This is will be my second round of PSMF; I will be following Lyle McDonald's RFL diet as outlined in his book, and my goal will be to cut down to 150 lbs. The fist time I went on this diet I had great success, and lost a total of 19.2 pounds... if everything goes as smoothly this time around, I should meet my goal by the end of week 6
I meet with my trainer twice a week, and she actually took my picture last Friday, so I might post it on here along with a picture of me when this is all said and done!
Thanks for the support!

I'm doing RFL as a Category 2 with Category 2 free meals and refeeds.
Today is the start of my second week as well. Let's rally together and fight through.
It's actually not that bad of a diet if you keep yourself busy and don't let yourself get in situations where you're not prepared or caught off guard.
Just take it one day at a time and make it happen.
Don't beat yourself up if you slip. Just get back and track on keep going.
Best of luck in reaching your goals!Only Those Who Risk Going Too Far Can Possibly Find Out How Far One Can Go

Oh great! Are you in this for 6 weeks as well?
I would agree that it's really not that bad; to be honest, I find this a very straight forward diet, which in turn makes it easy to follow... and all that protein you have to eat actually fills you up to the point where I for one have to supplement with whey because I just can't eat anymore :P
Thanks for taking the time to reach out and comment, I wish you the very best of luck on reaching your goals as well!!!

Well the EC stack kept me awake most of last night; with that being said...
-I had a really good work out this morning -- I do circuit training, and up until this point I have only been able to do [2 sets of 8 movements x 20 reps each], and that would take me an hour, but today I managed 3 sets x 8 movements x 20 reps, with 15 minutes to spare at the end! I guess you win some you lose some with EC

I'm starting with three weeks and going from there. Just doing a short run since I've been cutting hard since the end of July.
Really trying hard to not burn myself out. At the end of three weeks, I'll see where I'm at and see if I want or need to keep going.
I'll watch from the sidelines and make sure you stay on track as well!Only Those Who Risk Going Too Far Can Possibly Find Out How Far One Can Go

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
End of Week 3 - Overview
Week 3: Starting Weight: 160.2
Week 3: End Weight: 157.7
Week 3:Total Weight Loss: - 2.5
Week 4:
Body Composition

- so just to recap, today is week [4] day [2], I'm down to 157.7 from 168, so 10.3 lbs in well under a month. Sure, most of it is likely water weight, but I'm still happy with my progress I feel no significant loss of strength at the gym during my training, so I'm pleased with that. I still have trouble sleeping, but I think that's a small price to pay.
