I would agree with that. I would like to get to 10% and stabilize there. I am comfortable with my size and will be fine not bulking in the future and just putting on lean lbs in a slow consistent fashion.
Squat went down significantly. but that is a matter of leverages. droping body fat reduces leverages and also decreases ability to push off the mass in the hole. I would say my 'strength' has stayed just not 'peaked' if that makes any sense.
My diet works for me. I'm not perfect but i do eat nearly an all organic unprocessed diet and there are lots of restuarants in Portland that feature fresh local organic foods (we have a huge hippie culture but makes for great good food choices).
I don't normally supplement protein but i started the first 6 weeks or so doing that (with True Protein using stevia) but have dropped that again. I hit 175-250g protein per day in whole foods and
flat mega dose BCAA's. Taking 60-80g/day depending on if I train or not.
Non training days I rely on fats (EXVOO, walnuts, cashews) and meats and take in 0-60g in carbs. With carbs AP is taken 15min prior.
On training days (3per week) I bump the carbs by another 100-120 preoworkout with
Pslin. This seems to keep my metabolism roaring when I go minimal or zero carb days.
I eat a fair amount of greens and vegtables and also make fresh juice every mornign from items such as chards, spinach, pea tops, kale, then spice it up with apple, ginger or lemon. (AP prior of course)
I may have been fat but I do know how to eat. I dropped out the carb sources, cut out dairy, and cut out cheats on
ice cream, pizza, ect (and yes those are usually from some lame hippy food sources as well...what can i say
)
