productive over feeding cycling

[zinkcus]

Any bros who have problems with over eating, this might help. This plan would not be very good for someone who has no problems with over eating. If you are someone who has a history of dieting strict for days followed by a damaging binge, effecting you emotionaly and physically, this might work good for you. You won't feel much guilt if any about the high calorie days since its part of your plan, allowing you to actually enjoy it.

The base of the plan is simple: acknowledge your natural instinct to overeat, and use it to your advantage. Stop fighting over eating, rather make it part of your plan. I think the ckd diet looks kinda like it form far, but its not a Ketogenic diet plan; more of a very high carb up plan to say the least.

This is my productive over feeding cycle plan
I have about a 3,000 calorie daily "maintenance" level.

Sun - Mon: 5000 calories a day (+4,000 over maintenance total)
Tue - Sat: 2,200 calories a day (-4,000 under maintenance total)

Sun & Mon: Upper body workouts
Tue morning: Lower body workout
Wed-Sat: Cardio for 20-30 minutes first thing in the morning.

Weight training on your over feeding days to have some very intense workouts, lower body Tue morning while still extremely carbed up. Wed to Sat your cutting, recuperating from the possible overtraining of sun-tue back to back weight training days.

Tell me what you think.

i just ate 2 large brick oven pizza's..........for no reason other than my diet was nearly perfect for 8 days and i deserved a break

I don't think 2 back-to-back workouts would be a good idea. Then having the rest of the week off? Nah, too infrequent for me.

The workout is up to you, the main idea here is the calorie intake.

I think too many calories at one time will just result in fat gains and not muscle. Well, some muscle, but not a good fat:muscle gain ratio. Maybe I'm wrong, I dunno.

On the 5,000 calorie days, you have 1000 calories 3 hours before your workout; 1000 calories over the following 90 minutes after your workout. That should really do a lot for your workout and recovery. We are not talking about the perfect fat burning/muscle gaining diet here, we are talking about helping out bros who seem to "binge" each week no matter what. A plan that actually allows them to use that instinct of theirs to some benefit and take away a lot of that guilt from overeating.

I'd like to hear someone else's thoughts on this.
