Finally after several attempts at cutting I am successful. I've tried everything: keto, ckd, tkd, crumb's diet.... you name I've tried it. After failing again and again I decided to try something different. I realized all you really need is a diet with a calorie deficit, plain and simple. I remember freshman year in college I got cut eating a diet plan consisting of :
-2 meal replacement drinks in the morning
- working out
- two pieces of chicken, white rice and a bowl of cheerios
-two boxes of Mike and Ikes and a bag pretzels ( I thought eating any fat a at night would automatically be stored as body fat)
Granted I loosed a shit load of muscle in the process, after following that for a 10 week quarter I was at my lowest bf ever- my only goal at the time. The only reason for it being successful was I created a calorie deficit and I got to eat the foods I wanted. But that was a while ago and when I weighed a 135 puny pounds. Currently I weigh 160, 25lb improvement in two years of work, thanks to boards like these and lots of reading.
Before starting my cutting diet 8 weeks ago, I was up to 180 at the end of a long bulking phase (more like pigging out). So instead of deciding on some structured diet, I decided to go another route and just focus on eating clean foods and not worry so much about the numbers. Of course I would always have whey/dextrose for my post workout meal. A usual day would look like this:
meal1:fiber one cereal/ can of tuna/fish oils
meal2: snack of fiber one/peanuts
meal3: oatmeal/whey
workout
meal4:whey/dextrose
meal5:refried beans/chicken
meal6:can of tuna/fish oils/fiber one
Weights 4 days a week with a little cardio afterwards depending on how I felt, and cardio in the morning (of course with NYC and yohimburn) on my off days. Usually it took me around 5-7 days until I started feeling leptin levels to drop and then would schedule a controlled refeed day. On my refeeds I usually ate as much complex carbs (oatmeal/pasta/potatoes/rice) as I could stand with r-ala, not really worrying about how many calories I consumed. So thats it, and with this plan I went from 15 bf to around 9 or 10 %. Not bad considering I really never counted calories or focused on the order of my meals. If I felt like having oatmeal right before bed, I had it . Usually I never would let myself have carbs at night. I just recently started adding Fiber one cereal to my diet, although not the tastiest food in the world it was enough to suffice any hunger I would get between meals, and with 14g of fiber no way can it be a bad snack.
Well I can't procrastinate studying for my bio midterm any longer, f*ck the quarter system!!!
I had more to add but I gotta go
