The 6 foods that work.. 8 week trial (with pics)

Cool i got ya bro. It's an interesting theory adding the cals up like that into a show... i've never done it.. the way he had described... this past time i was ready early and able to cut cardio to almost nothing and add the cals (carbs) back in. I would say add the fats that u want man. LIke you said you're not running gear he was, and you may not have the same type of metab etc etc so you can't follow what he was doing exactly. Curious to see how it turns out at the end of the 8 weeks bro
 
I see progress in the pics, it's coming along; but you got a long way to go. Keep it up man! Yes I know about the physiology of the muscle; however when I contest diet I tend to get stronger into the diet with my deadlifts and squats and my pressing movements stagnate. After I hit about the 4-5% bodyfat mark my presses seem to drop about 15% but my deadlifts and squat only drop 3-5%. This has been consistant again and again. Don't think your losing muscle from the pics you posted, but your losing bloat & fat. Don't mind fuc* yourself man, keep on trucking Bezoe! Train the mind and the body will follow

One thing I am concerned about is the lack of good fats in this diet and their numerous functions in the body- inluding TEST PRODUCTION. Pulcinella was definetely using plenty of gear during this diet.. but for me, without gear, its gonna be hard to keep strength up without adequate fat intake. I can only rely on endogenous test.. thats makes me worry. I wonder how much a few teaspoons of EVOO would affect the results?

Thats the problem with this diet. If it was salmon instead of tuna then at least you could get in a good amount of fats that way. I'm on HRT so it wouldn't be too bad as far as hormones go, but i'd have to question its affects on skin + hair after 8-12 weeks basically fat free.

Thats one of the main discrepencies is the damn gear. Makes a HUGE difference when dieting. Im tempting to low dose a mild oral.. may do that just to hold onto muscle

Yea im sure we've both had plenty of didactic training. Thats funny ive kept about the same strength in deads and pulling.. maybe even stronger in some lifts like db rows. Advice taken.. i will not mind **** myself lol. Dont worry bra Im doing the full 8 weeks at the LEAST.

I like this idea. He considers it an exception unless prepping for contest. Will do bra

Well im not lavishing in wealth and tuna has quite a bit of fat too. I may look into salmon.. would frozen salmon be adequate or do you recommend something fresh?

Yes, skin, hair (dont have much anyway lol), and things like surfactant in the lungs and cell membrane constituents..
 
Day 21 (3/8 weeks completed)

Weight: 200.5 (weigh-in wasnt until tmrow but i was curious)
Well ive definetely seen a change.. the weight has dropped 7-9 pounds (initial weigh-in was with clothes in the afternoon). So thats about 2 pounds/week avg. - the rule of thumb for weight loss without muscle loss.

As of today im increasing cals again.. this time with more carbs and fat. The fat will be from egg yolks and possibly salmon you guys recommended.

So here is the daily plan:
730am 6 Whole Eggs: 480cal, 42g p, 30g fat
50g whey protein: 200cal, 50g p
1 Cup Oats: 604 cal, 104g carbs
1 Banana: 105 cal, 27g carbs

1389 cals, 92g protein, 30g fat, 131g carbs
10am 8oz Tuna: 262 cal, 50g protein, 2g fat
1 Cup Oats: 604 cal, 104g carbs
1 Banana: 105 cal, 27g carbs


971 cals, 50g protein, 2g fat, 131g carbs
1230am Baked chicken breast: 284 cal, 50g protein, 3g fat
1 Cup Oats: 604 cal, 104g carbs

888 cal, 50g protein, 104g carb, 3g fat
3pm Baked chicken breast: 284 cal, 50g protein, 3g fat
5oz Broccoli: 54 cal
Salad

338 cal, 50g protein, 10g carb, 3g fat
530pm Baked chicken breast: 284cal, 50g protein, 3g fat
5 oz Brocolli: 54 cal, 10g carb
Salad

338 cal, 50g protein, 10g carb, 3g fat
8pm 50g whey protein: 200cal, 50g protein
6 whole eggs: 480 cals, 42g protein, 30g fat

680 cals, 92g protein, 30g fat
10pm Baked Chicken breast: 284 cal, 50g protein

284cal, 50g protein, 3g fat

TOTAL:
4888 cals, 434g protein, 386g carbs, 75g fat

Now ive been slowly adding things in. The initial diet was 2500 cals approximately. This is almost double that after only 3 weeks. Keep in mind ive been adding cals constantly so this is only a bit higher than the last 3 or 4 days- and im still losing weight.

