Wat are the macros? Are they worth the effort?
1.Its not suppose to be long term or sustainable
2. You will not damage your metabolism by short term extreme diets
3. A PSMF increases the size of the deficit which means more fat lost
4. Jeff Nippard won a natty pro card and did a PSMF at the end of his prep https://www.instagram.com/jeffnippard/

I usually weigh myself in the evenings. For ****s and giggles I weighed myself last night, I was down a pound. Not counting it though. I usually weigh in fridays so that's what I'm going to continue to do.
I had a small break Saturday. I ate some of the stuff I hadn't had in forever without going over maintenance.AE APE results thread: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=144074851&p=867099761&viewfull=1#post867099761

This hungry yet not hungry feeling is almost infuriating... stomach is full but my body's like.... "brah... we need more than this!!"

start skipping breakfast bruh, it's way easier.
After not eating until 1pm, it's easy mode for me, i am usually hungry in the mornings and if i eat, then i'm hungry all day.
But if i don't eat, I stop being hungry And after training, my appetite vanishes. Then i eat loads of egg whites, chicken, vegs and prots in the evening hnnng.
Gjdm, another transformation pic from last year.
I'm starting to look lean af. I wonder what my parent's are gonna say after 2 weeks of not seeing me.
It's still hard for me to fall asleep though. Maybe caffeine is affecting me more nowLast edited by Pungiish; 05-15-2017 at 06:58 AM.

Much appreciated. Yesterday wasn't too bad, after I ate the half pound of turkey I felt full until the evening. Had to drink that double protein shake to get my protein up higher. I did note I had a little trouble sleeping last night. Nothing too bad but noticeable non the less. I also have a slight head ache as of right now but I'm downing water/bcaa
I'm already thinking ahead to when I'm done. Can't decide on what to eat... thinking mashed potatoes and some spare ribs.
I can't do it. I'm not skipping breakfast. I would rather eat a gigantic breakfast and ride it out, then not eat until the afternoon. I just have to get something in my stomach when I wake up.AE APE results thread: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=144074851&p=867099761&viewfull=1#post867099761

Is it an appropriate tool for an expirenced bodybuilder looking to get his pro card to use as the final steps of his prep? Sure - I won't argue with that. Dude is surely miles ahead of me in both practical and theoretical knowledge on the subject and is prepared to deal with the negatives and rebound.
Is it appropriate for the average gym bro / miscer who hops on here looking for a "quick" way to cut? **** no.
In addition to all the other stuff, you are messing with hormonal levels as evidenced by you guys complaining about libido drop. Why are you even in a rush? Are you seriously going to mess with your metabolism and hormonal levels so you can get abs for bitches on the beach this summer?
Of course a big deficit is going to mean weight loss. Looks like protein is kept high so it will mostly be fat, but how are you 1-2 months after finishing "a cycle" of this? If you have done it a few times and manged to maintain the fat loss and not re-gain it then w/e ignore me and keep doing it as it obviously works for you.
I'm just saying you guys are doing the worst part of a real contest prep (suffering the metabolism and hormonal drop) when you could achieve the same results in 2-3x the time with a more moderate cut without the downsides. What are you rushing for?
Just tryin to warn the average bro that hops on and actually thinks this is even remotely a good idea. At least before trying it read up a bit about post-contest recovery / reverse dieting so you don't yo-yo immediately after.

Anyone considering this should read the book as it will answer any and all questions, as well as goes into reasoning for things and why you must do it as prescribed. If you have an eating disorder or unhealthy relationship with food, then you shouldn't be attempting this. You should be attempting this if you're strong willed and are able to follow this through to the end, then not gorge on food so you over eat.

I think if you keep talking about food you're going to make things significantly harder. People typically eat when they see (have access to) food, not because they actually need it. Recall the old adage: out of sight, out of mind. Occupy your brain with other daily challenges, otherwise, your fixation on food will drive you insane.
That said, Intermittent fasting (IF) is real. The hunger you experience is all in you mind. Once you break the cycle of eating frequency, your body will stop sending signals to your brain telling you that its time to eat again. You may feel like you're starving to death in the beginning, but you're far, far, from that state.
On more thing, coffee along with a calorie free sweetener also helps resolve your hunger as you transition away from your eating frequency.🎥

This is exactly why I decided to give it a try. I've been steadily losing but that little bit on my lower abs isn't doing anything at all. I'm running it exactly as explained in the book, for the time period recommended while taking all the supplements he recommends. I don't think anyone should be doing it who doesn't follow it the way it's recommended, but as Tug said: human nature is to take the shortcut regardless. I've been cutting for 6 weeks now, after bulking for over a year, so I have a good feel of my calories and how my body responds to it.

Yes, yes I know all about the ordeal. After all, if this was easy everybody would be in shape. And the transition should come slowly. Otherwise, you'd change one direction as quickly as your changed the first. Its not bad as long as its used in moderation. When I was at the height of my fat loss I'd use a couple packs of the yellow stuff every other day when I was up and about.
If you're able to workout first thing in the morning, you get to do your feeding window right after and the challenge is a lot easier. At this point I'm able to go 18 hours (workout included) without issue.🎥
