Second stage diet, IF+primal

[Sarumyan]

Here is the pic update. Have been 271.9 after jogging, but after 5 jugs of tea - its solid 275.





slightly flexed. Just in case - reach is between 78-79"

Day 35 - 272.2
Looks like all that jogging has payed off.
Training - today - basketball 1.40 hours. Nothing develops speed like basketball imo.

Diet - 5 pm - 9 pm around 2000 calories.

I am 270.2 at night, but that drop in weight is too suspicious. I think I am at solid 273 right now.

On the side note - i have been going out a lot, met lots of people. In some ways - "I am working on it " .

Some people are telling me I am "there" diet-wise and it doesn't matter. But i remember the female attention when i was ripped, and damn i see the difference. But still I also see the difference from 310 pounds, so all good. As u said - need to clean up the diet, even 5 solid pounds boosts the confidence and etc.

Thanks again.

I got some pics from previous weight cuts and the attention from females is insane. I just get out of control but, it never lasts man. Its that ying and yang or push and something we have to accept in life. No problem buddy. Stick with it. You look like a buddy of mine who body builds. He is powerfully strong and wants to compete but, he has the body type of a power lifter. He has tried the ephedrine and caffeine stack. He has tried a variety of supplements to get that aesthetic look and he feels he has come up short. Genetics play a huge picture in all this but, the sad thing is that, we are in control of our fate. We need to take control of our lives, our decisions, and especially our eating habits.

I don't believe in cheat meals (kind of hypocritical after my sushi bday meal). I mean that, in essence, a cheat meal is cheating myself out of success, and the goals i have for myself. I wont do it.

Congrats buddy. Good stuff man. Just avoid the break up foods. Its winter time and its usually the excuse for people to put on extra weight and its not necessary. Were both doing ourselves justice by sticking this out to the bitter end. Come March, we will both be in amazing shape.

I think we need to stop talking about females )). You know the sex drive is quite high during weight cuts. I can't stop thinking about it. But its hard to get out since I am so busy.

So for now - I will focus on weight, and slowly work "on it".

No offense but bodybuilding is just a perversion of sports IMO lol. But Yoga... I am interdasted ).

Feel much better now. I was sure I will go down for at least a week, but seems like some rest will do the trick.

Day 36 - Woke up at 271.3
Diet - 9am-9pm Spicy noodle soup - 500 cals, frozen fruits 480, salad - 300, hot milk ( cold remedy ) - 300 cals.
Training - push ups, pull ups, epi - 15 minutes, walking on stairs - i live on 31 floor.
Finally mastered my courage and gave all russian candy I bought 2 weeks ago to my neighbors. That was the primary reason for 2 week delay in weightloss.

Note : need to get back to IF. I feel it is extremely viable in long term and will actually make it possible for me not to get fat again.

270 is like a magical number for me. It kind of separates "ok" shape from overweight for me.
Right now I hovering around 271-273.

No offense taken. I do know the feeling. My sex drive is never fully clenched.

How are you feeling?

Day 37:268.8
Feeling good.
I can see the difference in fat loss already, I am at the same level I reached 2 weeks ago.
Training - heavy lifting with Rowing Boat team - 2 hours. Some good old sauna later.
Diet - salad -300, frozen fruits - 480 calories for 1.2 kg of delicious treat, not bad. I doubt there are much vitamins left. But hey, fiber isn't bad either.
I am considering becoming a vegetarian after xmas, hmm

Note : It is strange that I lost 6 pounds so fast, but I did train quite hard, despite the diet.
I definitely recommend eating frozen fruits, they have little calories but make you feel fuller for long time, and are bloody delicious.

Note : 270 is my magic number , really separates normal from fat for me- once I pass i feel the confidence coming back.

Good stuff. I tried ketosis before which made me fatigue. I like this diet. When I do low carb, high protein, I think I'll be lethargic. I am supplementing but at a minimal level. How much water are you drinking?

I love frozen fruit but actual real frozen fruit preferably from the farmers market. I have a mini fridge I freeze fruit in and store water in. I am buying a juicer over the holidays. I am also looking to limit smoothies and yogurt as I ease into cutting carbs, increasing carbs and increasing protein. I picked up a 5kg tub of natural or flavorless whey protein. It tastes horrible but, I chase it quickly. I am drinking 3.5L of water a day. Up it to 4L once I increase cardio to 30-45min. Your weight loss is likely from your vigorous routine. Be careful not to over train.
