Competition Question

[ann]

Any ladies , say 8 weeks out from a contest, ever do any binge eating to jump start the ole metabolism again after weeks of strict dieting??

Why won't you just listen to the pros. They told you what to do.... NOW JUST DO IT!!!!!!!!

 

[ann]

Cause I am scared.....just want to hear from Sassy and New @ possibly on the matter

The opinions will vary here, but "strict dieting" in my opinion is what gets one into trouble in the first place. There should be one ad libitum feeding day (within reason) per week until about 3 - 4 weeks out from a show, otherwise you crash before you get there. Furthermore, if you're rotating your carb days, you shouldn't be having any problems with your metabolism.

I appreciate the replies guys I would still like to hear if any other ladies who have competed did binge like that , and get some good results. I asked this on another board, and all the men said they do it to shock their systems, and all said they got good results. Just curious if any ladies here , competing, ever did it?

And thankfully, I am not going stark mad completely yet on this diet

I can't add much here - by 8 weeks out I was well tied into a strict diet. Up until 8 weeks I did have occassional cheats but never did a binge.

Right now I'm at 13 weeks out and since I've been having company all week my diet has pretty much taken a shit , as well as my training. My trainer isnt' gonna be real excited, but I just haven't been much "into" competition right now... personal reasons.

I defer to the other more experienced peeps. Might check w/ the guys too or on the diet board.

Thanks Sassy.....and jump back on that wagon girl

Ok W6; I binged, felt bloated like a starving ethiopian child......had a trip to the bathroom ( something got me stirring ) and my six pack is poking back thru.......

Hopefully it will help a little on the scale this week.

I was on a strict no frills diet for 12 straight weeks...maybe that is why I was so small???

There should be one ad libitum feeding day (within reason) per week until about 3 - 4 weeks out from a show, otherwise you crash before you get there.

W6, what happens after the 3-4 weeks out mark? Just suck it up and ride heavy on the strict diet all the way in?
