Currently using HGH w/cardio and lifting 6 days a week...

[ParaMedicMan]

Been on HGH now for 3 weeks to get it into my system. Using 4iu's ED both in the AM and at Noon. Obviously I won't see much for another few months and that's fine, I have time. I use to use ECA, then Lipoflame, and other thermos but nothing seems to work for me anymore. I don't get any effect or stim from them whatsoever. I've followed their instructions to a T and cycled like I was told, think my body just built up a resistance to it. So I'm questioning running Test or Anvar (if I spelled it correctly). I've also tried T3/Clen and forget it, terrible headaches. I need something to start burning me up to get me through this plateau i'm on.

My goal is not to get huge, it's to tone and for BF loss only. My diet is very clean, Keto clean actually. I've lost a ton of weight already, down from 330 only 6 months ago but I've seemed to stall a bit. Don't get my wrong I'm not a "small" guy and my build is stocky, but I know I can shink my BF considerably and get it into the teens.

Stats:

30 y/o Male
248lbs
5'9"
BF (guessing it's 28-30) but that's just a guess.

Suggestions?

What is your diet like? Thats probably what we need to look at here.

I did mention it, but it's basically the CKD diet. Hardly any carbs at all, zero sugar, tons of meat and veggies. Usually eating five times a day, taking soluble fiber, etc.

How many calories? That's where stalls are usually fixed...somewhere in the diet.

Good question and I've been trying to add them up, but if I'd have to make an educated guess I'd say somewhere in the neighborhood of 1300 on the low end up towards 1700 on the high end. Meal breakdown is something like this

Oatmeal around 6am
Spinach (filler) with protein shake around 9am
Chicken with Broccoli around 12pm
Protein Shake w/apple around 3pm
Grilled chicken salad (greens) around 5pm (last meal of the day)

Based on your stats, your calories look really low to me. With keto, do you do any type of carb up day or meal? a refeed? have you taken a week off an eaten at maintenance since you started? Those are all things I'd consider, in addition to at least getting in the 1700.

Honestly I haven't. I'm super scared that I'll just pack the calories away and lose all the ground I've made up. Adding carbs scares the hell out of me. I know it might sound so stupid but it truly is a fear of mine. What would you suggest for a sunday carb-up day?