Anybody think i should change any macros? Calories overall?

I would like to think that id gain weight with this amount of cals lol.. and i dont wanna cut out the 20 min. PWO cardio so my only option is to bump up food intake.
 
The fact that you are pushing the 5k mark and still loing weight amazes me since i eat around 3 a day and can not seem to lose a pound
 
This is confusing to me how anyone except (ronnie coleman) would lose weight on this amount of calories ~ 4900. Even so I think Ronnie ate 4,000 to get into show shape so I have no clue what is happening/going on. I usually can give proper advice, but this is crazy and doesn't seem true, However; I didn't say it wasn't true I just said it doesn't seem possible without some malabsorptive disorder
 
Yes it boggles my mind too.. which really leads me to believe that there is something special about these 6 foods. I mean, Pulcinella said that when he was discovering these foods over a period of years he tried and testing different things. He said that once he substituted asparagus for the brocolli and started seeing his love handles get fat. He asked himself what was the one thing he looked forward to eating everyday.. it was the asparagus. So he checked the nutrition info and saw that there were so many more sugars in the asparagus than the brocolli. THOSE FEW SUGARS WERE MAKING THAT HUGE DIFFERENCE! Thats why im convinced theres something about these foods.. the combination of macros they consist of, along with many other substances in the food that cause the body to lean out dramatically.
 
I can see where your coming from, but seriously 4900 calories in a day should be a bulk for anyone if i ever saw one. Just seems highly unlikely

You can doubt if you want bro but Im not promoting this diet, im merely testing it and just giving the details as I go. I should start gaining at this amt of calories.

Perhaps after being on a low carb, high fat diet for so long, I have altered my body's ability to metabolize carbs? Idk
 
Although i am doubting it, it's not impossible i suppose, that just a ton of calories. Also, calculating in how much energy expendature from lifting and cardio anything is possible.

Yea i have started working full time recently.. I dont sit at a desk but its not manual labor either lol. I believe that the "calories in, calories out" theory is very inaccurate especially if you listen to people like Dr. Scott Connely and his insulin theory.

But I SWEAR it doesnt feel like im eating 4500-5000 cals. All the food goes down easy- i dont feel like im force feeding myself, i stay pretty hungry all day actually. I think the way insulin and other hormones respond to these foods makes the difference. Ill bet if I ate 1 small sugary carb meal in the evening my weight would shoot up. Pulcinella says if you want "transparent skin" this diet will do it. So im as anxious as you guys are to see what happens..

hmmm the bulk deal isnt too bad. If i have problems with digestion ill look into it, thanks bra
 
Fats just have baddies influence.me and bezoe r very similar. I have diet to.extreme.levels.many times months at a time, just like bezoe if I drop most of my fats I can keep my carbs moderate and still be dropping bf even on slightly higher cals but then again not 5k....

Any updates?

Yep, sorry been slammed with school and work but everything has been in check for the most part. Went to a get-together the other night and ate a few wings and 1 or 2 meatballs lol. I told you guys I would disclose any deviations.

I can maintain and even gain weight on high fat diet very easily. But I usually stay lean with high fat low carb diets, and get fat with low fat high carb diets.. but this experience has dispelled that entire idea.

I have to admit to you guys since I posted the latest diet plan i have had a hard time eating all that food within a day lol. I cut out the bananas completely because I read a recent post in a forum where dave says he eliminated bananas from the diet after that video was made. He said he found that he was leaner without the bananas and that oats and such have a better gradual influx of energy. So that is a few less calories for me.. Also ive been slack and there have been a couple days where I just couldnt stomach another chicken breast.. so the meal #5 (chicken breast and brocolli) has been eliminated. My weight is hoovering right around 202 in the am and 206 in the pm.
 
Day 26
202 lbs

Energy and strength is good in the gym. Everything except presses have either maintained or gotten stronger.. probably due to this amount of carbohydrates contributing to atp regeneration and muscle bulk- which increases passive length tension. I dont look bulkier in the photos.. I personally think I look pathetic in those but its a different story in the gym. Im getting some mean pumps and looking like im about 220-230 in the gym. Vascularity in the gym looks good too as the muscles are filled with carbs and pushing out against the veins.

