I've never heard of either of these supplements. That is helpful info. I understand the water idea as well. When I binge it is like I'm after that feeling of non-restricted eating. The freedom to feel stuffed after a big meal (like on thanksgiving). Water helps get there sooner especially...

in your low carb diet are you trying to establish ketosis. in that case alcohol won't kick you out.

oh an i agree with the diet rite suggestion. it is my fav by far. the raspberry and tangerine are the best IMO. and 0 sodium ;)

Fair enough, but I know people who drink insane amounts. like 12+ cans on a weekend.

I understand what you thought i meant. I did not mean I was eating like crap to get faster results (i.e. gain mass). I meant I wasn't eating enough and doing excessive cardio to get faster results loosing fat. Of course I just ignored the fact that I was loosing muscle as I actually looked...

i also understand i haven't give you that much information about me, but i didn't know that that was what was preventing you from entertaining my question as I was hoping. I am about 200 lbs., 5'10'', and caliper measures are about 10mm at the belly button and 8mm suprailliac. I could be...

fair enough. Of course I know I shouldn't have done a 12 month cut. I thought I made it clear that I recognized it was wrong and stupid. I understand that strict bodybuilders have more strict diets, but I believe anyone who wants to build muscle or loose fat has to in general go for cycles of...

listen...i know how to eat right. I just didn't for a while. I now just want to know what is most advisable for me to do (cut, bulk, or maintain). i read that thread months ago and simply didn't follow everything it advised. That article doesn't answer my question. It doesn't say "what to...

I never said I planned on eating a bunch of crap. I know how to eat clean and until recently my diet has been perfectly clean, though I was probably doing too much cardio. I don't eat junk food normally and until recently haven't cheated at all. I'm not looking for faster results. I thought...

well I know you can just maintain as well, but how does that help me out now?

I know how to eat right. For a long time though, i didn't eat right to get faster result. I know it was wrong, but this is my situation...there is nothing that can change that. I'm just trying to figure out if i should bulk even though I am not satisfied with my BF%.

So you don't think it matters that I've already been cutting more or less for a year?

My goals are to look good. I know I require less cals to build muscle, but my question is should I go ahead and bulk given my circumstances. I don't mind cutting, but I've lost a ton of muscle without gaining any back for a long time. I', weak as hell, but i don't know if it is worth it to...

i should say that I have no problem buckling down and cutting my cals again to cut, but I don't know if I'm just going to hurt myself since I have lost a lot of muscle in the last year without gaining any back. I know its possible for me to loose weight still as long as I eat the right amount...

excessive amounts may lead to extra sodium intake and the stuff dehydrates you which is counterproductive to anyone trying to make gains, but in general it can and is used successfully by many people all the way through a cut even.

the weight i've gained is from going off my diet. but the damage is still done, i have lost a lot of muscle mass regardless of my gainback. I just gained back some fat and a little muscle perhaps. I'm not kidding myself.

I've been cutting forever...like a year. I was down to about 180 and now I'm back up to 200. I think I've been cutting for too long and it is catching up to me. I have lost a ton of strength over the last year and I think my metabolism has slowed to a turtles pace. I would like to bulk, but...

i wouldn't worry about it, take some headache meds and push on bro

you should find your maintenence level and go for a less drastic caloric deficit that provides slow and steady weight loss of about 1-2 lbs per week. it is possible that you have been in starvation mode, but I highly doubt that you wouldn't loose weight if you actually were eating only 1500...

do some more research, many people are reluctant to put in the time and effort of planning a diet for someone. I mean, there are people who get paid to do that. If you want to build a good diet you need to put in some effort and research.
