Thanks guys...
I don't take ECA stacks anymore...
I've taken them 2 years prior to this year both times when I was cutting.... I get great results from them.. but I'm a little concerned about them causing me health issues... A guy at my gyms heart stopped when taking them a few months ago(luckily he lived)
Thanks

OK..
I havn't updated this in a while... and I've decided that I'm not going to list what I'm eating any more since its pretty consistant..
I will however list my routine...
Anyways.. heres some pictures...
The first picture is actually one that is about 2 years old... I was pretty damn lean.. I weighed 169 lbs in this picture... This picture is more here just so you can see the differences..
169 lbs... pretty lean (when I was 19)
Sitting at a HEAVY 200 lbs... Near the beginning of Oct

if you want to maximize fat loss.. add EC.. it is harder on system, but short term use should be of little concern unless you have a problem already.

Cobin,
To tell you the truth... Every time I've successfully cut up until now (3-4 times) I've never really over analyzed my caloric intake.
I know I definitely have a defecit, but I'm not really into the no-carb diets... I like carbs, and I can still cut while eating them.. I just don't eat an excessive ammount. I try to keep my breads whole wheat, and if i eat pasta, I don't eat more than half a cup-3/4 of a cup.
I try to keep my daily diet the same, and then eat a little more freely on the weekends... If you do fad diets or things that are too hard core, I find there is way too much of a rebound effect when you stop.... Basically I try to lose the weight slowly, and have a smaller caloric defecit than the average joe..
I probably eat around .8 G protein per lb, eat a moderate ammount of fat.. maybe 40g a day... and my biggest tips for losing weight are
a. NEVER OVEREAT... always try to almost underestimate how much food you need... once you get used to eating a little less, you have more energy, and eating frequently is more fun anyways
b. DON'T DRINK POP.... I'm a pop and slurpee junkee... I just fuckin love them to death.. when I was bulkin i was having at least a slurpee a day and probably at least 1 pop... definitely not good for you,.... but the second you cut those out you have a TON of extra calories laying around to play with....
Anyways.. I will snap some more pictures at the end of the next week to show you guys some more progress....
Thanks

I may try some of your dieting tips, I've followed a really hardcore diet for 2-3 months and got 8-9 percent bf, had all 6 abs showing and then one day I just started eating alot of bad stuff. I still haven't recovered but I do it in more moderation now. I have a hard time following 3 days on a strict diet with no carbs and alot of calories. Upto 11-12% I think but I don't mind it much anymore as I have said many times I am getting ready to bulk.
Thanks for the dieting tips, How religious are you to cardio? Thats another thing I was able to everyday that I have a hard time finding motivation for.
Look forward to seeing your update pictures.
