Mini - Off season Diet

Neil R

Okay, so I woke up this morning with the most bizarre notion that I would like to shed some bodyfat. So i've decided to do a 2 day mini 'get shredded to fcuk' diet. This involved doing 15mins of ab work (WTF???) knocking back a couple of ephedrine & caffeine tabs with some acetyl-carnitine and going hill walking for 70 mins before breakfast. Still motivated to lose body fat I decided that my diet would be very low carb, which would basically entail my only carb intake being 1 slice ryvita per meal for the next two days. This will provide 42-48g low GI carbs per day. the rest will be protein from various sources, this will be decided on a meal by meal basis, so far I've had 300ml pasturised Egg white with 30g whey & 10g USN pure protein, with 1 slice ryvita. As i'm not pre-contest i'll use protein bars & shakes as and when, as long as they're low carb (ish).
Supplement wise, as i'm currently 'off-cycle' will be
SAN Endotest 2x a day
Ephedrine & Caffeine 3x a day
100mcg T4 a day
50mcg T3 a day
30mg Nolvadex a day
1700mg Glucophage a day
Eve Primrose & Cod liver oil with each meal.
Aceytl-carnitine @ 3-5g a day.

A 2 day diet? This could be interesting...

Ragdoll

why only 2 days, have you got a date on Monday??

Neil R

Fats will be the Eve primrose & Cod liver oil and the naturally occuring fats within the protein sources.

At 1g CLO & 500mg EPO per meal will give 12g Essential fats per day, but tommorrow I will more than likely add some fresh salmon into the mix to bump that up a bit more.

Neil R

No before & after shots mate, as 2 days difference isn't likely to be too evident 'on camera'.

Neil R

Thats what I thought; so thats why I'm doing it!

Neil R

Haa ha!! I should be so lucky!!
No, the theory behind the 2 day diet is down to the fact that over the last 6 months or so I've been 'off-season' and gained roughly 34 lbs bodywgt. In order to achieve this kind of weight gain I've been consistently consuming 5000-6000 calories per day, every day, which has, naturally, included some bodyfat gains. Throwing this diet into the mix will to do a couple of things.
1:- Shed some of the excess water weight ( which is already happening, and will do so with a vengeance overnight tonight, experience tells)
2:- Halt the 'fat gain' process that is inplace within the metabolic process' of offseason dieting.

More than anything the majority of the improvements will be down to lost water. Yes a small amount of fat will come too but I would be surprised if more than 1lb of the loss wass from actual bodyfat, inspite of the relative harshness of the diet itself [50-60g carbs a day for a guy weighing 265-270lbs is damned-low!!]

However, if by monday I am still 'going good' I may increase the carbs slightly and continue it for the rest of the week to see what happens.

this really is taking "instinctive" bodybuilding to its literal end. I'm just listening to what my body is telling me to do!!
