Being fat all through your childhood really does change you as a person. It has shaped me into who I am today. It has given me unlimited determination, willpower, and a direction for my future. I know now first hand that I can do anything I put my mind to.. but that is all a story I will expand on later.

I have been doing "leangains" IF for about the past month, dropping 4 pounds while setting new PRs every workout. Even though it is amazing in its own regard and I will be doing it the rest of my life for its ease and results, I want to get shredded as fast as possible. Thus I decided to combine the concepts of Martin's IF protocol with Lyle McDonald's Ultimate Diet 2.0 resulting in extreme carb cycling combined with fasting elements.

================================================== ===============

My schedule looks like this:

{{REPEAT}}
================================================== ================

Starting Stats:
Weight - 184 (Taken on Sunday mornings)
Height - 6'4"
Motivation - I am starting to see my abs for the first time in my life! More motivated than ever

I have already been on this for one week. My second week will begin the logging. Just from one week there was a noticeable result in definition. Hoping for some good things! Pictures will be posted after I get 20 posts along with occasional food porn. I will try to expand on my past struggles with weight loss as time allows. After an 8 week cycle I will re-evaluate and hopefully be lean enough to go on a leangains bulk until summer. On to the log!

I didn't get the chance to log yesterday so I will combine them.

Day 1:

///////Nutrition -

Pre-Workout: 1 scoop BCAA
Post-Workout: 2 scoops ON Whey, 6 cups Spring Greens
Afternoon snack: 8oz 93% Lean Ground Beef with 1 Yellow Bell Pepper, Green Beans
Dinner: Chicken Marsala (Chicken breast covered in a mushroom and wine sauce)
Late night snack: Habanero BBQ almonds + 0.5 scroop ON Casein
{Fish oil throughout day}

Total Macros:
Cals: 1572

================================================== ============================================

Day 2:

//////Workout -
Ab Roller 3x10
Hanging Leg raises 3x10
Cable Bicep Curls 3x10
Cable Tricep Press 3x10
Wrist Roller 3x10
Squats 4x12
Calf Raises 3x10
Shrugs 3x10

Today was HORRIBLE. I understand now why Lyle says depletion workouts will want to make you hunt him down and punch him in the face. I saved squats for the end because I knew they would kill me. Everything was fine until those dreaded high rep squats. The first set I felt bad.. by the fourth I was nauseous and shaking. On a side note, ab rollers kick ass.

/////////Nutrition -
Pre-Workout: 1 scoop BCAA
Post-Workout: 12oz 93% Lean Ground Beef with 1 Yellow Bell Pepper, Green Beans
Afternoon snack: Habanero BBQ almonds, 6 cups Spring Greens
Dinner: 12oz barbecued Chicken Breast, 200g Raw Broccoli
Late night snack: 2 scoops ON Casein
{Fish oil throughout day}

Total Macros:
Cals: 1611

Carbs: 58 g

////////Side Notes -
Weight: 180 (starting to get depleted)
Motivation: Overflowing. I took some pictures today that I will post up soon. Very pleased with my progress over the past couple months! This is the leanest I have ever been. Looking at these photos just motivates me even more.

Day 3:

Woke up early and went back to sleep. That was a mistake. Ended up oversleeping and missing class. Only sucks because I missed attendance points.

///////Workout -

{2 cups coffee pre-cardio}
Morning Fasted LISS Cardio: 70 minutes total, 12% Incline 2.4 Speed

The reason I love these cardio sessions is because they produce the results. After being on low carb for two days I can really feel the fat shed off. I swear after doing the cardio I can instantly see the difference, and today wasn't even the real fat burning session. Looking forward to tomorrow!


//////Nutrition -

Lunch: Cumin Beef Omelette (4 eggs, 4 egg whites, green bell pepper, 4oz 93% ground beef)

Was trying to make a Mexican Omelette but accidentally dropped a ton of Cumin in. I decided to see if it tasted like Cumin Beef from my favorite restaurant so I didn't add the chili powder. Let's just say they use about half the Cumin that I put in. At least it was edible..

Dinner: Cilantro Peanut Chicken? (11oz chicken, fat free sour cream, peanut butter, Carrot based hot sauce, chicken stock, fresh Cilantro)
Mixed Spring Greens
Fish Oil

Well this has been a bad day for food. I wanted something other than pan seared chicken breast and our barbecue was out of propane. Coupled with an intense craving for curry (but without coconut milk) lead to some interesting experimentation. I tried to make something similar to curry.. but it turned out more like peanut crusted chicken. It was edible.. barely. A big reason for this was the Cilantro.. Bleh. Horrible combination. Next time I will just go to the store and pick up some coconut milk.

Late night snack: PROTEIN Pudding! (ON Natural Chocolate Creme Casein, Milk, water)
