Honestly, just do this. You need to let the process happen. Lyle wrote those refeeds in for a reason.
Bah, wait the three weeks. You seem to thrive on the suffering.![]()

Sunday's Projected Totals
865Calories,14.4g Fat, 9.5g Carbs, 165.8g Protein.
Well, today's Free Meal was cancelled out by last nights semi-conscious bout with the peanut butter.So, today its protein and fibrous veggies.
Today we came back to the restaurant, prepped, cooked, weighed and packaged all of my wife's food for the week (mine stays here) so she should be able to start her plan and I should be able to keep things strict. My plan this week is to attempt to increase my protein intake as much as possible while getting fat and carbs down to record lows.....I will also tighten up on supplements..seem to have slacked off on the fish oil the past week or so, so that goes back in. I will also make more of an effort to concentrate on compound work this week....even if I have to clear the idiots off of the racks.
Lets see if we can make this crazy plan a little crazier.![]()
Interesting! What plan do you have worked out for your wife, and is she agreeable to this? As I recall, she had some idiot trainer friend at the gym or something.
Definitly taking it up a notch. Whats gotten into you?
I'm just getting psyched up for the last three weeks of the 12-week cycle.....and I'm feeling like a slacker over the peanut butter incident....I tore that junk up, lol!
Plus, in a wierd sort of way, I'm kind of apprehensive about the up-coming refeeds. Yes, this sounds completely rediculous, but I am concerned that they (even though I fully understand their function, purpose, and importance) will bring progress to a screeching halt, or turn this thing into a weekly roller coaster ride.
Hush woman! ...they might be lurking, lol!
Basically, I have tried to put together meals that are (secretly) very similar to what I have been doing, with a little more flexibility on the fat. We're going with the 1g of protein per/lb of "bodyweight" minimum (debating on this vs. the 1g x LBM) with a reasonable (not a truckload) of steamed/saute'ed fibrous vegetables. As far as her caloric intake, I'm thinking 10cals per lb. would be a decent starting point...we'll tweak this as needed. Haven't even mentioned carbs (via sweet potatoes, etc.) just yet. She seems happy with 1-2 servings of (relatively) lean meat and a side of veggies. Tonight I will address supplements. Like many folks, she has gotten away from these...as far as I know. The workout thing? Well, I will just have to get her in the gym with me, or right after I work out, and try to keep her away from the yuppie machines. She really seemed more interested in plate loaded machines than I thought she would, so I'll just work from there.
Set the minimum at 1g per pound LBM to feed the part you want to keep. No need to feed the fat, that's what I tell myself... .
Secondly, this approach is a LOT easier to deal with day to day. I'm only taking in, what? 160~190 grams a day, and this seems tough sometimes. (with whole foods only, that is)
So, I suppose I will resume the diet for the next two weeks, and then move into category 2.
OH THE GUILT! WHY!? WHY!? EVERYTHING WAS GOING SO WELLLLL.

All this guilt because you ate half a jar of Jif? LOL!
Sounds like a strongly worded letter to the manufacturer of that peanut butter is in order!
Well, that and....Uh, please refer to posts made at 9:35 and 10:36...they were involved as well.![]()
No you didn't!
You actually went at it like that?
What the hell happened?
Did you iron will turn to pudding?
I plead diminished capacity. I went nucking futts.
Not exactly sure why, really. I suppose all of the discussion about refeeds was stuck in my noggin....well, I did one on the fly. Of course, with all of the WRONG foods, and for the WRONG period of time. Started out innocent enough, just a little teensie weensie bit of peanut butter... but then I thought, what the hell...let's see how much crap I can consume in an hour.
IT'S ALL BUILT'S FAULT!! SHE TOLD ME TO DO IT!![]()
No worries....I'm back on the wagon.![]()
Ha ha haaaa! Oh man... good stuff!
You're right, it's not a big deal. No one gets fat from a single hours binge.
I bet you showed those pop tarts who was in charge though!
