One meal a day on gear

[bigbeaph]

3 sausage patties, that is around 4oz pork, 3 eggs, 3 slices of bacon, 2 tbsp butter, 6 liver tablets. I eat it about 30min after I waken. And it is tough lol.

Although the food is different my plan is the same. Try to hit 1400 cals first thing in the morning....and it's gotten to the point I just use my hands to shove most of it in my mouth bc every bite gives me a nausea shake lol. And every meal the same until last one of the day where I go crazy and eat as much good stuff as I can handle..always over 4000 cals

Lee Priest bulked hard in the offseason, and got a bit of a belly, but it was completely flat come contest time. So his belly in the offseason was not a bubble gut, it was him being sort of fat. But he himself has said it doesn’t matter what you look like in the offseason, only on stage, and he looked great on stage. Even at his heaviest offseason, it’s not a bubble gut in any sense of the word.

Pmsl....love those old Lee priest comparisons. What a dam great aussie

Second paragraph is untrue. Not everyone.

I am on a mission to bring waistlines inward so either you want that too and we should start agreeing or aesthetic waistlines on huge guys is dead. I know it’s entirely possible for things to change for the better.

Anyway, have a good afternoon.

BS. Everyone has the potential to blow air into their stomachs and/or push out to be past flat. To suggest otherwise is asinine. Including people who can hit insane vacuum poses, which no pros today can even think of doing.

It is more taxing than the intense workouts we do to be honest. Lol.

His dis videos are on point too. He’s the man.

I hear you. At my largest, I used to wake up and make 3 chicken breasts and a handful of eggs for breakfast right before work in the morning.

Can't be the same person. Look at the hair color difference, and did he all of a sudden get eye surgery? Not to mention the tattoo on his chest on the right of a highly detailed roadmap. Yup, definitely different person lol...

Oh yeah, it would kill me. I had 3 types of bbq sauce hehe... I'm more about steaks these days. I have a subscription to Butcherbox for their monthly beef box and all I cook at home is beef and pork (bacon). I ate just chicken and eggs for far too many years.

Steak and bacon much easier to shove down! That pork sausage is a real piece of work, but super cheap for my budget.

I've completely lost the motivation to flavor chicken anymore....I just shred it and dip it in a cup of water....usually while driving...that makes it go down easier and faster

Talking about budget:

I have beans at least 2 times a week. If whole generations of slaves could live -and grow on that, I can too.

Rice and beans is cheap, makes a complete protein, and can be tasty. Have no problem with that. However, for fat adapted people like myself, fat is primary, carbs are exception.

Can you grow muscles on low carb/high fat? I'm not up to date with the data on this. Besides, I eat rice sparingly -and the carbs from beans should be slow digesting -not much of an insulin response from it.

Fats are essential, carbs are not, but they sure make everything a lot better

Yes. Research has shown on fat adapted athletes that their bodies have the ability to replenish glycogen not through protein, but fat. Once one is fat adapted, and has good metabolic flexability, one can time their carb usage, maintain ketone production throughout the day, and burn fat. One must take adequate protein. Some of these people doing keto are eating too little protein, so they are limiting protein synthesis. Those guys will have a more difficult time building muscle.

When I was doing keto, I had trouble to meet the fat requirements. Peanut butter isn't readily available where I live -and as a landlocked country, saltwater fish is very expensive and often spoiled. So I stopped going the high fat/low carb way long ago. Current diet is somewhat low on fat -and seems to work fine.

You can gain muscle with any balance/ratio of carbs/fat as long as you have sufficient protein and calorie intake.

Butter, steak, pork, coconut oil, various nuts. All high in fat. If you wanted to try again. But, it you like what is working for you, keep at it!

Rice, beans and pork chops! I love that combo anytime, and it’s very cheap as well.

That's my broke go to. Can make 6 meals for under 10$ and porkchops are always on sale

Olive oil, avocado and just nuts. Anyways no you need carbs, while I agree with above post fats are more essential. Too little carbs isn't gonna be good. You can do no carbs and carbload on a Saturday, yum yum

 

[Chados]

You all are baiting me to look up the relevant studies. Not gonna happen. My time is too precious

HAHA

Oh god....if I tried that on tren I'd be in trouble. That stuff seems to make my body starve for calories constantly.

Oh god tren is like having a man inside your belly eating all the food so you don't put on fat.

Keto is not optimal to build muscle. Keto is just using fats (from food) not your own bodyfat as fuel while carb diet will use carbs, fat diets are easier to stay dry and flat on while carbs more full and bloated. IF or omad is not optimal to add muscle, great to drop fat.

Now cortisol is a major problem for a lot of people and being on these diets could be problematic. Now I believe HGP is quite chill and cortisol is just silly to him. Being on gear will definitely help maintain muscle with these diets obviously.

Oh and Ive read that the people who reaches the oldest in the world was in Okinawa. Two things to take away from that, 1. Fish = omega 3, the whole japan basically is a fish, and 2. They never ate until they were full which i think is the most important thing.

Whatever the diet is its probably not wise to eat until you almost puke regardless of how many times that is. Now doing it for a Month or two is different from doing it a whole life granted.