As I mentioned i dropped some calories (the protein was in the 400 gram range so I could spare to drop some). Not exactly sure how many calories total now.. you do the math. Im guessing around 4k even. Still 1.5 gallons of water with creatine, glutamine, BCAA's, and jack3d.

So im only 4 weeks in and see some mild differences as far as BF % goes. MAYBEEEE down 1-2%. I can only imagine what kind of synergistic results this diet would produce on cycle. Im hoping to see some substantial differences by 8 weeks. If so, Ill continue this diet to probably 12 weeks, maybe even longer.

Also, I'll be glad to hear anybody elses advice for any aspects of this trial. Jasen, its good to have you in here bro
 
Yeah np how.much cardio do u do? Out of curiosity? Also personally until my BP went whack!!!!!! And a few other things this yr was my first time cutting with steroids it was great! Winstrol and test with low cals low everything besides protein and cardio 2x a day added too man preserved alottttt of muscle drip alot of BF. But sides got.big and dangerous once I stacked and upped SD, I ran out if winstrol ****tty dealer. Next time ill stick winstrol only primo test
 
It amazed me how brutal my diet could be and still preserve muscle! Low carbs low fat low cals high protein I looked great, ill probably never diet without AAS again
 
Might as well make it 12 weeks, pulcinella said he eats these foods only for at 12 weeks out of a contest and then when is 6-8 weeks out of a contest, he gets rid of all essential fats like egg yolks, natural peanut butter, etc. Would be kind of cool to see a difference between drug free(you) and roided up to the max(pulcinella) using these 6 foods

Man I told myself I would never cut without AAS again.. since last time I shrunk so bad (doing keto). But I figured this would be "dieting" and not necessarily "cutting", because the cals are high as **** lol.

Can u explain the FST 7/4 thing

Yea it stands for Fascia Stretching Technique. Essentially, you pump tremendous amounts of blood into the muscle belly with moderately heavy weight not to failure for seven sets with only about 30 seconds rest intervals. I changed the concept to only 4 sets because I feel 7 is overkill especially after my heavy ass working sets. Perhaps I'll implement seven sets again come cycle time ;)
 
Should have noted that by engorging the muscle with blood, it pushes out and stretches the fascia, allowing the fibers to more easily hypertrophy

Haven't read any literature on the efficacy but bro science says it works
 
Wait so 7 set how many reps?
 
12-15. Any more than that and you tap into oxidative energy pathways that promote muscular endurance.
 
this still going?

im in
 
hows the diet going man?
i know if i was to attempt to do that i would be craving all the good stuff, it kinda runs in my family, got damed sweet tooth from my moms side.
 
keep up the good work man...
great progress.... IF i was to try something like this for training without the use of gluten/wheat, what could i sub in instead of oats?
subbed in for more progress updates

Sweet potatos, gluten free brown rice, quinoa, brown rice bread(food for life brand), that's what I aim for

I'm doing paleo so trying to open up my choices... Red quinoa sounds good.having so much fat hurts my higher intensity running
cheers

I fell off the wagon a bit this past weekend. Went to visit the peeps and got influenced too much. Had a few pieces of pizza and im sure i didnt hit my protein target saturday and sunday. Everything is back to normal now. 204lbs this morning. Its day #34. Im still getting great pumps in the gym- due to full glycogen stores. Im feeling relatively lean in the morning.. could be a lot leaner. I'd like to lose another 3% bodyfat. Calories are still the same and cardio has been increased to 30 min PWO.. although tonight was only 20 i was exhausted.

Hit back tonight.. nothing out of the ordinary- 120lb db rows, 120lb shrugs, murdered calves. Ill post some new pics soon

Oh yea, just wanted to mention that I had a nice piece of a** the other night :D Chick came over to chill and was like "no I cant, I just met you" when i made some moves. I was like "I respect that". By the end of the night i had her bent over biting the pillow lol :firedevil:
 
Everyone messes up on the diet, hard when you got loads of the external influences pressuring you to eat too lol.

Nice on getting some extra cardio in man ;)

my thoughts exactly...have a good set of amino acids in it but not too sure about the fats...may be the omega 6s but i doubt that its a negliable amount
 
Very interested to see how this particular diet continues to progress, looking into doing something similar for myself. Great to hear its working out well for you.
