Shredded in 6 days, has anyone tried this???

[url]http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance_diet_mass/shredded_in_6_days[/url]

Hey guys has anyone tried this before? I am about to start it tomorrow just curious on how I should eat for the first four days. It says 50 carbs or less, but how many meals am I suppose to eat? I am eating six meals now should I just eat the same but drop the carbs? for example:

8am
9 egg whites

11pm
protein shake

1pm
6 oz Chicken Breast

4pm
protein shake

7pm
6 oz chicken breast

10pm
Protein Shake (casein)

does this look good or would you suggest something else???

I'd last about a day on that lol. At a glance that looks to be about 1500 cals? Yikes.

burning fat > lost glycogen


u need carbs for energy, you need carbs for good workouts, you need carbs for mental stability... i do not approve of this diet

how many cals should I be shooting for while try to keep my carbs under 50? That meal plan is not set in stone it's just to get an idea, I'm not sure how I should do my meals so if anyone could help that would be awesome!

No you don't :p

You do need fats though.

You would lose a bunch of water weight in 6 days but maybe two pounds in actual weight.

7 days...how bout a miracle...have you tried that stuff it works great...jus playin

I have actually cut down to 7% BF i am just trying to look my best for this and trying to get ideas this Shredded in 6 days looks like it just might work but I need to get my meal plans down first ya know any advice would be great

well with a 5-8lb loss of muscle glycogen u will look less full and weak IMO, do a proper carb taper, water taper, and then carb up for the photoshoot

even dave has healthy low-GI carbs in his diet...

do you have a link to a proper carb and water taper with a carb up?

[QUOTE=TheStiffmeister;326868431]do you have a link to a proper carb and water taper with a carb up?[/QUOTE]

i didnt even click the link, i just looked at what he posted and thought it was a crash diet :/ that article is pretty good, altho the carb down is pretty drastic IMO

[QUOTE=TheStiffmeister;326868431]do you have a link to a proper carb and water taper with a carb up?[/QUOTE]

yes that would be great

this is a glycogen depletion program..if it isnt done completely correct your muscles will come out very flat and appear much smaller. not worth it IMO

if your going to do it i would follow this program instead:

Ya bro your not going to get shredded in 6 days unless you have been dieting for a good while or already at a really low bf percentage, per say 5-6%, that looks like something someone would do for peak week before a show/photoshoot but I'd focus more in water intake, ex. 3 gallons, 2 gallons, 2 gallons, 1 gallon, 1/2 gallon, 8-10 ounces, no water day of shoot and carb the fawk up after a few days of carb depleting, keep your carbs low on those days around 30g, IMO that would be your best bet but like I said only if your really lean already.

I would starve to death if I ate that

and wrong section

yup it works. Tough as nails to down 3 gallons of water a day.

[QUOTE=BigDaddyJim;326910661]yup it works. Tough as nails to down 3 gallons of water a day.[/QUOTE]

3 gallons could be lethal, people have died drinking less.

[QUOTE=modog;326914401]3 gallons could be lethal, people have died drinking less.[/QUOTE]

You must be thinking in one sitting. I've had almost 3 gallons today, and I'm fit as a fiddle.

im actually pretty interested to see if this works. usually anything Christian Thibaudeau and Chris Shugart write about works.

I have done something extremely similar to that before. It lasted three days. On the fourth day, I was so irate and pissed off I wanted to murder everyone in sight....but I had no energy to do it. Ha. Dropped about 10 lbs in three days though, mostly water, but my abs popped out nicely.

thanks for all the advice

Someone here made a interesting comment about how this will flatten you out... which is right probably... I think everyone (non bodybuilders) at one point or another have an event that is very important to them like a wedding or reunion that they want to really look jacked at....

so the question is if you are a few weeks away and want to get as lean as possible but time it right to keep your muscles looking full that particular day... what is the sequence of carbs, water etc....

btw.. obviously I know that you have to have been dieting working out etc... can't just be a total fat ass and decide to look jacked in a week or so

/thread

The only goal of that diet is to move water. You should be concerned about moving water after you are at a low bf. IMO, 5-6% may be extreme unless your at peak weak walking on stage. And everybody looks they're best at a different bf%.

There is absolutely NO reason to only ingest 50g of carbs from Monday-Friday. That would definitely put you in ketosis. An average 200lb man requires approx. 300g of carbs a day to replenish skeletal muscle and liver carb stores, 200g being in the muscles. You can achieve a carb depletion in 2 days of 50g or less carbs.
