Your new year's nutrition resolutions 2013 ?

[darkcloudcover]

Hey guys! I think a lot of you are getting ready to hit the year 2013 with new fitness ideas & goals. Of course this applies to our diets as well.

I've been recently convincing myself that carbs are not my enemy & I'm gradually moving from extreme low-carb to IIFYM, which will become my new lifestyle for the upcoming year. Change is good!

Share with us your new year's nutrition resolutions 2013!

What do you mean "switching from low carb to IIFYM"??

Also there's still 3 weeks left in December... Bit early ain't it

Well I've been on keto for 3 years. Been gradually introducing carbs back into my diet, and looking forward to be on a 40% Protein, 40% Carbs, 20% Fat, starting January. During those 3 weeks left in December, I'm just considering it as a transition phase, since I'm still having negative effects from the carbs since breaking Keto, I can't jump right away on a 40% carb diet.

Perhaps your resolutions should including leaning the basics about nutrition, as using ratios to determine macronutrient intake is a bad idea.

As much as I hate the stupid acronym, in what way were you not doing "IIFYM" before, but will be now?

[Spawp]

Bulking up to 175 and dieting down to a shredded ~160 by may 1st 2013. I'm starting the bulk sometime mid-January.

I did not count calories nor macros before (just dropped the carbs). But now I will start counting & tracking everything.

[Kevin71]

Cut less aggressively and be more willing to fit different foods into my macros.

[Miickk]

Grow. Like. Mad.

I see. So you weren't necessarily doing the traditional high fat keto (65/30/5 60/35/5 etc)

You're giving yourself less than 4 months to gain 25 lbs and lose 15? That won't end very well.

Not at all, just learned of these proportions. I ate till satiety without knowing how much. Even during vacation & holidays with family I rarely had any carbs, went only for protein & fat on the table. Never used supplements, didn't do a second of cardio and had OK results in terms of muscle gain & fat loss.

At the same time?

Gym/body wise:
Clean bulk for 7-8 months, add thickness to lower abs, focus on triceps and rear delts as lagging body parts.

Don't go above 12-14% BF in the process, then cut down to 6-8% by summer.

Diet wise:
Have an enjoyable off-season, eat foods i enjoy and don't go overboard during my bulk

Diet for a maximum of 14-16 weeks next year to achieve 6-8% BF. All my cuts have been 18+ weeks due to being a higher BF%....hopefully never again!

[darkcloudcover]

At the same time?

Well yes, kind of. I don't know if these 2 processes were happening at the exact same time minute by minute, but I can definitely confirm that year after year I was noticing growth while getting leaner (without bulking or cutting).

Oh him...

Good plan! There is no need to get fat in order to build quality muscle, plus staying in pretty much good shape all year round is the way to go.

Nutrition goals for 2013 include consuming enough calories to gain 30 lbs.

Also, enjoying myself while I do it.

you plan to do that in 5 months? Good luck... 25 pounds gained in 5 months is a good starting point about 1/lb a week. I have been bulking since last august and went from 172-189... you ll need time to cut up .... you need to chose one or the other and take your time.

[HNeeley]

Bulk to 210 cut to 190. Bulk to 230 then be cut at 210. That's my resolution for next year and the years to come

[russianBomber]

I plan to finish my cut strong and drop 15-20 lbs by the end of april and get down to the low 190's. After that I would like to bulk up to the low 200's by the end of 2013.

[darkcloudcover]

When you guys bulk, do you go over 12% bodyfat? How about staying fairly lean all year round and put on muscle slowly without getting fat?

[Ahmed81]

Get shredded at 170 (currently 185).
