Diet and Cycle Questions

[Brawler]

Alright guys, I'm new and some of my questions are probably pretty generic. Any input is GREATLY appreciated and I love the forums, they cut out so much BS, but I'll keep the ass kissing to a minimum.

I'm 18 years old, 6'4, and almost exactly 300 lb's. I've got large bone structure(I can't get my thumb and middle finger around my wrist), but In short, I'm a fat bastard. My scale(which I'm sure isn't a marvel of modern science) says I'm at 33% BF. Thats probably pretty close.

Anyways, I've been lifting for about 5 months and I've worked pretty hard and put on considerable muscle. I'm just now making the decision to move into a hardcore diet and lose at least 60 lb's. I'm extremely committed and I am confident I will keep up on the cardio and not cheat.

My goal: Turn my diet completely around, go low carb/high protien, do cardio at least 3 times a week, hit the weights 3 times a week, and lose this weight as efficiently as I can.

I am thinking of doing 2 week on/2 week off Clenbuterol cycles while using NYC and Glucorell R in my off days. I don't expect any of this stuff to be magic quick fixes, I understand that diet, cardio, and just getting off my ass is the real key here, but if I can get extra help from these, I'll do it.

Do you guys see anything wrong with a cycle like that? Should I be using Glucorell R while on clen or is Glucorell R a waste of time altogether? Why have I heard that you should do cardio in the morning on an empty stomach? Any recommendations in this area would be really helpful.

Also, any tips that people usually miss on dieting or anything else that might help me out in my situation? From researching diet it looks like I should be consuming 450g of protien, 175g of carb, and 75g of fat per day. I'm not exactly sure how many calories I should be consuming but if you guys can point me in the right direction, it would really help.

Thanks in advance, forums have taught me TONS and I admire the hell out of you guys for the discipline and work you put into your routines.

You could do a CKD. Do a search on that, it's very effective.

I wouldn't take anything else, you just need a good diet, discipline and training hard. Reason being... your body will adjust to the diet and training eventually. You have to be constantly changing things in order for your body to keep responding. If you hit your body all of a sudden with the diet, cardio, clen, NYC, your body will adapt to that and you'll hit a plateau in a few months. Then what are you going to do? You can only do so much. If you start slow you can always do more. Start out slow, give your body some time to adjust to the diet and training. Then evaluate in another 6-8 weeks, or whenever the weight doesn't come off as easily and make some adjustments to your diet and cardio. Just play it smart, listen to your body. Don't try to do too much too soon. Hope this helps. Peace bro.

Thanks a lot for the info, so you think not using anything for a couple months is the way to go?

Going high protien, low carb, I should be doing cardio in the morning on an empty stomach? I was always told you should have something in you when you're doing cardio? Is there a big difference between going really low carb and completely cutting carbs out CKD style? Also, how many calories less should I be taking in than my estimated caloric intake for my bodyweight? Thanks again.

It depends on how strict you want to be. btw the "sticky" on the top of the page by MR.X CKD will outline everything in that regard. (if you choose the CKD)
Re deficit of calories BMR is bodyweight X 12 and then you subtract a percentage for your deficit like 5%, 10%, It`s in the CKD article.
Cardio on empty in the morning has been argued both ways If you CAN I would do it in the morning (on empty) but would`nt kill myself to trying to make my schedule fit. jmho

Low carbs/No carbs. If you`re doing CKD you`re either in ketosis or NOT. In ketosis your body is burning fat for fuel but when you have ANY type of carb you get kicked out of ketosis very easily and it defeats the purpose.
I`ve been doing CKD for < 2months from 230 to < 210 and lost ALOT of FAT. 6ft. 3
I have been taking NYC or EC nothing else really. good luck

OK last questions, thanks for all the good input.

Whats the downside to not taking in enough calories? Whats your energy level like on CKD? Do you feel really low all the time? Also, I have a fairly busy work schedule, is it realistic to go on CKD if I have a pretty tight schedule? How simple is CKD to do? I usually find that the simpler the thing is, the easier it is to follow through. Thanks again.
