Illness hit me hard the last couple weeks, and really took a toll on my cycle. Appetite and energy have both been down, and when I first got sick with the flu I couldn't eat anything or keep anything down and lost 6 lbs in two days.
Since then I've rebounded somewhat, gaining half of the weight I lost back. Right now I'm sitting at 183.5 (+11)
Next week I'm going to switch to more of a recomp with high carb/ low carb days at +20% over maintenance on workout days with-20% on cardio/rest days to try and clean up and drop bodyfat over the next few weeks. Hopefully I can get pretty lean again while keeping the weight at or close to 180. I will keep you all posted

I feel for you Rick! I have an I diagnosed stomach problem that think is an ulcer. Anyway, I lost 15 pounds in 6 days once and it sucked. Hope you feel better bro!

You guys ever supplement with glutamine? I agree it doesn't have much muscle building properties If diet is adequate but it's great for intestinal health and gut health
I will use it on occasion, but I also agree that it is very overrated in terms of how much we need in terms of external supplementation. Generally speaking, your food should cover you if your macros are where they should be
Hey guys,
Loving all the info on the thread. From September-December, I went from 80kg to around 72kg with IF. I lost a mixture of fat loss and muscle loss. I've lost too much muscle I felt, so I'm going to start eating more but I still have stubborn fat around my obliques.
I was thinking 20%+ on workout days and 20%- on rest/cardio days as advised on here, but I'm worried this will put on too much fat (as well as muscle) when I'm really trying to build my muscle back and get rid of this stubborn fat.
Any help would be great!!
