I've lost around 80-83 pounds over the past 20 months and have made the transition from powerlifting to bodybuilding.....(from 246-247 to 162-164)......i've done CKD Diets, Zone type diets, and other forms of underfeeding to get the fat off.....now, i need to lose that last little bit for a full, clearly defined set of abs....
I lift 6 days a week (3 days on, 1 day off, repeat) and do 20-30 minutes of cardio followed by a 10-30 min. sauna. Under the advice of Par Deus (who is a very nice guy for always answering my nagging questions through email), i've employed overfeeding days every four days after three days of around 250 g of protein, 200 g of carbs, and 2100-2500 total calories......i usually put away 5,000 cals on my overfeeding days, sometimes even more. It doesn't seem to put any real weight back on me (except for water weight which always go away in a day).....believe it or not I'm usually still hungary after a day of eating 5,000+ cals......I think this is ok since i am probably below my fat set point (i am classic endomorph) and this probably keeps my leptin levels up. Starting in August, I will probably do an Anabolic or CKD type diet for 4 weeks to get ripped before i leave for school in September.
Here's my concerns:
Are my calories too high on the refeed days? 5,000+ cals sounds like a lot, but i'm still hungary and this is usually a sign of low leptin levels. Should my overfeeds be more frequent and or lower in cals?
It should be noted that i'm taking yohimbine, which can raise my body temp to 99-100 degrees. I was also considering doing a cycle of Lipokinetix....any ideas or advice would be appreciated!
