Diet advice (mr. X or others in the know)

[Lao Tzu]

i'm 277, around 27% bf. I can't do the anabolic diet, so im trying the 30/40/30 diet (it may end up being 40/40/20, don't know if that matters).

my maintenance calories are about 4100-4500 a day. I'm cutting down to 3000 a day. Is that too big of a cut? would i need fat mobilizers to ensure that bodyfat is used for energy?

i'm not doing alot of cardio. 30min 3x a week of moderate intensity is what i'm doing.

I want to add some drugs to the mix. Something to keep metabolism up, an appetite suppressant & something to release fat stores. I guess ECA, yohimburn & ALA is probably a good bet for that.

***********
I would recommend 40% protein/20% carbs/40%fat

my maintenance calories are about 4100-4500 a day.
*************
how do you figure that? you BMR is 277x12 which is about 3325cal per day

I'm cutting down to 3000 a day. Is that too big of a cut? would i need fat mobilizers to ensure that bodyfat is used for energy?
**************
3000 is perfect, around 10-15% below BMR. I do not see what you mean by "fat" metabolizers, those are none existant unless you refer to things like ephedrine which are stumilators

i'm not doing alot of cardio. 30min 3x a week of moderate intensity is what i'm doing.
*************
if you're 25%bf, then you need to do cardio 5x week for 30-45min as a start

I want to add some drugs to the mix. Something to keep metabolism up, an appetite suppressant & something to release fat stores. I guess ECA, yohimburn & ALA is probably a good bet for that.
*******************
NCY, ECA, yohimburn, R-ala, are all GREAT products....I would get a few bottles of Yohimburn and start the application 2-4x a day

Re: Re: Diet advice (mr. X or others in the know)

i measured how many calories i ate in a day, and came up with about 4100-4500 when i ate normally.

why would i need 40% protein? that is about 300 grams a day.

Will doing more cardio matter when you have more bodymass to burn? if so i will try that too.

*************
that means you were overeating

*****************
protein is a much better macronutrient for fat-loss then carbs because of the increased LBM that is possible w/ proper protein intake

Will doing more cardio matter when you have more bodymass to burn? if so i will try that too.
**********************
of course it will, you need to do at least 60min cardio daily
