My DCP on CKD log.

[Leggo my Ego]

Day 12

Weight as of this AM: 211lbs

Yesterday's macros:
Total Cals: 2740
Fat: 190g 1711 65%
Carbs: 11g 40 2%
Protein: 223g 894 34%

Today is a non-workout day. Busy day with work, will try to do cardio and abs... Have I ever mentioned I hate doing abs? You can tell by the pics

Despite the fact that I spend most of my time in ketosis, and calories are low, I truly feel like I am gaining muscle while losing fat. Strength is same, no more/no less than before DCP but my muscles are harder, I feel and look leaner and weight isn't exactly falling off like it was before (water retention could be a factor). So far I am happy.

Probably the only hinderance to my fatloss is my laziness in doing cardio. I feel if I was doing cardio every morning my progress would be heightened... Time to start doing cardio I guess

You are right. Same goes with abs... for me anyway

yup......i just end up doing side bridges (yoga move) for my abs....works pretty much every trunk muscle and you do 3 seets of 30 sec or 45 secs or 60 secs...depending what ya feel like, give the trunk a great workout and doesnt seem to make you "bulge" like some ab workouts do (i dont want to have abs that stick out further than my chest..even though i kinda have them now, i dont want them getting any worse)

Nothing new to report. I'll be doing my "B" workout today: Biceps, legs, traps

Will report back after that

222 lbs to 211? That's a'niiiiice!

[dsade]

Agreed...this log is one of my favorites for sure.

[Leggo my Ego]

Thanks for the support guys! This log helps me stay on track and keep motivated (even on those nitty gritty ketogenic, flat muscle, no pump, no strength workout days)

My next refeed will be saturday, but it will be a clean, lowfat, moderate calorie one. I went nuts last carbup and it took me a few days to shed all the water I gained from the 4000+ calories

[mpkonig]

man....13 days and 11 lbs......i envy you hehe

im thinking of cutting down on the AP and starting on a low carb diet also....im not used to eating carbs that i constantly feel guilty every time i do...even thoug hi know they are healthy non-shi* carbs...i still feel guilty

[Leggo my Ego]

Well, I was 222 lbs 3 weeks prior to the administration of DCP. The day I started DCP I was 214 lbs. I believe those 8 lbs I lost before I started the DCP was, for the most part, water. Now I will say this, I don't think that the scale paints the whole picture as the weight is not really dropping a whole lot but evey time I step foot in the gym (mon, wed, fri), I keep looking leaner and leaner. I have now lost at least a few inches around my belly, And I could sound completely insane but I think that I have actually added muscle on this cut which I didn't expect.

Also, I bumped my calories approx. 400 cal per day when I started DCP to gauge the effects and stave off any muscle wasting effects that may occur with the combonaition of the afformentioned weightloss supplements

Either way, I am very very pleased with DCP thus far and am certain that it is a must have for anyone who wants to lose fat while maintaining (or building) lean tissue simultaneously.

This is becoming a more common feedback note...actually adding muscle mass while dropping bodyfat.

I 100% agree. I have put on some lean body mass while maintaining/dropping body fat%.

Eggo, once you come off CKD, I would add some anabolic pump to your supp stack so that when your carb delpleted body starts getting used to storing those carbs again, fat cells will have inhibited storage capacity and most of it will be fed into your muscles. Just my two cents.

Even better, USP and I are exploring the possibilities of AP taken with Kwick Karb.

Let me know when you are going to come off of CKD, and I might throw in the WMS part of the stack.

sweet

Awesome! Let me know what you guys find out. I'm going to throw down for a kilo when I get home, tonight.

If you log this eggo, I'd be VERY interested to see how it affects you after CKD.

I just may have to do that...

[dsade]

Oh, you must...you must.

I'll be trying this when I get some WMS from NP

body weight as of this AM: 210 lbs

Yesterday's macros:
Total Cals: 2920
Fat: 212g 1906 67%
Carbs: 16g 64 2%
Protein: 218g 873 31%

Today was a nonworkout day. Very hectic and didn't record macros very well so when I post tomorrow, they will be estimates.

Check this out... I went in to the tux shop to get refitted due to all the weight I've lost and I was impressed with my new measurements. Now I am wishing I took measurements at the beginning of this log... oh well

12/18/2006 1st time I got fitted
Neck:17.5"
Chest: 44.5"
Overarm (around shoulders with arms down): 53"
Waist: 35"

02/01/2007 Today's refitting
Neck:16.5" -1"
Chest: 43.5" -1"
Overarm (around shoulders with arms down): 53" same
Waist: 33" -2"!!!

Like I said, I really wish I would have started the log off with detailed measurments(arm, waist, chest, shoulders, thigh, calf) but oh well.

I just about pooped my chonies when he said 33" waist! I thought my pants were getting way loose!
