I've been on the Cut Diet for 10 weeks now and I haven't seen any real results so far. I haven't lost or gained any weight and still look exactly the same as when I started. My stats are 5'9"- 200lbs - ~16% BF according to one of those electronic testers. (I actually got it done by Kim Klein, who owns my gym!) My strength is down which is to be expected, and I start crapping out towards the middle of my training sessions. I've also been moody.
I've pretty much been following the 3000k model to a T, with a few slight changes. I've been using PB for the fat source for most meals because it's cheap and convienient, although I do eat the avocado when I do have it. I've also been eating 1 cup of low fat cottage cheese for the last meal and sometimes meal #2. I've been eating green beans for most meals. I also sometimes skip the second grapefruit if I don't have enough to last the week.
For the refeeds, I've been eating 2 cups of oats, 6tbsp of raisins, 1tbsp of honey, and 3 tbsp of Smart Balance (The oats taste better than ice cream to me!)
I was using a push/pull/legs split, but now I'm trying out P-RR-S. As far as cardio, I try to get 10-20 minutes in whenever I can, but it's hard because of work, an 8 month old baby at home, and all the other stuff I do around the house. As for supplements, I only take met-Rx whey, CM, and a muli-vitamin because that's all my budget allows right now.
I know this diet works, because I've seen a lot of people have amzing results on this section of the board. I know that nothing works overnight, but after 10 weeks, I feel that I should be seeing something at least.
This morning I woke up miserable with no energy, so I stupidly decided to eat 1 cup of oats with some raisins and smart balance. I was supposed to have a refeed tonight, but I think I just screwed myself.
Please help guys, I really want this to work!!

That is not really the Cut Diet as we have outlined, please reread the book.
Calories DO matter, and you are getting over 500 calories in your refeed from Smart Balance ALONE!
That is not warranted with that ten minute cardio session.
Not trying to be mean, but truthful.Last edited by Scivation; 11-14-2006 at 07:33 AM.

I try to get in 10-20 minutes in at least 3 times a week after my workouts. It's tough though with stuff I have going on right now. I was thinking of maybe going down to 2500 calories to make up for it.
Also should I still have my refeed tonight despite my F#$% up this morning. I'm kicking myself right now.

The refeed calls for 1 tbsp of Smart Balance for the oats and 2 tbsp for the sweet potato. I looked at the labels on the SB and PB and they are just about the same, so I replaced the PB for the SB. I also added more oats instead of the potato because I saw numerous posts here saying it was OK, just not optimal. If this is not the case, I'll eat the sweet potato.
I'm just asking for some guidance to get me on the right track. I've never done a "cut" so I guess I have no idea what I'm doing.

um.. you don't have time to put in another 10min of cardio?
i really don't want to sound rude, but you should probably look at your priorities. if a proper workout schedule isn't in there, then maybe you'll have to hold off on cutting. Adjust your diet with 500cal less and/or add in a little more cardio.
Do you have time on other days? I don't really have enough time to do more than 20min after my workouts... but on Sundays, I do 90min of cardio to make up for my lack of cardio - perhaps you could do something similar? Just find a day where it's quiet, and go hammer at the gym on the treadmill or the bike.
10weeks without any progress is not good. You did, however, find your maintenance dietStill workin'

Thanks for your replies guys. I will go down to 2500 and go from there. Please don't think I'm being lazy, it's just that I only have 1 hour to train 4 nights a week. My wife and I both have to work full time and any free time get I want to spend with my her and playing with my 8 month old son. They are my priorities, hitting the gym is a luxury which a lot of guys I know do not have. I'm doing my best to balance everything and get some sleep each night too!! LOL
