Ultimate Diet 2.0 Discussion Forum
First thing is first, I am just a shmoe starting UD2, all I know of this diet, and this lifestyle is what I have read, and what I will follow within the guidelines of this book, and other things I have learned that can play into the main goal of UD2 (the way I am doing it to get cut)....
This forum,because I did a search and could not find one, is for the people who really do know about UD2 and anyone who is going to do the diet to ask questions and learn more about how this diet works.
After reviewing enough mainstream diets to see that they are all pretty much the same I have to thank Just Reading for suggesting UD2, I don't know how many more years it would have taken me to find this if I did not join this site and have the input I have already received.
The Ultimate Diet 2.0 (IMHO) takes everything a 60-90 day diet would aim for (and compresses it intelligently, and backed by science into an 8 week cycle that takes into account the way our body partitions calories to either be stored as fat or burned as energy. In turn helping to turn the body into a calorie maximizing, muscle building, machine. My body for the next 8 weeks has one purpose, to get into the best shape it has ever been in. This diet (for the beginner who has not been enlightened by all of the different pockets of excercise science) is nothing short of amazing.
So I am going to start the forum off being a little selfish, talking about what my diet looks like, and asking for recommendations/critique before I get too deep into this thing to make changes, thanks for letting me do this, and any input that you have!!! This forum is yours though, thanks for reading/responding!
I am doing a 8 day cycles (over the course of 8 weeks or until I am happy with my six pack definition whichever comes first) the diet is laid out as a 7 day diet, but the author lays out an 8 day plan as follows:
Day 1/2 low carb/low calorie(half of maintenance) full body depletion workout
Day 3/4 low carb/low cal cardio
Day 5 Begin Carb Load high intensity full body workout
Day 6 Carb Load off
Day 7 85% of maint cals power workout
Day 8 85% off
The weight I used to calculate my calories is not my current weight, it is what I think my weight should be for me to get a six pack....my current weight is 204, target is 185 and this is what I used for my caloric calculations:: This could be a really big mistake right off, let me know if I should change that.

Yesterdays workout was helatious moving into my second day of low carb/ low cal is painful, and I am dreading the gym, I know this is going to be worth it, I have great faith in this diet, and what it can do, and I am really looking forward to experiencing even the lowest lows, seeing how my body and mind reacts!
