Check out my new plan.

Hi All! Thanks for reading.
I've just completed four weeks of nothing but carbs and protein. I maintained a good diet and my normal workout schedule. I've decided to start using a pre-workout and recovery supplement to pick things back up. My goal is to be as big as possible without ph. Here's how I've got things going and lined up to keep going:
5am - wakeup
530am - breakfest, Casein
9am - one scoop Cellmass
930am -1pm Snacks and Lunch
3pm - Complex Carb/ Whey Shake
330pm - 2 scoops of Jack3d
4pm - Start Lifting
530pm - Finished Workout - One scoop Cellmass
545pm - two scoops Whey/ Cytocarb Sport II/ one scoop ON BCAA 5000/ Glutamine
7pm - dinner
9pm - Casein, Glutamine, Sleep

So? What do you think? (Mostly about the Jack3d and Cellmass) Any advice/ Constructive Critiscm will be much appreciated.

Unless you like having horrible hormone production, start adding in fats.

I maintained a good diet

ah no, you didnt.

There are ESSENTIAL amino acids, and ESSENTIAL fatty acids, but no ESSENTIAL carbohydrates. Do you know what your natural testosterone is created from ? Its created from the saturated fats you take in. No saturated fat intake means - no testosterone production. It will take a little time to reach there, but if you've gone a month with no fat intake you are probably pretty close already

Thanks for the info. How much sat fat are we talking here? The cheese on my sandwichs alone is 100% of recommended daily values.

[EasyEJL]

then why would you say

I've just completed four weeks of nothing but carbs and protein.

How about trying to track your diet and actual consumption in fitday or here on anabolic minds for a few days to see totals?

[bakerderek0]

I apologize for the confusion. That was stupid. I searched for a better way to word that.. I was trying to say I haven't taken any creatines, ph, etc... I've been all "natural"

[EasyEJL]

Ah "nothing but food"

whew, well I think rodja and I were both mostly concerned, as I know i've met people who created serious health issues for themselves by going super super low fat for a length of time.

But either way, tracking diet precisely in fitday will be handy. Jack3d is a nice preworkout, I like the geranamine feeling. cellmass is kind of expensive for what it is, you may find you get just as good results with plain creatine monohydrate

You need between 15-20% of calorie intake from fat. Depending on calories consumed, could be 50-100 grams or more. Good fat from nuts, natural peanut butter, flax seeds, virgin olive oil, and virgin coconut oil are your friends. F
