hello my friend are you planning on gaining or losing wight?
i like having wholemeal tortillas (sparingly!!)... oats... tempeh and mixed beans (lentils, chick peas etc). weetbix with milk is good too! hehe. sweet potatoes and white potatoes are good carb sources too but if ur on a cut i wld recommend u go for the sweet potatoes cos of the lower GI, and i find it helps control carb/sugar cravings too.

please do cook your eggs! you could catch a bacterial infection from raw eggs or food poisoning.

and from experience.... farts stink if you dont chew ur food properly or dont hv enough fibre in ur daily diet. ive had up to 18 eggs a day with no gassy problems. speaking of which... where are your veggies?? lol.

fibre? do u mean psyllium supplements or drinks?

well... nothing beats having natural foods instead of relying on supplements... and there r a whole lot of antioxidants n vitamins in vegetables. find a few that u like and stick to them.

i agree with darklight.
breakfast needs to be good.... your chance to EAT UP!!! (hooo boy do i loooove breakfast!)

seriously.... lol.
if i dont eat during breakfast.... i know i cant eat other times of the day. so if i want carbs.... its breakfast! unless if its cheat day lol
and when im craving carbs at night.... i hang on knowing i can have them in the morning

and yes tango u can have oats with milk.
i always have mine raw. dont ask me why lol i just like em like that!

mine r steel cut oats so they dont turn sticky so fast.

just put in mouth and chew la lol. tastes funny and very dry at first but once u get used to that its pretty okay if not with little bit of milk like tango suggested is great too

LADY Vanity.
Go figure.

darklight, im assuming the extract from the sticky that gtoforce posted is for general manteinance or bulking?

whey not a great thing?? well of course natural foods are always better off compared to supplements, and supps should NEVER become a substitute for regular foods (they are called SUPPLEMENTS for a reason lol) but i still strongly believe that shakes REALLY help make the most out of your training and nutrition.

okay guys im gonna post what i had today. its my low carb day and i HOPE im getting this correct. ive been told im taking too much carbs, and my experimenting with eating "normal food" pre and post workout yielded, well, disastrous results.

me preworkout today was chicken breast and veggies. yuck.

postworkout was a protein shake and glutamine, which im hoping to wean myself off in due time and substitute with egg whites instead.

post-postworkout meal i had a bowl of sup daging with a palm-sized portion of lean beef in it.

im going to go boil 5 eggs right now to munch on before hitting the sack.

wanna guess how much mercury is in a can of tuna?
i know canned tuna is used as a control sample for lab testing to SHOW the presence of mercury!
should we stop eating that too??

personally.... i dont know. (whoops too late i just bought the entire rack at giant) damned if you do, damned if you don't. im not ready to give up my favorite, convenient protein-packed munchies!

i like you. lol

whee darkie we're on d same diet?
im enjoying my carb load too... ive had oreos and famous amos and some PBJ sandwiches... and using the weekend to hv all the fruits n veggies ive been missing in the week too. including durian.

but i think i shld go easy on the sweet stuff next week. lols

really, pedro? that carb sensitive??
my first experience last weekend - whn i carb loaded i got "chubbier" and i look like im holding alot of water. but by tues or wednesday that all goes down after getting back on the hi fat hi protein. carb load is necessary on the AD/CKD to help with recovery and keeps me sane lol

i normally take lots of veggies and fruits too. but im trying out this new diet so for the meantime i gotta omit them. below 20g carbs a day for induction phase, and below 30g starting this week on. i still take a small amount of celery and broccoli everyday tho, and some of my carbs are still coming from dressing like wholegrain mustard and protein shakes.



really? isnt AD a modified version of CKD? i thought u do spend a period of time in keto during the week =/ hmmm
but also im wondering.... AD, Bodyopus, CKD.... whats d darn difference????? LOL

ugh. its back to meat n' grease....... helllooooo bacon.....

david post ur diet up? how low is "low carb" also?

IMO ur body will definitely adapt to the low carb in the sense that u dont feel moody/tired etc cos ur body becomes used to running on fats like in a keto diet.
if ur weight loss is stalling, perhaps it cld be activity level or calorie intake, not just dieting. just becos ur on a hi protein low carb diet doesnt mean u can eat as much hi protein stuff as u like. excess that ur body doesnt need is still going to spillover into fat.

I have a question.
I know its bad to roll your shoulders when you do shrugs... but what about alternating shrugs to the back and to the front? meaning.... i do one set of shrugs behind the back.... and another set of shrugs holding the dbs in front of my thighs... and another set with dbs at the side of my body. and then i repeat all 3 variations again.

am doing about 12 reps per set, with a 2-5 sec pause at the top of the rep depending on how fatigued i feel. is this okay (the alternating angles) or do i still risk injury?

I do shrugs on shoulder day as the last exercise.

all of you grow traps so well T.T
i got skinny lil traps.... unless i flex really, REALLY hard. and i mean like pop-a-vein-and-shit-yourself kinda hard.

OH MY GOD r u my long lost twin brother??? we have almost the EXACT SAME shoulder routine!!

yes!!
i do trisets for delts alternate weeks. they're awesome.
i do trisets for legs once in awhile too as shock training - triset of leg extensions, lying hamstring curl and stiff-legged DLs.

and my two cents re BTN work... i think they're great workouts. i still do BTN presses, shrugs and lat pulldowns in spite of what everyone tells me. i strongly believe that its all about form. when doing BTN movements also i decrease the weight and go very slow. in the case of BTN presses... the bar never passes below my ears to avoid overstertching. if i need to do heavy i move to a smith machine.

haha try and c how it works for you. i only superset back.

go light first... "test drive" it and c how u like it... hehe. i was afraid too at first... but its not something i do often la lol. i have 2 leg days a week... gonna overtrain my way to toothpick legs and flat backside if i triset them so much!

it was just my two cents, darkie. sorry if i sounded like i was trying to make everyone do BTNs like its okay. personally i like them, but i dont recommend beginners doing either, and almost never give them to my clients. guess i shld've put a disclaimer in my post.

40kg BTN is LIGHT!? LOL!!!!! u scare shit outta me.
