Well guys let me know your thoughts on this cutting diet.

My buddy claims you can lose about 10-15lbs in about 2 weeks if you run it right, so probably about 5lbs of water and then whatever else you manage to lose. It appears to be high enough in protein to maintain LBM and lost primarily fat, but I am unsure if you are able to achieve Ketosis very well on this diet.

He reccomends taking Nitroxide on it, or an ECA ,and I think Ill run it taking an ECA and rotating possibly Clen at night.

Lose the fruit post workout and replace with glucose or dextrose/maltodextrin

Fruit sugars, fructose, will not spike the insulin as desired post workout

There's no way I'd hit ketosis on that diet....too much protein/carbs and not nearly enough fat.

The food choices themselves aren't necessarily bad as far as "bodybuilding" is concerned - but you really can't base a cutting plan around a generic diet recommended by someone else. You need to tailor calorie intake to your own body weight, genetics and level of activity.

like mentioned, definitely NOT a keto diet

it seems to drop the weight the first week or so, but mostly water weight

this looks like you're trying to do a TDawg 2 diet

You know that you cant eat more then 30grams of carbs a day on a CKD right?

 

[slugfast6868]

yeah it seemed to me that it was a modified CKD as it allowed about 25 carbs for Breakfast for the oatmeal, and about 15carbs for the Sweet Potato and around 6carbs per protein shake, so it nets around 60-70carbs for most of the days. It looks like a carb depletion diet to me, and I was just curious since this was sanctioned by a collegiate coach

 

[Deleted member 33117]

Right, definately not a CKD nor a TKD. Why so much fructose post-workout? This is probably the worse carb to use for replenishing muscle glycogen, but it will still replenish enough liver glycogen to make going back into ketosis difficult.

 

[slugfast6868]

yeah I wondered that too, but Ill give it a try for a bit... Im thinking the Fruit POst workout is just to take up Calories to make sure you are not only eating protein, as the diet seems pretty low fat as well
