My 'step3' routine and results.

I am actually considering not carb-ing up at all for the whole four weeks, what are your opinions on that?

in my opinion, that would be a bad idea.

your lifting weights. the purpose of the carb up is to help provide you with enough energy so that you can push your muscles enough to avoid losing muscle.

you can try it, but i'm pretty confident your workouts will start turning into shit quickly. ie - you won't have enough energy to complete them or you won't be able to lift anywhere near the same amount of weight as you would normally.

I hear what you are saying and I found it really hard last night (Saturday night), I was really craving some bread or even chocolates but i managed to just have some egg's and cheese instead.

6-L-rex

change brands of olive oil
ones from different countries taste different
make sure it is COLD pressed extra virgin
i like spanish or morroccan for best flavour

Tuna has mercury, you might consider limiting your tuna intake (just my O).

canned tuna comes from smaller types and contain far less mercury
if consuming fresh tuna limit to 3 times a week and make sure to cut the blood line (very dark area) out

JANUARY 1st (Day 3)

meal1: 4eggs (3 just the whites and one whole)(300cal)
meal2: Tuna, with olive oil (75g)(150cal)
meal3: 1 Chicken Breast w/veg and olive oil (?g)(?cal)
meal4: 1 Fillet Steak w/veg and olive oil (?g)(?cal)
meal5: 4eggs (3 just the whites and one whole)(300cal)


cardio: played a hard game of squash from 16:40 - 17:40 (burnt anywhere from 400-800cal)

weights: shoulders & traps for 1hr

is this looking better to any of you guys out there, also, i'm not sure whether to add a protein shake as meal 6 after i have done weights at about 10:00pm, any thoughts?

keep the yolks
you need saturated fat for T production
and there are many studies that now state that dietary colesteral has no corolation to your body colesteral level
your body needs colesteral for proper brain function (hmmmm i do see your need for that lol)

ok, i added some olive oil to my tuna earlier and i must say it tasted like crap, so you can't get into ketosis by just eating meat?

two questions here

one you needn't use strictly olive oil
walnut oil, peanut oil, toasted peanut oil, sesame oil, toasted sesame oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, hazelnut oil, virgin coconut oil, flaxseed oil, borage oil, pumpkin seed oil and fish oils are all good and provide essential fatty acids
and need not just be added to food and can be taken in cap form


i suggest at least 3 caps of salmon oil a day
and another 3 grams a day from another source
plus dietary fat


second
no! just eating protien will no induce ketosis
only high fat levels, non insulin-spiking dieting or 45+ minutes of high energy cardio will induce ketosis

you need to spend some time reading mr X's notes on ketosis and dieting
or swolecat's
advice from those two and several others (bfa, bbf, ohasi, etc....) are invaluable
