Q1.
The Sust/Deca stack was suggested by a close friend (competitor). After reading the boards, I realized that it was a bit aggressive for a 1st cycle, but also knew that the 1st cycle also produces the best gains. I did my blood before and after, took all the vitamins, and drank at least 2 gallons water day.
Q2.
This was my diet EVERY SINGLE DAY (occasionally cheated with sweets but always maintained the protein) for the 12 weeks of my cycle. It became very boring but knowing that it was a temporary thing made it easier to survive. I ate a large portion of my calories after workout and even started making a protein shake to drink when I woke up to take a piss half-way through the night (set it right on the bathroom counter in a bowl of ice). I have a full spreadsheet if anyone is interested.

I work from my home so taking time to prepare/eat meals was easier for me than most people, but it was difficult - almost painful at times - to eat so much food. Yes, I spent a lot of time on the toilet. Truthfully, my gains are muscular; shirts didn't fit in the shoulders and pants didn't fit in the ass (not the waist), but now that I am off the AS, I have seen my waist getting a little bigger - probably because I have continued to eat a little too much.
