Currently I can't sleep more than 3 hours at a time.
Last night I woke up and had a single prodesert from cnp (25p 2f 4c) and that helped me get back to sleep.

I did have a nice moment of inspiration last night as I was doing body fat for lots of guys in the gym.
The leanest one came out at 15% (none of them were fat as such but obviously not lean).
Then this AM using the same calipers (lang calipers) and the same calculator I came out at 6%.
This gives me nice reassurance that although it sucks my diet does work!

I don't get it. I can cut, whilst working in a chocolate factory. Doesn't bother me. But then I do have epic refeeds once every 7 days when cutting.

Is this to reach your baseline and adjust your set point?

But also, when not cutting do you crave chocolate? Or no cos it's always there in front of you?

Started the year at 220lb down to 203lb now. Hasn't been too bad, I tried a CKD before and it was good, but energy for training suffered. I convinced myself that I didn't tolerate carbs well and that I'd only be able to cut using some type of keto.
This year I just tried a regular calorie reduction and I've had a few slip ups but I'm finding that I'm losing fat at the same speed and energy in the gym and strength is not suffering at all. Only thing is that it is harder to control the calories and cravings but I'm doing well so far. Really want to get lean this year...

Cannot be fuked dieting today. Not craving anything in particular, just in a foul mood all of a sudden and just want to take the day off and binge, chuck my prep all together.

First day of feelin like this. Defo more to come.

I'd rather be craving x and y that have this feeling. Pain in the arse. All of a sudden you can get this I find. It's all pointless and why the fuk am I doin it.

More days of this coming for you, just the way it is - my gut feeling is you have had your "easy" losses, milked that as much as you can.

6 weeks true fat loss left for NABBA? Going to be tight if you want to bring your best game...

Definately. Else I'd be eating a pile of sh1te right now

6 weeks of tough stuff to remove then a week of water manip and waiting about hell

I'm starting a cut Monday...

Cant handle further bulking after a weeks all inclusive, to be fair I don't need to cut, i look decent its purely down to the fact that I just can't handle eating all this food anymore, I need a break from eating for the sake of my sanity, I'm just a snappy twat, ridiculous saying for everyone else it's the reverse, i.e they get fvcked off dieting, I'm sat in nandos now awaiting half a chicken, 2 rice and a steak roll and I'm just not looking forward to it at all... Eating anything fvcks me off already, I've always been sh1t at this piling food in business hence my penchant to use more drugs to compensate to some extent.

Its all the carbs I struggle with, suppose next time I'll drop carbs and increase fats when I bulk, see how that goes.


But for now, starting Monday im kicking off 12 weeks of dieting, least I'll look sh1t hot come summer.


Ill prob be pitching in with rants come the back end of march.

Yeh mate me to, at work I have pros and fat in meals and whey and oats in shakers, but actual food I eat just pros and fats so much easier


Get ripped up mate, start a journal you ******

I made this post on facebook and then remembered this thread and thought it was relevant "today has been hard, felt really tired and hungry...considered packing it in a couple of times. Even told my self that it's not like I will do well in physique class so why even bother. I then took a long good hard look at my life and realized how amazing it is in every way. I then realized that a little diet and being a little hungry is a joke as far as hard things go. Even if I don't place in ev...ery contest I do over the next couple of months it wont be a loss. This is due to the fact that I will gain knowledge to help my clients (I have approached every thing in a new manner this year and if it works well then some of my clients will have some changes coming :-)!) and secondly I always have wanted to be permantly lean and not just semi lean so by getting lean and holding it for a few months the chances of me being able to stay like this for good is much higher than it has in the past! Take a good look at your self every now and again and realize what you think is "hard" or "serious" really is not rather it is a sign of how lucky our lives are. Do you think 99% of the world population has the luxury of being worried about physical appearance, lol...I think not."

So come on guys dieting is a pleasure/luxury that we should enjoy and if we can't enjoy it at least lets see it for what it is.
