dtone's 25lbs in 25 days diet

over the holidays i got pretty sloppy. which i don't really care about, but the problem is that it starts messing with my body. i start having terrible back, knee and hip pain when i reach a certain weight.

so, just like everyone else, i made a new years resolution to lose weight. but i did it a little differently than most people. i took what i have done over the past few years of dieting during cutting seasons and compressed it into a 4 week progressive diet. cardio was done at a moderate intensity (one that i could carry on a conversation while doing it), 6 days a week.

***i should say that this is an extremely advanced diet and not for those who are unfamiliar with the process or the physiological/psychological effects of such dieting.***
I am also on AAS (test c 750mg/wk, deca 500mg/wk), but this had no effect on my weight loss and should not be used with the intention of weight loss. enough bullshit, here's my diet:

I initially planned to run this diet 4 wks, but after 25 days I had gone from 217lbs 15%bf to 192lbs 9% bf (25 lbs)...i figured that was enough. I felt completely fine while on it. since it was only one month, i didnt have time to get drained.

I also had one cheat meal a wk in which i ate whatever the hell i wanted as long as i got it all in in under 2 hrs. When i got off, I just re-introduced healthy carbs again, basically going back to week 1's diet and doing cardio 3-4 times a wk, 30min pwo. i did not bounce back, but the carbs helped fill me out again. No loss in strength, change in mood, sleeping pattern, or libido were noted. and all of my body pains ceased to exist.

Supplements:
Multivitamin
4g fish oil/ed (not on pro/veg days)

there is your quick cutting diet for any of you who want to just clean things up a bit fast and don't mind a little sacrifice.

**3j - i didnt take the time to break down the macros and my bmr, you can do it if you get bored.

...i dont think you understand. egg whites and spinach all day make tying your shoes an incredible feat. vegetarians depend heavily on carbs and fat, on protein/veg days you cant have fat or carbs...its a party.

Doesnt seem too bad. I think Im conditioned to dieting now. Im only taking in around 1200 cals and all keto foods. Its working, but Im having a party too :sadwavey:
 
i double dog dare you to run the last week of my cutting diet and tell me its not too bad. functioning on one macronutrient does things to you no one can imagine. give me a sec, ill write you a trial diet to test how conditioned to dieting you are....

you can replace chicken with fish or 99% lean ground turkey, thats it. the point is on those days there is no fat or carb, which is why you cant use beef on those days. also you can't have fish oil or CLA. you can sub any vegetables with green veggies or mushrooms.

Ill give it a shot, it actually sounds good to me right now. Im getting sick of keto!

Dont worry Ill keep a log for you :)
 
you do realize that pro/veg is much harder than keto, right? pro/veg is as extreme as it gets. keto doesnt have shit on pro/veg.

oh, and btw, throw in grad school midterms and 30hrs of work/wk and come back and tell me 'its not too bad'...this is going to be hilarious.
