If your diet is consisting of 30% or higher of carbs, then refeed days aren't going to be necessary. I think they can be more counter productive since you'll be adding more calories over your maintenance level. Some people say to do it to "trick" your metabolism, but I'm not too sure about...

220g of protein enough? Depends on what the rest of the diet break down looks like. How much fat and carbs? If doing a 40/30/30, 33/33/33/, or anything above that with protein, I doubt you're getting enough calories to bulk.

Without carbs, no. Somebody new to weightlifting would be able to, but anybody that has been lifting for a while will not. Some people will say their strength went up while doing one of these type diets, but there is a difference in gaining strength and gaining size.

I find I work best on low carb diets, but then that creates a whole other problem, if I stay on it too long, my free test levels plummet to neutered man status.

Wow!! Looking hot there rez!

With a workout routine like that, do you plan on retiring from body building/weight training in the next year or 2 from injuries??

Just FYI, also this diet is nothing like a keto diet because you are taking in way too much protein. To answer your question, I was on the diet for 3 weeks, it really worked well for those 3 week. I stopped the diet b/c I have been below my maintenance level for over a year, with me binged...

Is it normal to have lower sex drives when dieting? I've noticed when I was a fat ass, I had a really high sex drive. Now that I constantly stay around 10% give or take a little all year around, I've notice my sex drive continues to drop. Anybody else have this problem?

Crum, would you consider 5 whole eggs a day and extra lean ground beef to be healthy fat in your orginal diet? As long as the fat and protein fits the macro break down of it.

Either need to up your carbs or fat, with them both that low, you're using protein as energy, IMHO it's a sh!tty source of energy. When cutting I'd up the fat before carbs. I manage to cut a lot easier with low carbs, medium fat, high protein. Just take carbs post workout, pre workout if you...

Thanks for replying back. I'm only 168 pounds, so the protein should be good. I've been on the diet for a week, and one of the better cutting diets I've been on. I can already see what little fat I have on me disappearing.

Hey Crum, I was wondering if I could get your approval on this diet for the original diet. Everything look OK, or should I change anything Meal 1 (pre workout): 20g of whey, 1 tbsp of flaxseed oil Meal 2 (post workout): 1/2 cup of oatmeal, 40g of whey Meal 3: 2 whole eggs, 4 egg whites...

For the sweet cravings, what you could use is some sugar free jello with a little bit of cool whip on top. For chocolate, try the protein bars as VDL suggested or sugar free chocolate pudding.

When I was bulking during the winter on my cheat days, I'd go all out, I'm talking about atleast 10,000 calories of junk food. Now I'm cutting, on my cheat days (minus Valentine's Day, I kinda fooked up) I'll only eat junk food once a week, and just 1 or 2 servings of whatever I'm craving that...
