You made it sound like you were when you said you tried to do it.

In any case, you just need to make smarter choices. Ditch the Greek yogurt and granola. Eat some eggs or a protein shake and one piece of fruit. Not a lot of fruit. Just one piece.

Fat free or low fat cheese with your lunch. Throw in a protein shake mid morning and mid afternoon if you have to.

Then, instead of squeezing in your protein at dinner, because you skipped out on all the other stuff earlier, get your protein and then squeeze in some rice or more fruit then.

Tried a sample of ON's Casein protein.

Shit is grainy as all get out. Nasty.

Stick with whey, brah.

Don't drink it. Make a pudding with it. Put it in a bowl, add water (not a ton), and mash and stir. Makes an actually great pudding. Gotta know what the best way to use this stuff is.

I'm not trying to save it for dinner and I'm not getting enough calories. I eat 4oz greek yogurt with fruit and a little granola for breakfast (~22g), 5-8oz chicken/tuna/pork with fruit for lunch(~40-50g) and then try to eat whatever will get me all the way there for dinner(~50-60g). I added some cheese and other stuff for snacks but the portions for meals fill me up more than I thought they would and I'm never really hungry. Before I would have pasta or something with dinner that added calories easily, but the plan was to do fruit and veg intead. Right now, I eat as much of the protein as I can and only eat a little of the veg before I feel really full.

I'm not trying to make excuses or anything. I never thought it would actually be hard to eat food. I was on a intermittent fasting routine before this so I don't know if that is part of the reason I fill up so fast. I'm gonna get the protein powder and do something like pen is saying.

Maybe I missed it, but how much do you weigh? 150g protein is probably more than enough for a female (you did say that, no?).

First Carb Nite in the books.

Went with chicken and spaghetti, a couple of breadsticks, a slice of cheese cake and a bowl of Fruity Pebbles.

Holy **** that entire night felt weird. The good thing is that I'm ready to get back to 30 carbs and under.

Comon' bro, step your game up. Had my 5th CN last night. Started a little earlier to get more carbs in.

3PM PWO: 1/2 box rice crispies treats cereal, mixed in a big salad bowl with skim milk & MTW vanilla whey.

6PM: two plates of angel hair, 2 grille chicken breasts, tomato salad from da garden.

9PM: other half of crispies treats cereal, skim milk & whey, 2 giant 'black and white' cookies from bakery, 1 frosted entemann donut (all i could find left).

Tried my hardest to get 500-600G carbs in, it was rough. I was sweating my ass off eating lol.

... patiently awaiting Silocks 12K refeed menu.

after the 10 day break in, every saturday (7 days). The book talks about sooner carb ups if you train, but im just going to let it run its course then switch to his carb back-loading protocol after a few months.

Alright.....my next two CNs are going to be 5 days apart and then I'll move into a 7 day routine and see how that goes. Down 16 lbs so far.

Anyone here take Ginseng or Ginkgo Biloba for energy and focus?

I'm questioning whether or not I should begin taking either one and if they actually work.

No 12k refeed.

Maybe 3k between last night and the three bagels I just had. Last refeed for 2 weeks. Going to the gym tonight around ten for a nice three hour workout. Gonna really take my time, do a lot of low rep stuff and get a great heavy workout in to last me through the next two weeks. All my other workouts will be higher rep stuff after this one for the next two weeks.

Tomahawk --

I take ginkgo biloba. It's the best boner medication I've ever had lol I started taking it because it's supposed to help with altitude sickness, but it's such a great vasodilator that I kept taking it. It's cheap and there's no downside.

So, I've lost about 15lbs and can't seem to lose anymore.

Cut your calories. Problem solved.

Went in for my weekly weigh-in, came in at 313 pounds, 13 ounces. That's a 3 pounds, 3 ounce loss for the week, and 103 lbs. down from my high. This leaves me 88 pounds and 13 ounces from my goal weight of 225 pounds (I'm 6'3").

Work in progress, but feeling encouraged!

OK I'm tired of ****ing around so I'm going to hold myself responsible by posting here daily. Time to make some gainzZz.

After the weight you've lost, it should be getting harder to lose. Keep on kicking ass.

I think I need to go in for TRT.

I've been making some nice gains in my lower half. My calves have grown a decent bit and, more curiously, my quads are looking more ripped/bulky but not actually bigger and despite the fact that I've put on a sizable amount of fat as of late.. Strange.
