Carb depletion

[florencia]

Hi girls!
I have enjoyed and learned so much from your posts. I am about to order Yohimburn and Thermorexin. Thanks to Bunny for the tip on Ulter...
By the way He was great also.
So I am planning to deplete carbs and I am not sure on how to do it.
I have the idea that eating egg whites, tuna and chicken will do, for protein intake, I am not sure how many calories a day, I was guessing 1200 would be fine. I am 121 lbs. and 5'5 19% BF estimate.. How many days do you recomend?
And how have you felt when you have done it? Thanks in advance for sharing.

Also, to make out a complete deplete/load schedule... your current diet and how long you have been on it has to be considered. Please give more info

First of all -- great products you're ordering. Definitely the an awesome investment. Good for you!

Second -- I may be wrong on this, but it seems like you are simply looking to be your physical best shape, but not looking to compete anytime soon like some of the BB ladies around here.

Have you tried to log your food into fitday.com? I'm sure we'd all be curious to see what your macronutrient percentages are. Ideally, most of us aim to eat 40/30/30 every day (40% protein, 30% carbs, 30% fats)

When goals change (e.g. competitions or if you change your supplementation to the point where there is an ideal diet to maximize their effects), then you may want to change your ratios then.

What you'll find is that by eating 40/30/30, you are still 'cutting back' on carbohydrates, but you are more conscious about consuming the right amount of protein without overdoing it. Carbs should be those that are low on the glycemic index (but your diet shows that you are making wiser choices thus far).

1200 calories seems really low to me for your body type especially if you are training for a triathalon! Girl, you need to FUEL that hawt bod of yours!

*Bunny*, I think, consumes around 1800 calories a day to accomodate her active lifestyle. I am cutting right now (I am 40 lbs overweight though), but with all my activity, I'm STILL consuming 1600 cals a day -- so to me, all signs point to "EAT MORE"... but wait and see what the others here say.

Can you please tell us your activity level day to day? Exercise? Are you on your feet at work? We still need more info.

Welcome!

Hi T Cake....
I was not specific I am just tagging along....

I'm going to say you're above 1200 calories. that meal that consists of 4 egg whites, 1/2C oatmeal and 1 tbsp flaxseed oil for example is more than 244 cals.

And she's 121lbs so you can't compare her calorie intake with Bunny's because Bunny is bigger than her and needs to eat more.

Also I don't think she's doing the triathalon, I think if I read it correctly that it's her boyfriend that's doing it, she wants to look good for vanity purposes, lol

Hi Miss24K;
You are an eye opener, I actualy thought I was right on target with the calories...
What do you think is wrong? Trainer gave me those calories and I beleived it! Darn! The only thing that is different is that I have 1 tbsp ground flax seed, and the oatmeal is plain "3 minute oats" I eat it raw with water and sweet & low.
Any suggestions?

As I told you earlier you really don't need to carb deplete. Just cut them before lunch and after dinner.

I agree with T-Cake you should learn to use Fitday.com so you can see what your real calories are each day.

She's only at 1257, so close enough. And that meal is only 266 so it's not that far off either.


It's a fairly good diet for someone not training for a tri. If you were then you'd be training in a Bunny-like fashion and need more calories. But for what you're doing it's good.
