I am taking the day off to hit the books so one day I can be an aspiring Physical Therapist. No Sweating 2day!

What are your total dailey calories at?? It seems like you have been cutting for ever and may benefit from a week at maintenace calories? Also, do you really think you have hypoglycemia? I think you gain weight when you eat a lot of carbs for two reasons:

a) like everyone......you eat a ton of carbs, you hold a shit ton of water (every gram of glycogen stored=about 3g of water stogage.....EEK!!!)

2) you are probably, also like everyone else, underestimating how well your metabolism (a) is and (b) can be running. You may be undereating or undercarbing and sacraficing some results that you may itherwise be seeing.


Just my 2 cents.


*p-funk makes his exit*

Well I was out for a month. I was eating at maintence the whole time. My daily cals are at 1900 - 2000. I'm seeing results now. As far as the hypoglycemia went, I took the day to refeed and I am doing well now. I finally measured my Bodyfat and it says 8%. I don't know If I am doing it wrong but I did it like 10*. My goal is to get down to 168. Then I am going to bulk. Should be sometime by the end of this month.

You may be able to still lose weight at a slightly higher amount of calories. especially if you are doing cardio and using that to create a caloric defecit. The more cardio you do the closer your cals should be to maintenace because the cardio should create a sufficient caloric decefit to yield weight loss and hopefully spare muscle. Where as if you were to drop cals down, almost as if you were to do no cardio, and then proceed to do cardio and increase your caloric defeit and risk muscle loss.

Just an idea??

Also, how are you taking your bf%? You can probably do a three site test on yourself but that is really not all that accurate. You need someone to do a seven site test you so that you can see how much you are holding all over your body, especially on the back. Back fat is pretty common for guys.

peace,

This is the Site I was using to check my BF. Also I do HIIT 3 times a week at the most. 15 - 20 min. My lifting is 5 times a week with on bodypart a day.

http://www.brianmac.demon.co.uk/fatyuhasz.htm

okay, so you had to have someone do the test on you because you would not be able to get your back by yourself. CAliper readings are about 3-5% off in either direction, and differ deoending on the person who is doing the test. So it sounds like you are doing pretty good.

Yea, I had my mom measure my back. Yea I just did it again i came up with 10%. Oh well as long as I am low.

anyway, what i was saying was that your training regemine just sounds like a lot of work and you may benefit from eating a little more calories, still be losing fat, and retaining and maybe even building more muscle.

I see. What do you suggest as far as cals?

well, you are at 1900-2000cals now......what is your caloric maintenace set point at? also, whe you had the small break, do to an operation wasn't it, did you gain any weight when you were at caloric maintenance? More importantly did you gain any fat?

I believe so. I was really eating pretty much anything. Maybe 1lb or 2. I assume my maitenence is 2500 to 2500 cals never really tested it.

i think you should try eating maybe 2200cals for a week and see what happens, if you still lose .5-1lb then you can maybe even go higher than that. At 10% you should be refeeding about every 3-4 days to keep leptin and your metabolism in check. At 10% you have a lot of muscle and I think you can probably eat a little more cals. Also, if you were eating whatever you wanted and only gained 1-2lbs of REAL fat, not water and you didn't really know how many cals you were eating then you probably have a pretty smoking metabolism.

It was some water because when I started dieting again. I did loose some of the water weight. I mean there wher days when i ate Quiznos ice cream. But that was only the first 1 or so. After that i was eating a ton of carbs and protein shake etc. I was going to the restroom 3 times a day sometimes I dont know if that helps.

yeah, if you were eating all of that and didn't gain a "legitimate" lb of fat (most of it was water) then I think you are underestimating your metabolism. You could probably eat that many cals and now, with all the work you are doing inthe gym, you could probably still lose weight.

I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.
