the "180" diet

[10bathroomsO]

So i was ridin shotgun on the way to the beach for the weekend. Picked up a magazine to read and it had a article called the 180 diet in it. I read it four times possibly. Im going to give it a shot and see what 60 days will do for me.
the diet requires me to strip juice, pork, dairy, fast food, etc. out of my diet and only include - eggs, rye toast, fish, chicken, turkey, & oatmeal

and only take in 180 g of carb per day

i imagine i will get weaker at first but who knows might come out in beast mode

Sounds pretty standard to what a lot of people on here already do, just with a gimmick - "180". It 100% works though. I try and hit 50/30/20 (p/c/f) in my daily macros which puts me at about 160-180g carbs. You can expand your diet past just those 6 items though b/c it'll get old really fast. Just make sure you're consuming complex carbs that are low glycemic, lean protiens, good fat (natty pb, EVOO, etc...) and fiberous greens. Same basis and principals as "180", just more variety.

I read that article about 4 times myself. It involves eating 180 grams of carbs a day, then you drop it by like 50g per day until you get really weak, or stop losing or something. Then you bump it back to 180 and do the cycle again. Seem odd to me...keep us updated on how it goes 10bathrooms

today was my first day for breakfast i had 4 boiled eggs and 4 thick cut slices of turkey breast. havent had my protein shake yet today but
so far my carb intake counting my post work out creatine shake has been 58 g
fat intake has been 21 g
protein 42 g
somewhere extremely close to that area.
My chest, bicep, & tricep work out today was good

today has been different. i woke up this morning, usually i am starving, but my appetite was gone. ive been up for almost 3 hours now and havent ate. im about to make myself eat something.. not sure what yet considering im at my girls house but i guess i have to put some type of carbs in my system.

:::UPDATE:::
early symptoms
3 days: loss of appetite
3 days: energetic without a moderate carb intake so far
3 days: have a dry feeling ( not sure how to explain ) but my pumps are coming quicker and my energy is lasting just as long but i have a bad feeling this will slowly diminish and ill be feeding off of every bit of energy i can find

thumbs up on the diet so far, noticable diffrence in the lower abdominals
the v area

oh yeah
as far as progress has been for progress sake:
I added a new supplement to my roster; Prime by USP

labs. I started taking yesterday in attempt to get it in my

system effectively as quick as possible. Im taking prime

with a protein and a creatine.
As far as the diet has been. Good! ( one exception )
I cheated friday night. While at a party I ate two

hotdogs.
It doesnt bother me much because saturday morning i

woke up and ran 3 miles only stopping twice.
Thats was cardio.
Later that day I did about an hours worth of push ups

and crunches.( this was an off day )
Over the next week im going to stop eating at 7:00 pm.
Im going to take in up to 70% of my daily carb intake

before I work out.
The only post workout carbs I will consume is my post

workout creatine and a protein shake blended with oats

for extra carbs
i plan on my carb intake being around100 grams or lower im thinking 80
then next week i will jack it back up to 180

thanks for all feedback

later
