A good day off
Today all I ate was a large pepperoni pizza and a coke. No, not healthy but I decided to have a break day as I am starting fresh tommorow. I am gonna cut the good old fashion way. Burning more calories then I consume and eating enough protein and lifting weights to maintain muscle mass. [...]
1 week of UD 2.0 Complete
I can see that this program has lots of potential, however I will not continue to follow it. My body does not respond well to the program for a few reasons… 1.) My job is pretty labor intensive and I can’t afford to be lethargic especially on those low-carb days where I have low energy [...]
Carb load finished
Finished up my carbohydrate load today. I think my protein was a little bit low today but that’s okay. I didn’t really track anything today and I felt a little off. I am really really bloated today. According to the book if my carbohydrate load went successful I should look the leanest tomorrow morning. I [...]

I have already noticed some quick effects of this “extremism”…. -Had trouble sleeping. This is somewhat expected on [...]

Today I begin the Ultimate Diet 2.0. This is a fairly rough program but I am ready for it. Here is my starting picture: Start of the Ultimate Diet 2.0 Today was the first day of the glycogen depletion. The workout was full-body, lots of reps, 6 sets per body part. It was pretty rough [...]
The Ultimate Diet 2.0
Today I got The Ultimate Diet 2.0 written by Lyle Mcdonald. This is the book I will be following to gain muscle and lose fat to achieve my goal of six pack abs.
Started today
This is my first post. I have just started my journey today. I will be following a strict workout and diet plan to get six pack abs. In fact, for today at PT (I am in the Air Force) we had to do a pretty strict cross fit workout. I am currently around 180 pounds [...]
