Looking to Get UnFat w/Super-DMZ

[TheGreatSatan]

So, an initial 2 weeks going low carb is not OK? I was just really wanting to get all the crap out of my system and kick off Ketosis

Perhaps you may want to start simple and not get so aggressive with your dieting right off the bat.

You need to learn new dietary habits, not just go on a 'diet'.

I thought there is a limit to how much protein your body can handle at one time.....

not at all...the body will digest any and all nutrients in the GIT. how much of that protein is utilized depends on the amount of LBM that the person has and the amount of muscle protein turnover induced by exercise, etc.

basically the more LBM a person has and the more strenuous exercise they partake in the more protein their body needs and can utilize.

I agree. You need to learn how to calculate what your maintenance cals are along with what your macros are. You are not understanding what intake vs output is regarding maintenance cals are. Do some research on that and you will understand that you can take in 2800 cals at your weight a good diet and ok workout and still lose 2lbs of fat a week. Approximately. AND WITHOUT ANABOLICs!

But anabolics are so much fun

 

[TheGreatSatan]

OK, no DMZ

Low carbing is fine if that is the way you want to do it and it is comfortable for you, but be sure to have a structured plan and make sure you are taking in enough cals/protein. I have a tough time getting in enough food when I am in ketosis.

Fitday.com is a huge help with planning and tracking your calories.

 

[Simply_Michael]

Serious best learner thread ever right here -, thanks huge knowledge here

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Totally. I created an account on fitday and I'll calculate where I'm at right now

 

[Marat]

Good stuff. If you have a smartphone, check out the FatSecret app -- that's what I use instead of fitday.

 

[TheGreatSatan]

It's day number four and I'm down to 257.5

I went to fitday and calculated my calorie intake. I'm averaging:

Calories: 1004
Fat: 26g
Carbs: 16
Protein: 177.4

True story, my tiny 96lb girlfriend is cutting to 18% BF and she is cutting on 1000 cals a day.

Get your cals up or I promise you will regret it.

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Alright I added a chicken breast to my lunch intake. That put me up to 1400 cals.

Tomorrow I will get a little more in me, but it makes me feel like a pig when I eat this often.

Morning:

2 eggs, cheese
2 Bacon

Noon:

Protein Shake w/2 Tbsp Almond Butter
Chicken breast

Night:

1/2 can green beans mixed into 6oz ground turkey
Protein shake (plain)


Cals: 2,083
Fat: 92.1
Carbs: 25.4
Protein: 284.5

great ..why are u fighting this . these are people with proven results. and dont give me the excuse of work . i work 700am to 7pm often 8pm ..but i brought tuna with relish. chicken breast (cause most workplaces have microwaves- get the steam and zip bags by ziplock ) also cooked tilapia in them. i brought salads and protein drinks. Yes my name says newbie but by far i am not . I just stick with my orginal names on all forums. but seriously these guys are right on the money and lets just say u up your calories and what the worse that can happen u get fatter than 265 ? which will not happen . cause ur already spiraling down and they are helping you .

yoda says there is no try only do ...

so buckle down . get ur ego in check . agree clearly they know more and trying to help you and have proven results. and just say even if u don't agree F IT ..and do what they say and then u will see the results. and i say this in love and not trying to hurt you or belittle you . but u tried it your way and it clearly isnt working so trust others

 

[TheGreatSatan]

So I tried that stuff and moved my calorie intake to 3000. I started gaining my weight back and was going the wrong direction!!

Anyway, I guess I'm special and require a more drastic solution. One protein shake for breakfast and another on the way home from work at around 7 p.m. and that's all.

On September 30th I was down to 260.5

I had two cheat days too. One of which I had a foot long sub and another day where I went to Five Guys and had a big burger and fries. BTW, Burger King is better.

This morning I'm down again to 251.5 which is about 14lbs total lost.

 

[ThisIsNotTheDEA]

I didnt read the entire log so fill me in.

Did you hang onto LBM during this cut? were you able to calculate your LBM pre-cycle and what it is now?

Are you PCting now?

Body mass? Fat. Like 33% to start

Are you PCting now?

What's that?

 

[cavtrooper96]

You should never eat less than BMR. Basic metabolic rate. Or the amount of cals you need if all you did was sleep for a day. Any less cals than that and you will be losing muscle.

 

[TheGreatSatan]

At this point I don't care. I have little muscle anyway and a lot more fat

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I've been working a whole lot lately. I am still on the extreme low calorie diet. Once every week or so I do have a cheat meal, but it's never a planned thing. Planning when I'll cheat just makes me think about it way too much in advance. I am currently at 241.5lbs and I started at 265.5lbs. That means I've lost 24lbs!!

My diet usually consists of some bacon in the morning (about 150 cals) then two protein shakes (1st in the afternoon and another in the evening) with a tbsp of peanut butter totaling 560 cals. I also drink 1.5 liters of water and that's it! Last week I was starving (or so it felt) and I stopped after work and had a Flamethrower burger and a large onion ring order and I still lost weight.

 

[Life]

It'l keep going then you'll plateau. When it happens to me I increase fat intake for a week then start over.

 

[stfuandliftbtch]

i love how people need to take stuff to loose weight...

It's really NOT THAT HARD.

Eat less. Move MORE!

 

[Marat]

How many calories are you eating each day? 560?

How much protein and fat are you getting in?

 

[TheGreatSatan]

About 140 grams of protein and not much more than 30 grams of fat each day

As of this morning I dropped another pound. I'm now down 25 even, at 240.5lbs. At 239lbs I drop to 'Overweight' status on my BMI. 240lbs is the where I became Obese.

 

[258884]

Could probably drop a few pounds cleanin up dem feet...DAMN Satan.

Just Kidding---good luck with the nutrition.

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Today was a milestone. I dropped to 235.5lbs, which is the 30th pound lost since I started less than two months ago!



Next cheat day: Thanksgiving

 

[awhites1]

Good job and congrats on the weightloss.

so what are you avg on your daily intake?...

 

[TheGreatSatan]

I'm still averaging just under 600 calories per day

 

[Marat]

I recommend that you reconsider your strategy. You are bound to gain the weight back.

 

[240PLUS]

Don't worry,you hve the same stats as I. Its hard to pack on muscle without consuming the calories. Hangin there.
