2713 calories
217g protein (high)
54g carb (18g fiber) = 36g impact carbs
181g fat (79poly/36mono/42sat)

Narrative:
I felt like I did a good job depleting my legs today. I also started a miniature ECA stack just to get over this first two weeks of hellish fatigue. I must say that Ergopharm's AMP (original formula) works GREAT in conjunction with the E and A. I was riding high on Ripped Force airlines all day. It was night and day compared to yesterday.

I also picked up some ketostix today from the pharmacy, I'll start using them during week 2 to see if I'm actually entering Ketosis. I believe that I am currently in ketosis (constant sweet/metal taste in back of mouth) but I'll check just to be sure next week.

As for today's diet, I'll be the first to admit that I went a little over my planned 2280 calories. On the bright side though my fats were above the 177 mark! I also figure that with all the omega 3s in walnuts I'll be alright w/o supplementing any fish oil this evening.

I am 25 hours away from the refeed. I am looking forward to it. I punched the numbers quickly at first, and to spread out the carbs evenly for saturday I would have to eat between 143g and 172g of carbs per meal. Holy crap. If I wasn't working I could probably spend the entire day at a buffet or something like that.

But things being as they are, I plan on a ton of WMS, candy (non-fructose based), and of course complex carbs such as oats and whole wheat bread. I certainly hope that I can stomach it all.

Narrative:
I ate way too much fat today. However, it's really hard to gauge exactly how much I got from that ribeye this evening. I try to not eat the portions with the 'marble' texture or visible fat so it could be substantially less than the 79g the diet tracker says it had. The same is also said for the 60g protein. It's still a good estimate though. I think it's safe to say that I did get the protien in today as well as above adequate fat.

I read something that pissed me off royally today. Apparently most people go 10-12 days into their keto diets before having their first refeed! I was looking forward to spaghetti, bread, pizza, candy, and a sh!t ton of oats and WMS. DAMMIT!

Diet:

Keeping it high fat and high protein. Today was 6 eggs, 2 boxes of turkey bacon, 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, 3 cheese sticks, and I had stir-fry for dinner (beef, chicken, sausage, broccoli) I'll probably heat up some potroast in the next hour.

I need to increase my fiber intake and the only way I can think of to do what w/o increasing sugar (nuts,) or other impact carbs (veggies,) will be to bring back a tablespoon or two of psyllium in the evening. I have not been regular since Friday, so yeah... In fact, I think I'll go ahead and attack some psyllium now so that when I take my fish oil later I won't have to worry about the fiber interfering with my omega absorption.

Narrative:

Diet aside, I'm still doing alright. I'm not as 'weak' in the gym as I felt last monday, which is good. I don't think my body is fully adjusted yet but I have to make an observation:

Keto diets require an ECA stack or some equivalent. Days I didn't take it or days that I didn't take my 2nd dose I've noticed increased aggression, moodiness, and an all-around negative outlook. ECA is keeping me personable, happy, and productive during this difficult time of adjustment.

Speaking of Keto, I smell a lot more. My deodorant doesn't last all day like it used to, damn ketones I reckon. Over the weekend I didn't notice the 'sweet (keto) breath' like I did last week while training and again today. I suppose exercise makes the effects more prominant.

I was glad to hit 275 a few times again on DL but pissed off that I couldn't crank anymore out. I could have lifted it more, but my form would have become something between regular deads and SLDL, so I didn't.

You should add in some HypX to the ECA stack. It helped me when I was dieting.

[Hank Vangut]

yeah, the stims do help control cravings.
i find them necessary when running a diet like yous.

[crader]

I'm considering running a keto diet to see how my body composition changes. After coming off this diet I have had severe lethergy and naseau. So honestly I can see how people stay on diet forever and just eat more of it off season.

It's not the cravings that are the problem. It's being mad at the world that I can't have every day.

