Cutting isnt working...

[gmanlax7]

i agree , never make a conscious effort to cut when young

but it still stands, i dont know how to bulk. like what would a daily meal plan look like? how many cals would i need to eat? would i need more carbs? more protein?

Wait...this looks familiar.

WHERE'S THE FOOD?

If I were your body, I'd be holding onto the fat for dear life too!

Whoa... I think I just got hit by a bolt of lightning!

C-ditty

Lee, I use the carb cycling tactic for cutting to bulk too. Helps me put on size while keeping fat in check. You have to be willing to put on some fat, but you don't have to go overboard with it either. I'll post a link to my bulking diet later, unless someone beats me to it.

Lee: I have been following a "diet" plan that Hansel posted up in the Diet board for 2wks now. It is a very moderate approach (which I like), and it has been working WONDERS so far. I have definitely dropped bodyfat, yet Im still getting stronger every week. I wouldnt necessarily call it a cutting diet, but it is a healthy approach that has resulted in me getting quite a bit leaner while still maintaining the muscle mass I busted my ass to get. I just time my carbs as best as I can, make sure Im getting in enough protein and fats, and train hard in the gym. So far everything seems to be falling in place rather nicely. You may want to check it out. Hansel suggest doing cardio in combination with this diet, but I have stayed away from cardio and Im still seeing good results. Granted, any change from the way I used to eat would probably result in me leaning up, but it is a nice set up Hansel has and I have been feeling much better all around. Good luck.

I am doing what Christian Thibaudeau did to lose fat, following what he did as closely as possible, only been doing it for 5 days now so haven't checked progress and probably wont till 4 weeks in.

Whatever your aims are don't give up, never give up, when you get disheatened give yourself a kick in the ass and carry on. Of course if something doesn't work for you then you'd best change something, people here always give kosher advice I read as much as possible.

look man if you're gonna keep cutting, i would A) ditch the milk and B) eat more meats and veggies. Also look into incorporating a refeed day atleast once a week, head over to http://avantlabs.com and read up on leptin. Refeeds are golden imo and fun too. DO NOT starve yourself, you'll
lose more muscle while not greatly affecting the Body Fat%

whatever you do, if you get injured and can't lift (hopefully never happens) DON'T keep eating like you're bulking. i know, it's pretty much common sense but i was making great gains (muscle), did this, and then made great gains in fat %
