Before I used to think "how does he fast for so long" but today I fasted for around 20 hours and I could have continued... that was unintentional btw, I just ate early the night before and ate late the day after. You get used to it I think (even though I've not followed IF properly).
Do you ever have any fries or the bun with what you eat from KFC?

Don't know what was wrong with me today. Didn't feel tired or anything but just couldn't get the weight up on squats. I made sure to keep form and hit as bottom as I can. Maybe its the pause at the bottom that's getting me. Everything else went fine. Not a great leg workout.

I live for these days. That bowl of cinnamon toast crunch is the highlight of this diet. Poured a little too much milk, that's why macros are off by 2g, no biggie.Last edited by sparkleys; 07-20-2011 at 04:45 AM.

A little more thirsty than usual. Maybe the high intake of sodium is catching up? Going to try and be conscious of water intake.Last edited by sparkleys; 07-21-2011 at 04:56 AM.

These days are actually a little tough. Two rest days in a row with low calories makes me hungry. I've done harder diets though.Last edited by sparkleys; 07-22-2011 at 04:41 AM.

These days are like heaven after two rest days. Stuffing myself full and enjoying the after effects of bliss. Anyway, I'm definitely feeling leaner and leaner. We'll see this sunday if the mirror reflects a bigger difference.Last edited by sparkleys; 07-23-2011 at 04:00 AM.

I recall reading somewhere that Martin does PMSF a few days after the holidays as well. Of course, that's rare and probably doesn't even matter.
Macros add up to 1700, but granted I agree it is low. However, coming from UD2.0 where control days were 1300 and made up with a 5000 weekend carbup, I think I'll be ok.

Week 3 (148 lbs)
Nutrition Thoughts
2.6 lbs is a little fast for me. I did spend a little more time on the toilet this morning and maybe that contributes a bit, but I'm still worried about muscle loss when the rate is this fast. I'll just note that I did increase coffee consumption this week as well.
Workout Thoughts
Workouts didn't go too well this week with the exception of my push day. Squats suffered and deadlifts stalled. This would make sense if I am losing some muscle mass. Debating on bringing calories up, although I do want to follow through with the bodybugg's numbers. This would mean that I am eating too little right now, then again not much visible change either. Maybe I need better lighting or something, I swear I look leaner at different angles in other mirrors.

Workout Thoughts
I guess the big drop in weight was attributed to some muscle loss. Couldn't bench 235 lbs more than twice; got stuck half way. But then shoulder presses felt pretty good. I still can't get the kick off for 70 lb dumbbells but 65s are getting easier and easier. Dips were difficult but I hit those as well.

I didn't have to do any LISS last week and ended up with about 3500 calories of deficit. Looking to continue that trend and stick to the program this week. Hopefully by the end of week four (exactly one month), there will be some visible changes. If not, well its only been four weeks so far. Staying motivated. To my surprise, today's nutrition was exactly the same as last week's.Last edited by sparkleys; 07-25-2011 at 04:22 AM.

Workout Thoughts
So much energy today and probably the best workout I've had since the start of this cut. I think I figured out my problem with ATG squats. I was prolonging the eccentric portion of the lift and stopping at the bottom and not using the stretch reflexes to help bring the weight up. I do a slow negative to make sure that I'm using proper form, but I think that's hurting my intensity. Next week, we get to see as I figured this out on my back off sets towards the end.

I read this article today: http://j.mp/oVChm5 from Canadian Business. It states, "Studies show that skipping meals during the day and eating one large meal in the evening results in harmful metabolic changes. Meal skippers have elevated fasting glucose levels and a delayed insulin response—conditions that, if they persist long term, can lead to diabetes." Although no studies have been referenced, it does get me thinking of the effects of one meal a day on insulin resistance. This lifestyle is amazing (one meal a day). I get more time to do things and don't have to worry about food. In addition, I feel full all the time. If anyone has any references on backing up what the article says, please share.Last edited by sparkleys; 07-27-2011 at 04:25 AM.

Upped my water intake to a little less than a gallon a day. I've noticed I started to feel really thirsty during some times of the day. Also, on these non-workout rest days with high fat, I've noticed a nauseous feeling after my KFC meal. Don't know if it means anything, but figured I'd share.Last edited by sparkleys; 07-28-2011 at 05:10 AM.

Good job brah. Haven't checked in on here in awhile. Good to see you're making some good progress. As for me, I've been losing a little more than a pound a week. Would have liked to be losing more but I'm still happy. Lifts have been the same or got better.
How are your lifts now, did you gain or lose strength?I ALWAYS RAPE back if you leave REP BACK on comment!!

If you want to preserve as much Muscle mass as possible you probably shouldnt hae days with more than a 20% deficit.
