| Registered User | Frustrated with diet results. Need some advice Over the past 6 weeks I've followed a very strict diet without a single day of cheating and my gains have been shitty at best. I focused on low GI foods with low calories and working out at least 4 times a week. Here is the diet. breakfast 4 eggs + cheese + turkey + salsa snack sliced turkey lunch chicken breast + veggies snack cheese of my choice dinner 10oz salmon + veggies Before Bed 100% whey shake in water ** I also take fish oil, mutli's and clen According to fitday this works out to around 1500 cals a day. I started 6 weeks ago at 219 with a 21% bodyfat and I am now 208 with a 21% bodyfat. what the hell is wrong with me? ![]() I attached a PDF of my results tracking |

| NutraPlanet Representative | Well those results confused me a bit since you had your LBM go from 171 to 163. Also you say your 20% body fat with a 35 inch waist? Either your calculations are off or something is askew. Overall at 220 you are way to low at 1500 calories, your body is in a fight called starvation and holding onto body fat (although I am surprised you still aren't noticing more OVERALL weight loss.) What is your current training regiment look like? How long have you been eating clean and training (Did you all of a sudden just jump down to 1500 cals from where you were at before week 1?) Have you had any supplement experience prior to Clen? Quality Products, Quality Service, Quality Prices NOW AVAILABLE: NutraPlanet TNT Stack™ |

| Registered User | Ignore the waist measurement. It is really a measurement of my Stomach from the belly button around to my back. My actual waist measurement is far less i wear a size 32" pant so.. it should be around there somewhere. The bf measurement is using some device i got online they are basically battery powered calipers that do the math for you. My measuring technique may be off since the trainer at 24 hour fitness measured me at 19% last week. My diet before this was at 2400 cals which was suggested for weight loss but at that intake level I didn't lose any weight for 4 weeks. So I turned to a more drastic diet and went to 1200 which also didn't offer any results. I went up to 1500 and started noticing results and I've stuck with that for a while. I've used supplements for a while and had a brief time with pro hormones a few years ago. I've been training for years (6) but I've never tried a serious cut.. it has always been bulking. Then I stopped lifting for a while due to work and weight remained the same but bf% increased which is why I am cutting now. So I've been trying various things to see what works for me in cutting.

| NutraPlanet Representative | Was the 2400 calories a no carb diet as well? Also what does your training look like? Quality Products, Quality Service, Quality Prices NOW AVAILABLE: NutraPlanet TNT Stack™ |

This diet isn't a no-carb diet per se' but rather a low-gi diet.. basically all my carbs on this diet come from veggies only. The previous diet was a 40/40/20 diet. Carb sources were brown rice, veggies, oatmeal and fruit. I also used more supplements (muscle milk) then i do now. So it did differ from my current diet in some ways but still was rather healthy. | |

| MST Reppin Hard! Board Sponsor | Why arent you cheating? some of the best results i've ever gotten during a cycle was with taking a meal or two out of the week to have whatever I want. Shocking your system isn't always all bad...in fact...it usually helps. Same as with your routine. I change mine every 3-4 weeks.

The past few months it has solely been broccoli but before that it was the bags of frozen mixed vegetables you get in the grocery store | |

| NutraPlanet Representative | That is basically a low carb diet/keto diet with no refeeds. Sounds like you would be better off adding in some carbs and bumping up the calories. That plus adding in some cardio to your training should help jump start the fat loss (also if you like low carb diets look into trying out the Anabolic Diet or a CKD diet.)

Some diets/people will advocate allowing your self anything on these days. Pizza, beer, anything. Now although you will still probably still have a net lose of weight for the week I personally find all out binge days as part of a weight loss period a waste of time. I am eating healthy on Saturday during my carb ups and still loving all the food I eat (and I know how many calories I'm putting into my body to avoid any unnecessary fat gain.) Again its up to you how you run your diet but thats my .02 Quality Products, Quality Service, Quality Prices NOW AVAILABLE: NutraPlanet TNT Stack™ | |
