Wavelength's Diet Progress

[wave_length]

I noticed that your diet looks really close to the warrior diet / (IF). Good way to get shredded. Nice work.

Yeah, several people commented on that. I honestly didn't know about the warrior diet when I did my last cut. I think it's different in some regards.

how long has the process been?

You mean the cut? It was 3 months.

[wave_length]

Found an old crappy pic where I was bulked to 185lbs.
Hopefully I get there again.

Thanks man!
Since I know that my particular diet is not for everyone, for a more general cutting guide, I also have written a small article:

Since a few people have asked me for specifics on my cutting diet, here's a roundup of my method:

I made sure to get 1g/lb LBM of daily protein in, by simply sipping on a 100g whey protein shake during the day. The rest of my protein needs were easily met with solid food. I didn't take any other supplements.

During the week the diet looked like this: In the morning I only drank a little healthy oil. I ate out for lun(snip)

I wouldn't be surprised if you've already answered this a number of times.

Heck, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I've asked this question previously! D'OH!

Can you be more specific re the boldfaced above?

Do you mean a teaspoon or tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil? Or something else? I know macadamia nut oil has gotten a lot of hype or press.

[curt_james]

Haha, my arms are fricking sticks, I know that. Unfortunally I have bad genetics for the small muscle groups ... well actually for all muscle groups

But thanks for the kind words!

You'll receive no sympathy from me and my blubbery brethren, wave!

Sorry man, didn't see that one. I just take a gulp of sesame or flax in the morning and a gulp of fish oil in the evening (if I don't forget). Probably around 5-10g.

You'll receive no sympathy from me and my blubbery brethren, wave!

LOL!

Truly amazing stuff wavelength. What kind of "healthy oil" do you drink? How do you take it? I asked this in another post but I forgot which one it was, so I'm sorry if I'm asking you to repeat a response.

In the post right above yours he says he's taking sesame or flax in the morning and fish oil at night.

Great article Wave Length.

I have one question though, does the GI content of the Carbs eaten daily not have a significant effect on weight loss either?? (assuming that your'e in a defecit and eating adequate protein)
I have read in a lot of articles that insulin levels in the bloodstream have to be low in order for the body to effectively burn fat. Does this not really matter then?? (i.e white bread vs brown)

Thanks

[D3th 2 Aw3]

So am I wasting my time with high intensity cardio? I started sprinting and jump rope last week, in hopes of getting down under 10%. I've never cut before though. So I should just sip on a 100-150 g shake everyday and eat a big lunch with the minimums of protein and I'll be set? This is too easy!

It's irrelevant.

You're not wasting your time at all. Cardio is one way to create a deficit. If you can stick to it, continue.

[csintyan]

WOW you look great dude! I would love to look like that by eating crazy and not doing cardio. Keep up the good work as it seems to be working for ya.

[N03xcus3s]

Looking shredded wave mate !!

Can I ask what exercises you do for abs and how often dude ?

Thanks man!

I don't really eat crazy, I always follow the 3 rules as noted in my fat loss thread, see signature. Other than that, the diet is very relaxed though.

Thanks bro!

I do a giant set of situps at the end of each workout. I do feel that the abs can be worked more often, but working them only once or twice a week would probably work just as well. The giant set of situps works like this: set 1, 10s rest, set 2, 20s rest, set 3, 30s rest, set 4.

So what if I slightly cut down my intake of calories, meaning cutting out mcdicks completely, eating less calories but still keeping myself full, doing hit running etc could I keep the same weight I'm at now, or possibly increase it with muscle? My goal is not to just get past 200 lbs, its to get passed it thick, and shredded. I'm basically winging it right now, lol

Thanks my bro. Hitting mine 3x week with weighted situps and seems to be working well so far.

[belairdfence99]

I have done a lot of different training programs. On this diet, I did moderate high intensity split training.

Did you do a push/pull/legs routine?

Depending on your caloric intake you can keep your weight or increase it. Whether your body composition changes with no or little total bodyweight change depends on many factors, mainly genetics and training experience. In any case, as long as protein is high enough and weight training is intense, body composition will always be optimal for your current rate of weight change.

[wave_length]

My last training program is in my signature.

Hi wave_length,

A couple of questions you've probably been asked before but here it goes anyway:

1) Your one big meal a day...is there any particular reason other than personal preference that you chose to eat it at lunch? Since the overall importance is caloric deficit and protein intake, I'm assuming it wouldn't make any difference if one was to eat that big meal in the evening. Just wondering your thoughts on this since you don't seem to be too concerned about insulin spikes.

2) You have eluded to it but I haven't seen you actually say it - you don't really count calories as much as you let your body tell you how many calories you've had by how full you are. Is this a correct assumption on my part?

3) You seem to average out your weekly calories when you take into account your free day of eating whatever you want. So in your mind if I'm eating 2,000 calories per day for 6 days but have a free day on the 7th day of 5,000 calories, I'm most likely going to see results that resemble a 2,400 calorie a day diet rather than a 2,000 calorie a day diet. Is that kind of the thought process?

4) Finally, how do you SIP on a protein shake all day? Maybe it doesn't taste that good because it's just water and powder? If it was me and one of my skim milk shakes, I'd have it all down the hatch in 5 minutes and not even realize it, aside from the gut ache.

Thanks in advance for your response. You're a good cat and have made some marvelous progress. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge and experience!

1) Sometimes I eat Dinner. I prefer to eat lunch because I workout a few hours later and just feel better and stronger this way. It's also the most convenient thing to do at work, since we have a lunch break anyway.

2) Correct, plus I use the feedback from weekly weighing.

3) Exactly, IMO, the cheat day must be counted in. It's a psychological help but not essential.

4) You can just as well make 3 or 4 smaller shakes spread out during the day of course. Let's face it, protein shakes are not really gourmet food, so a few gulps every hour or so is quite enough for me.

Thanks for your comments man!

Nopes, I'm at about 8-9% right now. My back and abs just come in first. Arms, legs, and shoulders still hold a good amount of fat. Plus IMO, body fat is usually grossely underestimated. I'm still far away from contest condition.

Thanks for the nice words!

Thank you for the answers! My bad for posting here. I'm familiar with your fat loss sticky. It's just that I was 'wave_length obsessed' on here the other day and ended up posting my questions where I ended my day-long obsession.