I noticed that my sodium intake is high. I mean high high. This is definately something that I need to work on. It's like the water retention from creatine without the strength gains

I guess I'll have to make some more adjustments. At least constantly changing things and finding faults in what I'm doing keeps me moving forward and working. Anyway, time to update the log for reals...

74 hours until my refeed. Bob demands carbs. I hate KNOWING that I can crank more reps out but I don't have the gas to do it. It's driving me nuts. I wouldn't have accomplished anything if I had thrown in my fly supersets between my presses.
On the bright side, I was able to crank out the 90lb dumbbells 7 times today. That's a new PR, the old was 6 reps I believe.
I did come home to a package sitting on my door step:

Narrative:
SilentBob is going crazy. It has been 12 days since I've eaten legitimate carbs. My highest source of carbs have been sunflower seeds and walnuts, each of which have 4 carbs per serving (2 of which are fiber.)

I bounced a question off Trauma and he suggested that I wait another few days to see if I drop in to ketosis. This stinks to high heaven. On day 6 I was ready to go carb crazy until I read that it's recommened to go 12 days no carbs initially to make sure you're in ketosis before your refeed. Now, at the end of day 12, I'm going to have to wait even longer.

I've got so much wheat pasta, oats, wheat bread, wms, and smarties that I'm ready to have a straight carb coma. BTW, now is the time to stock up on smarties. 6g dextrose per pack, 3.5lb bag for 5 bucks. I can't wait to see how much they'll be on November 1st. The best part, they don't expire until 2011.

But I digress. On Monday I'll be starting my Muscle Pharm log. I can't wait to try it out. I am a little hesitant about the 6g of carbs in Assault (especially after the trouble I'm currently having) but I'll find a way to make it work.

So yeah, cause I like you guys so much, I'll go ahead and post some pics for how the diet's going. Sorry about the sunny disposition, I want bread.

No music, no ladies, no rest for the wicked.

Hang tough Bob, One of the guys I know with a model perfect body. He is the magazine model for IDS as well as in movies, he always diets with no carbs. He told me after awhile your energy levels kick back up and you don't even miss carbs. He does not watch sodium either until the very end of comp time and he is massively vascular and mega lean!

Thanks for the info crader, I knew about the energy return afterward but the sodium thing is good to hear. That's something I've been really concerned with dealing with all the meats and cheeses I'm eating.

Yep, I picked up a couple 20lb KBs and ordered a DVD from the Renegade KB site that teaches 13 basic movements with the KBs.

Since I've been off the Muscle Pharm products I've been talking All The Whey's Creatine Glutamine Taurine product, http://www.allthewhey.com/tgc525.html to continue with a creatine product for awhile. It reminds me of a watered down orange creamsicle, tasty. I've been taking it pre and post for 10g of creatine monohydrate.

For energy I'm currently taking a Rhodiola tablet, Basic Cuts, ephedra and asprin. Gets me amped! And needless to say, it powered tonight's lift. I was contemplating doing arms tonight because I was feeling so tired today. I'm glad I didn't. I felt great doing those deads this evening!

Tomorrow is going to be a great thanksgiving. Shrimp, Ham, and Turkey. I'm so glad I'm bulking right now.

Today was a strong shoulder day. 175 on military, that sh*t's heavy! I'm really starting to like that lift. I stepped on the scale this morning and weighed in at 190lb.
Today was also the last time I'll be lifting until December 8th. I'm taking a week off because I haven't in a while and it will also give me time to finish up everything I need to for school. I will continue with my diet and get as much rest as I can. I'm looking forward to going total body + kettle bells.

You may have answered this but what are your current goals?

[SilentBob187]

The current goal is to gain 10lbs, 200lbs. I haven't seen 200lb since I was starting my journey @ 230lb. The diet will be high fat and high protein (CKD, take 2.)

Training will be alternating days of kettle bells and total body workouts (6 days a week.)

I'm hoping that I'll be JACKED while I'm on my Prime and Activate...but that is completely up to FedEX.
