I am banned!
So I'm 9 or so weeks into a cycle that was to be 22 weeks long. first half was to be a bulk running NPP, Deca, Dbol, Test, Proviron and then transitioning to lowering body fat after the bulk, also running Primo, Mast, and Tbol.
Any how,, 9 weeks in and I put on 30 pounds.. body fat is at 14%,, I have not hit my goal weight and was not planning to cut just yet,, but, feeling like total shit and unhealthy (my bulk was a very clean bulk with only clean foods).. My body is just not liking that I put on 30 pounds that quick,,
I'm lethargic, un-focused, trouble breathing, headaches constantly, high blood pressure (was 186/106 for some time,, then dropped to 150/90,, got it down a bit again, but then went back up).. So decided I'm going to cut back now,, lean out instead of continuing to bulk.
So,, I completely revamped my diet 6 days ago,, to what I will describe below. But, thus far in only 6 days of this diet I have lowered my blood pressure to 113/59 this morning.. lowest its ever been,, headaches are gone, lost 5 pounds (prob all water weight)..
Here is the diet
- 70-80 % fat
- 20-25% protein
- NO carbs (except what carbs show up in a few vegetables)
instead of eating lean cuts of white meat, lean beef, egg whites, etc.. I will be eating
- Bacon
- the fattiest cuts of steak I can get
- fattiest cuts of ground beef
- dark meat chicken and turkey dosed with a bunch of fatty gravy
- salmon
- whole eggs
- real raw BUTTER, lots of it on everything
- coconut oil
veggies -- green leafy veggies with the fattiest salad dressing I can get and plenty of fatty avocados and olives in there with it
again,, CARBS,, none whatsoever
here are my reasons for going with this diet..
- first off its not a bodybuilding diet per se,, I'm going with total body HEALTH first and foremost and the body building aspect is secondary
- the body only needs FAT and PROTEIN to survive,, carbohydrates are non essential.. why does the body store fat ? Because fat is needed for the body to function in all aspects (brain, hormones, energy, etc etc).. the body itself is made up of FAT and proteins, NOT carbohydrates (the brain itself is all fat),, carbs/sugars are essentially a drug thats taken into the body.. that drug converts to glucose and we then use that for energy (the body and the brain both),, instead of the natural way (using fat).. so I've eliminated carbs because I do not want to depend on glucose for energy and have up and down spikes in insulin levels all day.
- so having NO CARBS -- I need to replace those calories,, so its being replaced with FAT.. the essential food the body depends on the most (no fat, and you die) but isn't a high fat diet bad and unhealthy ? no,, but fats with carbs is unhealthy.. consuming fat does NOT make fat go into your fat cells,, consuming carbs is what does that. . Carbs, which are all just sugar, convert to glucose and insulin is raised and insulin is the ONLY hormone in the body that has the ability to drive this glucose to store fat into fat tissues for storage and to create more fat tissues.. take away the glucose and the insulin (i.e. take away the carb), and the fat that is consumed is used for body functions and energy,, NOT fat storage.
SO.. yes I'm eating a shit ton of FAT to get lean and begin to cut
- energy source for my body -- If I cut carbs out completely then I will not be having glucose in my system, which the brain and body use for energy,, and eventually all my glycogen stores will be depleted (glycogen is glucose stored in muscle cells).. so how will I have or get any energy.. ?
well with the absence of glucose and depleted glycogen stores my body will begin using my body fat for energy, and then when that process begins the body will produce its own natural source of energy to feed the body and brain.. Ketones -- the body will produce Ketone bodies which are natural (unlike sugars).. no more glucose,, the brain will rely completely on ketones,, and this comes from the fat burring process in the absence of glucose.. so, when my body is completely depleted of glycogen stores and has turned fully to fat burring mode,, I will then be producing ketones for energy and be in a state of "Ketosis"… Its been 6 days,, I'll probabley get there in about another week.
- Medium to LOW protein intake -- why ? Won't you loose muscle because of low protein while cutting ?
first off, I'm NOT going into a calorie deficit,, I'm going into ketosis,, turning my body into a fat burning machine where I use only fat for energy and thus don't need to be in a calorie deficit to burn fat.
second,, I will NOT be catabolic - I won't be in a calorie deficit and being my body is producing ketones and ketones will be in the blood stream available 24/7,, my muscles and body will ALWAYS use those for energy and NEVER use its own 'muscle' for energy (unless there is an absence of ketones).. ketones are the brain and bodies preferred energy source and as long as its there it will use it,, so no catabolism
third,, low protein because the body has the ability, with high doses of protein, to convert the extra amino acids into glucose.. I do not want that,, I want to stay in ketosis and use only ketones for energy,, which means I'm ONLY ever using fat for fuel.
fourth,, I think the masteron, primoboaln, proviron, and test will help me stay quite anabolic
there is more to all this,, but this post is long enough.. I'll be consuming a high FAT diet for awhile and keep this thread updated.
blood work will come at some point to check cholesterol, but from all the things I've read,, this type of diet will better my cholesterol, not worsen it. fat does not make you fat nor worsen your cholesterol , but fat with carbs can.. carbs, glucose,, thats the ingredient that gives fat a bad rap
