    oh man the only thing I ate today so far was a chinese meal that was just sesame chicken and rice..... I had the whole order of sesame chicken and it had to of been around 13-15 ounces. and about 2.5 cups of rice. I think that would be around 1600 or so calories? I am stuffed and I think I got like absolutely no protein for the day... only like 40 grams...... Im absolutely not hungry and I got 225 carbs and like 50-60 g fat in one meal..... I feel like im going to explode. I think its whey protein or chicken is all im going to eat.

    Throughout this whole cut ive been doing since May, its so weird how our bodies work. When I take in 500 cals I am not satisfied but when I eat the deliciiously unwise meals, I feel so sick and full its not even funny..... It seems like there is no middle ground for me. Do you feel that way while on your cut?

    700 calories seems to be the sweet spot for me.
    Why do I do this weightlifting thing for the last 34 years with all its ups and downs life has handed me? Because each time I came back stronger. NEVER GIVE UP. Gym life is about more than muscles getting bigger and weights going up. Its wisdom discipline dedication humility you name it.

    Up 1.6 (from 255.8 to 257.4) :/.....really it has been in the last 24 hours (I was down on Wednesday), so I'm not too worried about bouncing back.

    Weighed in today to a 2lb (16lbs in total) loss which brings me down to 333lbs. Dissapointing but still a loss. Body fat is down to 44.2% and its time to get that bitch under 40%

    58lbs to goal! Weight training weight to be raised and possibly intermittent fasting...

    Since it seems I have been hovering around the low 190's for a few weeks now I decided to play with the food diary on myfitnesspal and see how many additional calories it would take for the tool to tell me I would remain at 190 in 5 weeks time. It said 2551 calories would be the magic number. I decide to round down to 2500 calories.

    I am taking a sports nutrition class and based on the science I am confident that the stall in my strength gains are due to a lack of sufficient carbohydrates. Keeping the carbs low has worked wonders to get 90 pounds of mostly fat off my frame. Now I think I need a new strategy. Our fat burning engine is great for energy supply at rest or low intensity exercise but the body prefers glycogen from muscles when working at intensity and from what I gather, insufficient carbohydrate intake limits it's replenishment and thus faster fatigue and ultimately decreased strength.

    Interested to experiment with maintenance level calorie intake for a few weeks and see if there is any changes of note in my body composition.

    Down to 200.8 pounds.
    Lost 2.4 pounds this week. Surised, especially since I wasn't really sticking to my diet.

    see thats the thing

    once youre past noobie gains, the choice becomes:

    lose fat
    or
    gain muscle

    trying to do both = stall

    It is almost impossible to do both. You either need to choose to gain muscle or lose fat. It is a looping process of a couple months losing fat and a couple months bulking and gaining muscle.

    Edit: basically the same thing strong meat said.

    Im so glad you shared this. I was thinking the low carbs was causing my strength losses. When i dieted before It would take 11 weeks to hit strength losses. This time it happened on the second week. Im going to use tomorrow as a refeed day.

    edit ...im going to eat lots of fruits and vegetables as well as non processed carbohydrate sources.

    Why do I do this weightlifting thing for the last 34 years with all its ups and downs life has handed me? Because each time I came back stronger. NEVER GIVE UP. Gym life is about more than muscles getting bigger and weights going up. Its wisdom discipline dedication humility you name it.

    Eating better carb choices is what I am doing as well. I have added yams, brown rice, oatmeal, and whole wheat bread (with no HFCS) back into my diet. Already get my low carb diet from veggies and fruits and a homemade pizza on Sunday's

    Something else I just learned is that while just eating lots of protein alone might help to spare muscle on a serious cut, for example, however if you are constantly at a calorie deficit (me for over a year) you probably are not supplying the body with sufficient energy to maintain it's nitrogen balance. This degradation happens over a period of time like a long cut. For the support of skeletal muscle growth and or maintenance sufficient energy intake is needed to maintain the balance.

    This sports nutrition class I am taking is jumping right off the cliff into all the serious science behind athletic nutrition for every type of athlete from body builder to high endurance triathletes. The science so far is backing up the idea that dropping weight and building muscle are two distinct and separate processes. That's not to say that once most of the fat has been stripped away and one goes on a muscle building diet that they should just eat anything. If gaining muscle means also gaining fat as well then I think a proper and well balanced diet consisting of the right foods, if you will, would go a long ways towards limiting the ratio of fat to muscle gain. Think of it like this; You purposefully gain 10 pounds would you prefer to have it as 8 pounds of muscle and 2 pounds of fat or 6 pounds of fat and 4 pounds of muscle. Dialing in your nutrition is the key to understanding how the gain washes out. In this regard I am a willing lab rat! LOL

    Had a good week, down 5 pounds from the start which is good. Up a little this sunday but it's okay. Just something that normally helps me. I workout hard during the week, cardio, watch everything I eat. Come Sunday, I just eat like a normal person would. I don't weigh measure or track any of my food. I don't go overboard, I just eat a sensible amount of food and don't worry. Normally the weight I am Monday morning dictates my intensity during the week. If I'm up, I've gotta hit it hard, if I'm the same weight as friday, just go about business. if I'm down more than a pound from friday, I may take a day of cardio off just to try and not cut too fast.

    Low carb most likely didnt cause any of your strength loses. Its your will power that did you. Low carb/Keto/PSMF will make your feel drained, each to a greater degree. But it is your mind that breaks you. Your body is capable of a lot more than you credit it.

    Brb Keto all dah time and sporadic PSMF days

    Strength loss, not even once.
