eat a ton of carbs and do a ton of cardio=ripped

[zero%bodyfat]

well eat 90 percent of your food in the morning before workout.

that quick fix diet looking back at it should really only be done for less than a week, because your body will catch on quick. i personally hate the way that diet makes me feel.


but remember im not doing easy cardio. each set of 10 minites on the stairclimber was extremly tuff. i would be fairly soaked after just 2 sets of it, it is very hard. you have to work your way up.

cardio is the ultimate weapon. because the other days i striaght up pigged on on shit all day long for about 3 days straight, i didnt follow my eating guide lines because i ate alot of shit at night like ben and jerrys icecream which has like 80 grams of fat in one thing of it lol. i still did the cardio on these days, and i did gain fat. but on like day 4 i ate like i was supposed to (90 percent of food in the morning before workout) i had lost all that weight gained in one day. ive gotten my self so well conditioned ive been able to increase the intensity on the stairclimber of my cardio and make fat burning that much easier

unsaturated eh? Except for the ice cream you mean... right? No one is flaming you man, some people have good genetics for staying trim. I'm a bit lower bf than you and I have to watch my diet 365 days a year to keep it that way (fat kid) but man is it worth it... so find your battle and fight it. You could try to decrease carb intake and compare the rate of change in LBM/BF%...just my .02

Whats your bf and weight? How many carbs do you normally take in?

10 sets of 10 minutes...wow. How much of a break do you take between sets?

Hey i think what youre saying is really true about high carbs/high cardio! I was at my lowest weight (5'7" and 135 lbs) and i was also hella-lean (for me) at 15% when all i ate was cereal (rice chex with sugar on top) and saltine crackers. no lie. cereal for breakfast lunch dinner snacks and i'd eat a whole sleeve of crackers whenever i was bored. i was also at the time doing 1.5 hours of cardio every day never fail. so i would have to conclude that your theory is true (at least for me and you it is) LOL

What kinda cardio do you guys do for 1-2 hours? I've been walking on the treadmill at the highest incline(level 15) and at 3.3mph for 45minutes, but i might bump it up now.

Zero%: great pics, my buddy has been busting his ass to get that mid-section you have. He has the little area of fat right around the waist line, i'll refer him to this thread. Thanx for the info!!!

5'9 180 6% h.static
I'm currently taking in a little under 2700 cals/day
with 20-30% of that as carbs and only in the complex form. No white flour products, I will avoid them at all costs. On my cardio days I take in more carbs so that my evening workouts aren't harmed by the lower glycogen levels. I also make sure I never dip into ketosis. I'm right on the borderline after long workouts though.

So you never do carb refeeds or anything?

You don't have high GI carbs like grape juice postworkout either?

Could you post a sample day of your meals?

Could you post a sample day of your meals?

He pretty much did when he answered me. Alot of cookies and PB early in the day, and chicken breasts later in the evening.

if i could stick to a calorie range like that and avoid white flour products and the like, I would. I just enjoy eating food too much and hate countin calories. kudos to you for being so disciplined to sticking to a healthy diet bro

this morning i had 4 big ass brownies(plenty of sugar and bad fats). 3 large bowls of breyers sugar free icecream(cause it tastes good). i smotherd each bowl of icecream with peanutbutter aswell. had about 6 slices of this omega3 bread with sugar free syrup. 2 slices of stuffed crust pizza.1 glass of skim milk and a few chocolate chip cookies all before workout

for the rest of the day i had some sunflowers seeds shell and all less than a half cup shell and all and some steamed cabbage.


eating such yummy ass foods in the morning doesnt make me feel like craving them in the afternoon. it took a while for me to be able not to eat anything after my workouts.
