize Pudding I was doing 2 X day.....3 scoops plus a whole egg, sometimes plus 1-3 T of cream.....
My BR today will show that I am getting pleasing results after only 6 days |
