Shedding off the wieght.

[Tom Treutlein]

What I heard from Casual is that there's no need to allocate the protein throughout the day. As long as you get it down by the days end you're okay. I mean, don't go six hours without anything, but details are minor. Worry about getting all that food down in general.

ANBP Diet worked for me.

17lbs in 8 weeks, I shit you not.

Mr. X's ANBP Diet is the best cutting diet ever. Look for the sticky thread at the top of this forum. All you need is whey, anbp, fish or flax oil, and a multivitamin w/calcium. Mix in some willpower and a healthy amount of cardio and maintenance lifting and you're good.

I'll have a look at it right now .

A lot of people ended up with some problems from that, from what I understand. A CKD would be much better.

Hmmm.. How do people feel about the ANPB diet? I mean... I'm pretty sure I can endure it, but does it work well?

I've been reading of a lot of people having success with CKD on this site. I'm going to have to read up on it.

Could anyone link me to the CKD? Right now, I'm trying out the peanut butter diet. For each spoonful, should I cut it at the top? Should it be heaping? Also:

"Take 2-3 tabs of Multi vit/min, 500mg Vit C per day, 2 caps Vit E and 1 tab of the vit A/D combo. For the calcium, 500mg per day."

I got the calcium, the Multi Vit, and the Vitamin C and E. Don't got an A or D.. But I mean.. 2-3 Multi-vitamins? :S Isn't that a bit much?

Bah, I still got a lot of questions and such. After running the other day, my legs were.. Well.. "Dead", aching all over, ect. Should I wait for a day or two till they're healed? Also, *this is probably too general of a question* how exactly does muscle growth work? I think knowing that fact would be quite helpful . I'll just lay out all my questions:

-Is there an optimal time for taking protein?

-Is it true that higher reps/less wieght specializes in making your muscles grow in mass, while lower reps/higher wieght specializes in the actual strength instead?

-I read that having a cheat day can actually be a good thing. Yes? No? If yes.. Why :S?

-While maintaining, should I do heavier wieghts lower reps? or lower wieghts higher reps. Should I really push myself? Or go easy.

-How long should I let my muscles rest after wieght training?

-When running, and you *have* to stop for a breather, are you going too fast?

Sorry for the influx of questions X_X.

Don't appologize for asking questions. Information... It's why we're all here. I can answer most of your questions. The other members might be well suited to another the others.

As far as rest goes for your legs, the answer is yes. Rest your legs. If this is the first time you've been really exercising in awhile and your legs are sore, rest them. Rest them for a couple of days until you feel you aren't sore anymore and can go again.

-Is there an optimal time for taking protein?

That all depends. If your trying to gain muscle, then you would always take it after a workout. If someone was trying to cut and lose weight and retain some muscle, you would take protein in all day. How much depends on the person.

-Is it true that higher reps/less wieght specializes in making your muscles grow in mass, while lower reps/higher wieght specializes in the actual strength instead?

This is debatable and has been for a long time so I'm going to leave it alone. I do believe though, that lower reps/higher weight is the go for size and strength.

-I read that having a cheat day can actually be a good thing. Yes? No? If yes.. Why :S?

I think the main reason it's good is to reward yourself mentally for dieting so much. It's breaks up the monotony and we all enjoy it. Cheating one day, unless your a pro, won't hurt if you've kept a good strong diet for a long period of time.

-How long should I let my muscles rest after wieght training?

I believe a week. If you truly work out a part of your body really hard, then i'd wait a week. That is of course if your natural and not on anything. Other might disagree, but I believe you need time for your body to heal and to avoid overtraining.

-When running, and you *have* to stop for a breather, are you going too fast?

This depends again. What kind of running are you doing? Whats your heart range that your going for? Are you doing HIIT? Whats your main goal with this cardio?

Thanks a lot for the replies I've really learned alot.. And I *think* I've got my diet figured out. What do you all think? If you need to know my stats, they're at the top of the page.

The ANPB diet:

Formula from Article:

Maintenance calories *x 12 LBS*: 2352
Diet daily calorie intake *as suggested in the actual article, a 5% deficiency* 2234
Daily protein intake: 139.5g

Now, after a bit of work, I got this. Keep in mind, all this is, is ANPB and WHEY.

Daily calories: 2100
Daily protein intake: 144g

Each meal I have is 2.8 TBSPs of ANPB *13 grams of protein and 275 cals* and one scoop of my WHEY. Each scoop *it's a small little scooper, you're supposed to use 2 per serving* has 11g of protein and 75 cal. So I have one scoop of that each meal. At the end of the day, I pretty much get what I need both caloric wise and protein wise.. Any comments? Look good?

P.S. My goal for cardio is to lose as much fat as possible, as efficiently as possible.

P.S.S. Should I really take 2-3 multi-vitamins a day?
