Since day 1. Time to get back to business. Thanks for the replies, everyone.

Thanks for the replies. I guess just mostly pre/post workout stuff. Bcaa, creatine, etc. I need to lose about 40lbs, so, possibly stim free cutting supps as well.

Been on the shelf for over 2 years due to injury. Jumping back in. I have some whey isolate. What are some suggestions for other supps?

Thanks, Valdez. The metabolic diet is the actual diet discussed in this thread as it is the book I have and followed.

Sorry to dig up such an old thread, but, I found it to be relevant. Marriage, kid and some injuries(2 herniated discs, separated shoulder) have contributed to me getting fat again. Forgot how slow the diet is in the beginning. So much so that I PMd Tbone to express my frustration. Found this...

I have been on the diet for 19 months. I lost about 100lbs. and 16.5" on my waist, while maintaining most of my strength. The diet works, plain and simple. At 224lbs, you should be eating about 2700 calories. Keep your percentages where they are, about 60% fat, 35% protein. Why are you only...

Absolutely not, it's a hinderance. Do not skip it. Make it one day, 12 hours, whatever. You will start giving away muscle.

Taste is awful, I wretched trying to down it last night. Have to hide it in something.

It has changed indeed, maui. What can you do?

Calories are cycled and average out to 1600/day. My carb day can go as high as 4000 cals. So, if you factor in that day.........you could say I average close to 2000 cals/day. I've dropped under 210(about 209.5), so, I have cut my cardio back just a bit, as I am beginning to look leaner...

Unfortunately, you have to count the macros. There are hidden carbs in many foods(eggs being one of them), if you don't count, you don't know where you went wrong. Also, if you're not counting, how can you be sure you're eating 2900 calories. Don't reinvent the wheel. As designed, the diet...

How is it possible you're eating too much protein and not enough fat if you're eating the requisite macro ratios? I gained 5 lbs in the first 2 weeks. A year and a half later I've lost 85lbs. BTW, talk about impatient. Did I read correctly where you wrote you're on day 2? RELAX.

Right now, been going with Chimaira

Anyone tried it? I got 2 bottles in route and a box of bronkaid in the closet. Wondering how it would work out. Over stimmed perhaps?

Lost over 80lbs. No real weight goal, just trying to rid myself of this last bit of fat. I agree with you, my plan for bulking is to add ony a couple hundred cals/week until the goal is reached. First thing is to reinstate the 2 day carb up before anything else.
