If you're cutting, there's no rationale for "confusing" or "shocking" the muscle. Those are euphemisms for stimulating growth, and nobody's growing any muscle while running a caloric deficit.

Not unless they're a complete novice, or on AAS (steroids).

If you're cutting, you'd want to keep your workouts fairly short and heavy, although I hear you on the joint pain. You do need a little higher-rep work now and again or you wear out.

But low carb, high fat is very satiating.

And pats of butter dabbed on a steak are delicious.

That was how I lost most of the weight when I first started trying to lean out.

Worked a charm.

Well I've never done a diet like that.
It would be awesome if I could have abs like yours in your avi, but I doubt that would ever happen naturally

even if I got close to it

Mine happened naturally, and the way I'm describing diet and training is the way I got them.

Keep in mind, I was a fat jogger before I figured this shit out. I struggled with my weight for almost twenty years, and was at 40% bodyfat at the age of 38 when I started.

Once I wrapped my mind around dieting off the weight, and training to retain muscle - as opposed to trying to train off the weight - everything finally clicked.

Dieting on low carbs and high protein and fat was CRITICAL to my success, because it suppresses hunger. I can NOT bear to feel the kind of hunger that comes along with a low fat, "six meals a day", "oatmeal for breakfast" kind of diet plan. For me, it's just too miserable to endure.

Oh....
well Im definitely not running a caloric deficit, I dont think

**Built** · 04-06-2009, 07:01 PM

Ah, then you'll be fine.

You will be a lot happier with your results once you define a clear goal, though.

Interesting,
WOW! may I ask your age now?..... I hate running/jogging! How old were u when u started training?
I feel ya on the diet misery!

**Built** · 04-06-2009, 07:09 PM

I was thirty eight.

I had been fat for almost twenty years.

And I was forty two in that picture. I did minimal cardio, high-fat dieting, heavy low-rep workouts, almost no direct ab work, and the hungriest I had to deal with was "peckish".

chiquita6683 · 04-06-2009, 07:19 PM

Whoa..........hmm, maybe I could do it. Idk, I am really happy right now, but summer is right around the corner. What would a typical day/diet be like?

**Built** · 04-06-2009, 07:39 PM

Depends how you do it.

What are your maintenance calories, and how much lean mass do you carry?

Hey Girl - give the diet a try... it's only for 12 days.. anyone can do it for 12 days. Seriously.. it's totally worth it. I was resistant at first also, but then I said.. "what the heck".

I dropped the weight I wanted to before our vacation.

12 days? what diet is this?
Im still trying to answer Built's questions, no diet yet.
I'll try something for 12 days

katt · 04-07-2009, 08:43 AM

I was talking about Lyle McDonalds PSMF diet.. check out Balin's PSMF log here. Not sure if this is the diet Built is suggesting, but it's the one I did.
