Spatt's cutting diet is working

[Scarlett33]

Been stuck at #170 for 4.5 week's . Since starting Spatt's cutting diet 3/20 have dropped #3!!! Also increased water intake to 1.5gal/day from 1gal. Thank you Spatt's

Cool! It's working for me too (again).

Keep in mind that you lose alot of water when you start managing carbs, so don't get used to always losing that fast. Fat comes off slower...and last.

Down 2.5 more pound's this Am. Even though it's mostly H2O it's still a pych. boost I didn't do this well on keto diet, and on that my work-out's were lame! Feeling great on Spatt's diet, don't feel deprived sp and not missing bread,cracker's and all the other high carb. crap I used to think I had to have

 

[JLo]

where's the link to spatts diet?

 

[spatts]

Scarlett, that's so nice to hear. I was 179 this morning, so I'm loving it too...and strength is up.

JLo, I will post a rough idea of it here, I don't do it exactly like this anymore, since I don't train in the AM, and I don't use the creatine or glutamine anymore...the food choices, frequency, ratios, etc...are all the same though:

Spatts' Cutting Diet

You would have to alter the times by when you train, and cycle the carbs 3 days low (.5g/kg body weight) and 2 days high (2.0g/kg body weight), or high on training days and low on non training days. The diet in the link represents the 100g CHO median.

1Kg = 2.2046 lbs

This time around, I've been eating a little less fat on the higher carb days and a little more on the low carb days (30-40 on high carb, 40-50 on low carb). This seems to be working just as well, and I can eat a wider variety of meats on low carbs days. Likewise, it forces better carb choices on high carb days, since most of the foods I want that are high carb and low fat are things like oats, sweet taters, rice, etc...

tater tots - yummy

 

[spatts]

Oh...and I'm also using R-ala on an as needed basis on high carb days, when the meal is more on the high GI side. That's not very often for me, but you might get more use from it than I do.

 

[Scarlett33]

LOve this diet!!! Did carb up day on friday and even though I made really bad carb selection's{ fried catfish, hushpuppies french fries and coke} am still down this am, to 164.5. I did go on a 10 mile hike Sat. so that had to help some I think I'll start keeping a journal in the journal area ,that way if I quit which I won't , it'll be embarrassing

"fried catfish, hushpuppies french fries and coke"

If you enjoyed it, and it is only one meal like that a week, then don't worry about it. The 10 mi hike took care of the fat.

Personally I'd drop the coke and add beer with that food mix. Fits better.

Wilson,

I agree beer does go better but I live in a dry county. I have to drive 2hrs round trip to get any booze


Scarlett

 

[spatts]

Dry county? Those still exist? I could hook you up with a source...

 

[Scarlett33]

We actually have a neighbor who is a "boot legger" and when we wanted beer or wine we would just buy from him. Turn's out he was also dealing pot and was busted with 160 lbs a few month's ago, needless to say he is out of business. His dad is a judge so he's not in jail I could alway's resort to making my own home brew, just so many carb's!!!!!

Spatts, I am curious about the B complex supplementation first thing in the morning. also wondering about how much and which brand you take.


thanks
Ryce

 

[spatts]

ryce, I don't use most of those sups anymore, that's just what I was doing at the time.

These days I stick to injectable B12, liquid vits, liquid mins, Udos, and most recently, fish oil caps. That's it!

still curious about the Vit B role in your diet plan.

 

[spatts]

I'm not sure what you're asking me.

B1, B2, B3, for energy production, B6 is essential for amino acid metabolism, and vitamin B12 and folic acid aids steps required for cell division. Immune boost, food back-up, etc...

I never really thought about it much, I just took extra because I was working my ass off and not eating as much.

Spatts I was asking because among hundreds of different supplements you seemed to almost single out in terms of importance the B Complex. Which is an "old timer " supplement. I once start taking it 2 or 3 times a day 350mg tabs and, although I don't recall well, I think I felt some noticeable difference. Is it ergonenic to you ( I am sure the injectable is ) or you are just covering some lack due hard training poor intake combo?

thanks

commonly B vites are found in grains, which you will be lacking when controlling your carbs.

 

[Smurfy]

i think i am going to try spatts cutting diet while learning and working the big 3 lifts. do i haev to cycle the carbs as you suggest (3 days low carb/2 days high) or can i pretty much keep it at 100g a day? im trying to make this as simple as possible. thanks

 

[spatts]

The whole point of the diet is to drop body fat through carb rotation. You will not excel in the 3 lifts on a cutting diet unless you're juicing, and even then, I wouldn't recommend it.

...otherwise, it's not "spatt's cutting diet," it's just "a really healthy way to eat." lol

 

[Smurfy]

in regards to the diet, if nothing else, it will be a VAST improvement to what i got going on right now which is crap LOL and i will quickly see results since my current diet is nothing but whatever i feel like eating at the time. and as far as the lifting goes, i am in the learning phase...meaning i havent even done a deadlift in my life and i have not squatted outside the smith machine so as far as im concerned, i havent squatted in my life either LOL i did one real tough bench workout so far so basically im brand new to this type of lifting. i just want to learn correct form right now i am not really looking to "excel" just yet hehe.

 

[spatts]

You should always be looking to excel. Otherwise you're wasting your time.

Just my humble opinion...assuming I'm capable of one.

 

[Smurfy]

well if to say excel you mean to get better of course that is my goal or why would i waste my time and effort. if not, id just sit at home watching sit-coms and soaps and eat bon-bons lol
ive already gotten better and look forward to more improvements in the future
