Thread: I Need some advice on supplements

You might want to reconsider your training while cutting. You should be reducing your training volume so you don't lose mass. This will do more for you than any supplement.

You may not wish to carb cycle, but read this for some general guidelines on how to set up a diet.

thanks a lot for your advice but im not sure i understand the fats aspect of the diet. can you elaborate?

Did you read the article?

yes i read the article. i was just curious as to where those fats are coming from. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that what you are saying is that I need a certain amount of fat in my system to help that protein do its job. I'm guessing fats in things like ham steak and chicken would be the best? Also i was wondering why in the article it says that you should have one gram of protein per lb of lean body mass but then it shows the model having an intake of 163 grams when their lean body mass is 111.

Fats like avocado, olive oil, raw nuts, natural peanut butter, egg yolks, butter, coconut milk/oil, meat, fish oil...

I never said you should have one gram of protein per pound lean mass. I said no lower than one gram of protein per pound of lean mass.

ok my mistake. I'll have to study the article a little more in order to get my diet sorted out. This whole thing with eating fat when I am trying to build lean mass is a subject that is difficult to grasp.

Fats an essential macronutrient. You do need SOME. The guideline I offer is your starting point. For some, it's sufficient; for others, they may need more - or slightly less. If you're eating less fat than this, you will REALLY have to focus on the quality of your fats. Since there's no need to go lower - other than for short periods of time - stick with half a gram per pound lean mass as a baseline and gauge your comfort and your progress.

yep, gotta unlearn all the crap you've read and seen on tv and the magazines while people were trying to sell you something.

Are omega 3,6, and 9s good to have?

Yes. But only omega 3 is in short supply in most of our healthy bodybuilder diets. Supplement with fish oil for that one (10 a day is a good baseline), and eat plenty of healthy fatty foods for the remainder.
