Some thoughts:

I'm feeling a whole lot better in every regard with my current diet plan. As it stands right now, I'm doing two half-cheat-half-refeed-days a week, on the day of, or a day prior to my squatting and deadlifting days. In terms of results, I'm actually losing weight faster now than before, and visually I'm looking increasingly lean without losing any quality mass. If I'd guess, I'd say I've put on at least two kilograms of solid mass in the last year, as I'm sitting at a similar bodyfat percentage at a significantly higher weight than compared to 2013. This feels great, and it's something I definitely should have done all along once the worst part of the cut was over. I think it's also a way for me to maintain a healthy lifestyle and a healthy relationship to food, as it allows for both discipline and mental toughness, without entirely taking over my routine as a central pillar around which my dining habits are formed, as well as putting a lid on my negative tendency to overeat on carbs if left entirely to my own, resulting in fatigue, loss of motivation and anemia.

Man, food addiction is a bitch. Been dogging me since 11 y.o hah.

Still, you have defeated it before, and got ripped as fck. Pretty sure you will be fine.

Why are you following low-carb, if I may? Maybe it is contributing to your eating problems.

Thanks brah.

Yeah, doing low-carb for the bulk (< pun) of my cut. Mentally speaking it's hard to beat, since I generally react poorly to prolonged exposure to fast-acting carbs. But still, this cut (more like a body recomp at this point) I've found the value of carbcycling and its role in avoiding burnout, boosting performance and avoiding the muscular "flatness" that comes with long periods of low-carb. As long as the weekly balance comes in at a deficit, it's sustainable.

As I've mentioned before though - my days below 205 are gone. No fucking way I'm reaching that unless I'm taking up MMA again and have to make weight.

Had no idea the eggs of the size I bought were so nutritiously dense. 50% more nutrients than advertised medium sized eggs. Brutal.

The best music video in history to break the admittedly dry updates as of late:


I quite vividly recall Huey of FLC saying something in the likes of: "The music video for 'Loco' cost us 5000 dollars to make. For that, you got a Yacht full of hot chicks. These days music videos cost two million dollars and what you get is Janet Jackson dancing in front of a green screen. For two million dollars we'd make the best music video ever."

Dont worry lads - you already did.

Protonz a bit low, but I've totally earned a guilt-free day for psychological morale boosting. The ice cream was fucking incredible, courtesy of Lidl. Speaking of which, it is by far the undisputed king of grocery stores, and shits on the native swedish competitors - their luxury selection is in the same price range as the ordinary line-up of the swedish stores, but has superior quality.

Physically speaking, I have a maddening spot of water retention on my lower abs that fucking refuses to disappear unless I go super fascist low-carb followed by a nutty water-consumption. That regardless, I hit a new low-spot today. It's just frustrating that my tendency to retain water is essentially camouflaging my true bodyfat percentage - bloat vs dry is a perceived difference of at least four bodyfat percentage units. It's fucking ridiculous.
