So I'm thinking about starting a CKD, i need some meal ideas.

[OneBreath]

ok, so the workout is ok? i guess if your depleted, your depleted, doesnt matter how many times you went around i dont like to puke. scott is always yakkin in the gym. hes hard core.

Workout looks good. No need to yak. Ironwings has yaked a few times here recently. She's more hardcore than me.

 

[mattie o]

go ironwings!

Looks like you are doing great. Sometimes the mirror lies. Our mind allows it to! I've been cut to shreds and will catch a glimpse of myself and think "oh my goodness".

Throwing up is not the way to go. It actually isn't a sign of how hardcore your workout is - it is more about your blood sugar levels, dehydration and lack of minerals in your body. I've done a lot of research on this since it happens to me sparingly, but frequently enough to be concerned. Southern Lord coached me on it a bit and I think I have my culprit down to dehydration. Just keep an eye on it.

****I am preparing to go back on CKD beginning Sunday! I'll be completing another 4 weeks just like I did before. Typically two weeks in I'm shredded and then I stall. I'll be reducing my refeed time frame to Saturday from 12 - 8.

Since being off I have lost additional weight but look completely different. I've gained fat obviously while loosing a bit of muscle - to be expected. I still feel I am two weeks out from being shredded. I just need to be much more aware of water retention and catch it as soon as possible this time.

I won't have time this go round to post meals or workouts - although I'll try to list some in my journal. I'll need everyone's support! I HATE to diet. My soul tells me it is unhealthy and terrible both mentally and physically. Oh the things we'll do.

August 8th is the cutoff. Onebreath and I are exchanging vows on the 10th ;-) and I can't have him showing me up. He is ripped.

congrats, you two! how exciting..scott and i are newlyweds too we got married february 15th this year. vegas baby!

ive been really trying to zero in on the water retention too, so as to reduce the water buffalo thing as much as possible. i realized this week that its easy for me to overdo it on the salt, and the smaller i get, the less sodium i can tolerate.

i think ive finally gotten the hang of this, or at least ive found out what works for me. my mom started calling me ally mcbeal, she thinks im too skinny. ha!

life is good. depletion workout at 5, its a hot day again so hopefully i wont run into what i did last week. ugh. im going to tell scott what you found out about the yakking, id be willing to bet that its because he isnt drinking enough agua. little shit.

congrats to u and onebreath.

about the ckd ive been doing.
i have been so lazy on the diet.

if i would have followed everything i would proberbly be 3-4 kg lighter than i am now.
the reefeed have always gone overboard whit fats, i just cant stay away from nuts.
macademian,cashews and stuff like that, and chips.
so dont feel that your diet has gone bad.

from today ill do the diet strict as hell, taking no reefeed days anymore for well, atleast 2 weeks, 1 and a half.

ill go down to 10 bf...i just cant stand it so that is as good as it gets for me this cut, if i even should call it a cut, going down to just 10 bf.

im soo looking forword to eat like a normal person later on.
ill jump on my first cycle too so im so psyched.

im thinking about, cause im so feedup on counting calories and macros, to just, after 2 weeks, to just jump over to a normal diet 30p,30f and 40 carbs, still be in the 2100-2200 calorie range.

the first days or week i know ill get watery and maybe put on a little fat but ill just keep up whit my cardio and training and after a while maybe have get rid of the water and fat.

i shouldnt put on too much fat, do u think?

water i know will get me 2-3 kg heavier.

what do u guys think?

again, congrats Onebreath and Ironwigs.

Hey there. I'm new to this thread, but I've been lurking for about a week getting caught up reading the whole thread.

Where are you guys getting the macro information to break down by meals? Is there a program I can get for this? Thanks.

I'm gonna start a cutting phase here in a couple of months. Just gathering some info now. Don't know yet if I'm going to do a CKD because I'm not getting married, or don't have some other event to get ready for. Don't want to do something extreme, then have a rebound.

 

[mattie o]

ill be honest, i could be stricter too. this last carb up was ok, but could have been a whole hell of a lot better. a: the fat could have been just a bit lower and b: it lasted 48 hours and c: we had mai tais.

so this next weekend, im really gonna have to pull my head out of my ass, as were going to be out of town on a little romantic getaway...easy to drink wine, and fatty pastas, fries, etc. so im really gonna have to watch my p's and q's. were doing our depletion work out at noon on friday, which means ill have to stop at noon on saturday, and i find it really hard to stop mid day. o well. i can do it. i really am seeing progress, so i dont know how detrimental my lame carb ups really are. but i dont like the slightly guilty, extra bloated feeling i get after a less than stellar carb up. boo.

 

[ironwings]

Just an update....on day 5 of CKD and down 3lbs and a trace of ketosis. I'm am really struggling to get enough water down...this could make me or break me.

My diet is consisting of lean ground beef, chicken, turkey bacon, sausage, cheese, ceasar salads and lots of vegetables cooked in olive oil. I'm keeping it pretty simple this time and I haven't been counting macros. I'll use the scale as my judge.

My refeeds will be a tighter window on Saturday from 12 - 8 and consist of 3 huge meals to get in as many high GI carbs that I can with very little fat.

Fun, fun.

i was planing to just do an 360 turn and change my diet to a 30p 30f and 40 carbs, but yesterday i had an accident, some sort.
ive been helping my mom tearing down a house and 2 days ago a wall (small wall) fell down on my left quad.
i was sore for about an hour then started to work again.

yesterday i started to carry all the shit and big things up and down a hill to the container, and after and hour when i got home the left quad just started to swollen more and more and after a while i couldnt even walk whitout hurting so...and swolle like half the size of, like the greatest pump ever!

went to the emergency and they told me i had gotten some kind of syndrom.
that the mucsle was overworked and they maybe would be forced to cut it up and drain it or something, that it was to big,swollen to fit in my fascista or what they said.
.

shit i almost pissed myself!

luckully i got some painkiller and walking sticks or i dont know the english word, and if it dont get better in 2-3 days ill have to cut it up
so no training for me. cant walk anywhere, and im forced to stick whit this diet cause i fell its the best one for loosing weight whitout doing any cardio or weights=(

im so pissed.

maybe wont be able to train legs as hard as im used to in the future eaither. this sucks.

i need some uflifting words.

That sucks big time. Definitely DO NOT dwell on it until they give you the decision in a couple of days. There's no use wasting your body's recovery energy with negative feelings on an unknown. Keep your head up and hope for the best. Whatever happens, just accept it and train the best that you can afterwards. There are much worse things that could happen like a torn pec. Now that will keep you from doing almost anything. Even getting under the bar to squat requires you to stretch your pecs.

Worse case scenario, you will still be able to fully train your entire upper body. You will have to go lighter on legs yes, but it's not a death sentence like a pec tear.

Keep your head up!
