Well I figured new place to live. New gym, new job and everything why not start a new journal as well.

I'm going to do a full 12 weeks using TP's carb cycling diet that I was doing before all hell broke lose at work.

All the details will follow. I'm planning on being super strict with this and a max of 4 cheat days due to the holidays.

There will be a learning phase when it comes to workouts since I'll be lifting alone now. But I feel the change will be good. I'm going to log everything workouts/weights/reps. and all food, even if there's a cheat throughout the day.

 

[Stacey]

nice journal name

GOOD luck with your goals!!!

 

[dvlmn666]

MWF: No Carb Days
Th and Su: Low Carb Days
Tu and Sa: High Carb Days

6 meals/day.
6am, 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm. and optional if I'm up late and am hungry maybe a shake before bed

Each meal has as much protein from the list (see below) as I want. With a minum of 45g/meal this is first before any carbs on either of the carb days.

On the high Carb days I can eat as much from the list (see below) as I want.

On the low carb days, meals 1-3 I eat about 50g of approved carbs.

I'll be starting on fitday to get the breakdown correct each day. I'm going to be taking creatine every day though so the no carb days will have a little carbs due to the creatine I will be taking. But that will be the only carbs for any days.

Approved Foods"

Protein:
Chicken
Tuna Fish
Ground Turkey
Turkey Burgers
Protein Powders

Carbs:
Oatmeal
All veggies
Potatoe
Brown Rice

This starts today for 12 strict weeks.
There will be a posible of only 4 cheat days through the holidays.

Tips and options are definately welcomed.

Goals:

Lose fat and get more definition. While maintaining size and strength. Hoping to actually gain stength and size but with the carb being cycled will be more prone to maintain.

Thanks dude, maybe you just have to start a journal so it wouldn't be so easy to think up titles.

Why does creatine = carbs? Only if it is in a transport. Straight creatine has none. Use that if you are really looking to cut, I'd advise no sugar.

Also, gains in a cycle like this are definitely possible the first six weeks. When your BF starts to get really low your strength will decrease however.

 

[dvlmn666]

I'm trying out the Plasma Expander by VPX. It has 26g of carbs in it's delivery system. I've only taken it the last 2 days. It's supposed to be a nitrogen delivery system, and doesn't give me a stomach ache like the Cell-Tech did. But I'll skip it if that's what you'd reccomend.

Ok so to be realistic I'll concentrate on gaining the first 6 and then try to maintain the last.

 

[Twin Peak]

Keep it for now if you like it when the pounds stop dropping, cut it.

 

[dvlmn666]

Ok sounds good to me, thanks for the advice.

Very Nice journal so far Dvlmn. I need to see a smilie every now and then.

Lina, I think that is so hilarious about the pinkie -- I do that!!!


D -- Have you added the Flax? You should really consider taking the gelcaps if you don't like the taste of the liquid form. I am liking it and even got the hubby on it.

 

[Twin Peak]

But you need to swallow about 100 gelcaps to get a TBLS full.

 

[kuso]

LMAO....100 of em eh?? A slight exageration maybe?

 

[kuso]

I think it`s actually 94
