[bigdb]

Ok I started my frist cutting cycle. I got plenty of bulk, Ive competed in powerlifting for 6 years and Im tired of it and want to get cut and lean. Right now Im currently 239 lbs...hella strong but a little flab and I want to lean out. I was taking up to 200mg of clen. for about 2 weeks and im tapering off and will bridge it with an ECA stack. My diet is an follows
protien only shake in morning with fish oils, tauring, 200mg clen
3 hrs
6-10 egg whites and some fruit
2hrs
protien bar and milk and fruit
2hrs
ham and turkey and sandwich on whole wheat bread
2hrs
peanut butter adn jelly sand. (no sugar jelly)
workout.90 min.(bustin my ass on cardio and weights)_
protien shake
2hrs
chicken breast and turkey beacon

after 3 weeks Ive only lost 4 LBS. I was expecting more with clen! this was my first time using it. whats wrong with my diet im still new at this cutting thing...is this weightloss normal? thanx for your input

your diet is terrible. And I'll explain why. #1- ditch the shake first thing in the a.m. Lets be honest here. Your body has just gone through 6-8 hrs rest w/ no food, now your waking up and the first thing your doing is a liquid meal, absolutely terrible. Let's be real, you drink one of those fucking things and all you do is shit/piss and your hungry 20 min later. Only time I drink shakes is after my lift when my body needs quick digesting protien. Substitute w/ eggs and either oats or grits. Your body works best by taking in combinations of food, such as good whole sources of protien and slow burning carbs such as oats/grits. #2- Ditch the milk. Especially your milk/fruit combination in meal #2, thats probably 30 grams of sugar you dont need and little carb benefit. #3- substitute meal 3 w/ a better carb source other than whole wheat bread. I'd eat rice or a potato instead, bread sucks, even wheat. Your next meal is more bread, ditch it and eat something like more meat and another healthy carb source such as oats/rice/potatos/yams Your last meal isnt bad since you want to lower carbs more towards bed time and your last meal is no carbs. Also, WTF are you taking 200mcg of clen for? WAY TOO MUCH!! That shit isnt good for your heart man, and IMO should only be taking for minimal periods of time at no more than 100mcg/day. And no, that weightloss is not normal, you should have been down at least 5-8 lbs within the first 2 wks alone just from fluid loss. Good luck

I mostly agree with him.

Although, I sometimes have a shake in the AM and then do my cardio if I cant handle the empty stomach cardio, then I have a real full meal right after. I dont like milk or any dairy while trying to cut. I dont think the Wheat bread is bad for you at all, its just their are better options. I wouldnt say drop it completely, but I would sub in some potatos and brown rice from time to time. Also, where are your fiberous veggies? Broccoli, green beans, anything?

Tweak some things and youll be ok.

Also what is "busting: your ass with cardio? treadmill, bike, stairs, hiit? how long, how often?

Also, I know it is contested, but I seem to get much better results with steady cardio in the AM. But some days I play basketball and skip the AM cardio. Then again when it comes down to it, just get it in there in some form, and always remember to switch up your routine from time to time.

Thanks for your input, I didn't realize how much sugar is in milk.
The reason why I eat the bread is because its full of fiber, 7 gms. per slice. I heard potatoes have a very high glycemic value so I try to stay away from them. I usually do 60 min of weights and 20 min cardio after 4 days a week. On my 2 non-lift days I will do 30 minuits of cardio, I also played about 4 hours of intense racketball over the weekend. I got shin splins from doing so much!
Ill make my meal adjustments in the morning and stay away from the milk. I kept increasing the dose of clen. because all it did was give me lots of jitters but that it, It went away and I barely felt anything else so I kept increasing it. thanks for your input

definitely lower that clen dosage man. It causes too many heart problems w/ dosages that high. Shit you cant see, but may jump up and bite your ass down the road

As long as someone bothered to start this thread, I'd appreciate some equally constructive feedback on my diet. I'm trying to drop 50 pounds or so within the next 6 months. Here is my current diet:

6am - Caesin protein shake blended with 1/3 cup of oatmeal
8am - 1 cup of yogurt w/banama
10am - 1 cup cottage cheese w/pineapple
noon - 1/2 cup oatmeal
1pm - Whey protein shake
1-2pm - weight lifting session (4 days per week)
2pm - Whey protein shake
2:30pm - 1 can of tuna w/green beans
5:30pm - dinner (usually something like salmon with broccoli or asparagus)
8pm - protein bar
11pm - Caesin protein shake

If making suggestions, please keep in mind that I am a pescetarian (a vegetarian who eats fish). No meat for me! Also, I am taking in approximately 2500 calories and 250-300 grams of protein. On the 3 days that I do not lift, I do some form of cardio, which includes either playing racquetball, volleyball, basketball, or a 20-minute elliptical ride (HIIT style).

Too many protein shakes bro. You need more protein from other sources. Also Try some almonds or some other nut in your diet. They have good fat and protein in them. At 1PM eat some fish with a veggie instead of a shake. I would also lose the protein bar at 8pm. You need better protein sources then the shakes and bars. Best of luck bro!

I suggest you both get Burn the Fat feed the Muscle by Tom Venuto. It will explain nutrition and training for any beginner or anyone looking to remember how to get their stuff on point.

Potatos, (white) may be higher on the GI charts, but couple that with healthy fats, lean protein, and fiberous carbs and it balances the whole meal out and drops the total GI value. Sweet potatos are better, but even Tom says he eats white potatos all the way up through competition training.

Read burn the fat feed the muscle and it will help you better understand what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat, by bodytype. If you cant reach your goals after reading this book then you really arent paying attention to your learning, training, and body.
