Going single digit! My 4 week UD2 madness
On March 1st I'm going on a 6 week vacation. A few weeks ago I decided to get really lean until then and for a couple of weeks now I've been following a "standard cut". I've lost a decent amount of weight but it's slowing down. I could just get stricter and slightly lower my caloric intake but I love calculating macros, pushing myself to the limit and overcomplicating things way too much, so today I jumped on Lyle Mc'Donald's Ultimate Diet 2.0.
UD2 is a 7 day-cyclical PSMF (protein sparing modified fast) that gives really high rate of body fat loss with minimal muscle loss if done correctly. I'll eat as low as 1200 kcal a day up to 6000+ depending on the day. My primary goal is to go under 10% BF, preferably to 7-8, my secondary goals are going under 80kgs, which will definitely happen if I reach single digit. I also don't want to lose too much strength. I will try to only stop if I get badly injured or feel like **** for more than a week. I'll try to update as often as I can.
