O.k., I'm gonna try and be objective here: I tried Crum's diet, and that is EXACTLY what happened with me. I did lose fat, but I probably lost just as much muscle too! Now that may be o.k. for some of the bigger guys on the board, but for a not-so-big guy like me, losing muscle is BAD. I've been on this ISO "diet" now for only 2 days, I already feel and look better. I'm sure Crum's diet works for a lot of guys, but I think for me personally, a more "balanced" diet definitely works better.
NJstacked, isn't this ISO diet basically a Body-for-Life type diet (or vice-versa)? Also, what do you think about Par Deus' leptin theories and refeeding on this type of a plan? What about cheat-free days? Appreciate your advice.

Oh yeah, how do a think a gram/day of ALA would fit in here?
This ratio stuff has me confused. I was always under the impression that a 50/30/20 (P/C/F) split was lets say 200g protein, 120g carbs, and 80g of fat. Is that false, that you don't calculate it by number of grams but amount of calories?
Yesterday this is what I ate...
Calories - 1890
Protein - 192g (53%) - 770 cals - (40%)
Carbs - 80g (22%) - 320 cals - (17%)
Fat - 89g - (25%) - 800 cals (42%)
How are my ratios?

damn I just read this whole fucking thread
Nice post, fuck carbless diets - all they do is depress and piss people off. My x- girlfriend became a fucking wierdo because of the low carb craze. Her fucking life revolved around eating and all she did was think and talk about food... and why??? DEPRIVATION. When you can't have something you want it twice as bad. I know I do, and when eating clean and not eating certain foods, I usually end up blowing it in an all out gorge fest- feeling like shit still not satisfied and all hard work goes down the tubes. I truely think many poeple take their diets to extreme - including myself. But I do agree with NJ, and MOhauk, that balance is everything. This diet does allow you to eat more foods for a much more appealing variety, just don't eat in excess and stay below maintanence calories to shed the fat.
I'm going to try it

I weigh 190:
so I got 188gm protein and carbs
and 83gm of fat.
I tell you I'm scared of not eating at least a gm of protein per bodyweight. I haven't done that in years, I usually eat damn near 40 grams per meal >4 meals 2-3 shakes. When I wake up at night I pound a protein shake and add some flax or eat a couple bites of cottage cheese. I sometimes do this 2x a night...trying to keep constant aminos floating around in my body. I don't know how many calories a day I'm currenty consuming but I eat pretty clean. So it can't be that much. I'm going to figure it out then ask questions...lata

Check my post on.."uh oh I think im losing muscle"
I tried the diet for 4 weeks and lost weight. Almost 10 pound to be exact. And my body fat decresed by 1-2% so 2% of 226 is like what? 4-5 pounds? So where id the other 5pounds come from? Muscle or glycogen?
Anyway I decided to stop that today. I am increasing ,carbs... up to 150-200g I feel better while eating that way. No restrictions with the GF. It sucks when I cant eat what she is eating. Steak and salade is fine but gets boring real quick. A nice potato or rice would be fine.

so your saying the diets no good...you lost alot of muscle? Well I can understand since on this diet your not even eating a gram of protein per body weight. I think that may be asking for catabolism. But I don't know, I'm just trying to experiment with diferent strategies to see what works best for getting and staying lean- while keeping muscle. I got great results with this diet at T-mag- can't remember which one it was though. You eat protein and carbs -minimal fat in early day meals and protein and fat- minimal carbs in evening meals...it worked good for me. I think I will go back to somthing like that. I think the main thing for people in bodybuilding trying to change their composition should stay just under maintanence calories- while keeping protein intake pretty high, but I'm no science expert- just kinda make sence.
