anybody into bodybuilding/powerlifting?

[Jand3rson]

that's good but I'm telling you the diet I posted up earlier is working crazy for me. I lost 10 pounds in 3 days so far after being on it for a week & a half. Weight didn't change last week but from Monday to Wednesday I lost 10 pounds. I work out then do 400 cals on the running machine, probably is more since it's just some generic number.

What I'm doing right now seems to be working quite well. Every person's body is different.

Same. I've been in this lifestyle for about 8 months now, and I feel and look better than I've ever felt in my life. I don't see myself ever changing. I've gone from 245 lbs to 213, hoping to get to 200, gone down 2 pant sizes, and I feel better in everything I do. My only regret is that it took 20 years to get to this point.

should also make you look younger. People think I'm 5-6 years younger than I am. And older guys at the gym look 10 years younger.

So starting Sunday, I cut my carbs down to about 1/4 of what I was eating. I haven't gone over about 70-90g carbs in 4 days, while also keeping my calories about 200-300 under my goal per day, and I've already lost about 2 more pounds. Scale at the gym this morning was just hovering at a hair over 213. Before, I was keeping my calories down to about where I just stated, but my carbs were up around 200-350g per day. Also making myself drink a shit-ton more water, not that I wasn't drinking a lot before, but even more now.

So I'm taking in about 2000-2100 calories per day, while burning about 400-500 at the gym 5 days per week with 2 rest days. Possibly more, because I'm right now just going by the calorie counter on the cardio machines, and what MyFitnessPal figures I'm burning for about 20-25 minutes of strength training.

The people with extreme diets are few and far between.. some people are legitimate, however you will mainly see some people who think if they do that they will reach their goals.. this is not something short term. That's why they get burnt out and quit. I do not think I will ever "quit" this "lifestyle". I love eating healthy and being physically fit.

So you guys eating these cocktails of egg whites and chicken breasts
is this the plan for the rest of your lives or just a hobby for now to look big, then
you're over it?

When will you say screw it and get a nice cheesburger combo or a breakfast burrito.

Well this is just a misconception... Yes I eat eggs, oatmeal, and chicken every day, but these are essentials. I eat more than pretty much everyone I know, I eat anything I want... yes burritos, cheeseburgers, ice cream, cake, etc, and still in better shape than 4/5 people I know.

I've been doing it for 10 years now just not this perfect at the moment.

Nice meals! We're definitely on the same page as each other. I've done keto pizza before and it was fucking delicious but i havent tried the beef crusts... Mmmm beefcrusts


lol yes. exactly


this is pretty decent but theres no way to get the nutritional requirements from just this. its not exactly a ketogenic diet and not exactly a bulk diet. if i ate like this at 180lbs 6'2, I'd lose a ton of weight and a bunch of muscle.

well I didn't post some fruit in the morning also and protein shakes after workout. So no you wouldn't lose muscle, it's more than 200g of protein.

Way of Life! Most people that eat clean as a way of life, have a cheat day, or % of cheat meals each week....Totally butting in out of left field. LOL

best meal plan I've used

6 egg whites in morning & 16oz water
snack scoop of peanut butter
lunch 1 chicken breast sandwich on 1 slice of 100% wheat & 16oz water
snack scoop of peanut butter
dinner 2 chicken breast, mixed veggies or salad & cup of mashed potatoes.

do this 6 days a week then on 7th day eat what ever the fuck you want but don't go over board
also try not to drink alcohol the most weight I lose is from not drinking.

I eat more than that for breakfeast lmao, but Im not trying to lose weight.

Have a read brother. http://www.reddit.com/r/keto/wiki/faq

When I was on it, this is what my day typically looked like.

Breakfast - 4 egg omelette with cheese and mushrooms, several strips of bacon
Lunch - Caesar salad with gobs of cheese and dressing, tuna/chicken/egg salad
Snack(s) - More bacon or protein shake with several scoops of psyllium husk
Dinner - Ribeye (a fatty cut of steak of some sort) cooked in butter, broccoli and more cheese
Late night snack maybe - another shake with more psyllium

Honestly, the hardest part was hitting my fat requirements. No carb was the easy part.

My absolute favorite dish was a keto pizza. You use ground beef as your crust. Oh god my mouth is watering now.
