Hello Raynor

So a long time a go I bought VPX NOShotgun
After some time I quit working out and just left it half full ( sealed tight )

My question is

The expiration date says August 2010
Would it be..hm... a bad idea to take it now?

From my point of view, it doesn't look bad at all. Probably the same condition it was in when i had bought it brand new.


I need your input please ^^

I'm only able to eat onions and potatoes when it comes to vegetables.

To eat any other veggie, I MUST ABSOLUTELY grind them into a potage with some chicken concentrate and cheese, which doesnt make the thing as healthy. Not to mention this takes time that I don't have.

Whatever benefits someone gets from veggies I need to get from something else. What do you recommend? I already take a couple caps of multi vits every day, but I know that's not all there is to it. Kinda lazy on the googling so I'm asking here.

first of all, you CAN use the myofusion on cutting....it has virtually no carbs, so don't be afraid to throw it into your cutting. Same for bulking with the vitamins and fish oil....use those for bulking as well.


Caffeine is best on an empty stomach first thing in the morning with 20 mins or so of HIIT cardio. (approx 200-400mg)

Multivitamin should be taken 2x a day, once with breakfast, and once with dinner.

OMEGA 3-6-9 should be taken 2-3 pills with every meal that has a BAD balance of fats (more than a 1:2 ratio of saturated fats to unsaturated fats) essentially if there is more than 1 gram of saturated fats to every unsaturated fat, take the omegas. If not, just take 3x with ANY one of your daily meals.

Protein shakes are best POST workout and PRE workout...although for breakfast is also acceptable depending on the other items you are eating with it.

you need 2,200 cal per day.

1. no more than 25g carbs per day (except carb day and cheat day)
2. A split of approximately 70% calories from fat, 25-30% calories from protein. (only carbs will be from fiberous veggies and nuts)
3. Follow my exercise routine I gave you METICULOUSLY
4. Take fat burners every morning prior to eating with 2 large glasses of water, eat meal 1 approx 15-20 mins later.


Meal Plan:


Meal 1 - 4 whole eggs + 1 oz full fat cheese w/ 1/2 cup green peppers
Meal 2 - 1 zero carb protein shake w/ 3 tbsp heavy cream
Meal 3 - 1 salad with chicken breast and 2 tbsp olive oil + vinegar
Meal 4 - 1 can of tuna + 2 oz full fat cheese + 2-3 tbsp mayo + green veggies (celery, green pepper, etc)
Meal 5 - 6oz ground beef (80/20) with grated romano cheese, 4tbsp tomato sauce, and green veggies
Meal 6 - 1 cup cottage cheese + either 3tbsp heavy cream or 2tbsp olive oil w/ 8-10 almonds.


You can make substitutions as necessary, but keep calories to 2,200 per day with the proper fat/protein ratio, only carbs from green veggies and a few nuts, and at least 1 gal of water.

Perform this diet for 13 days straight and on the 14th day you are allowed your first CARB DAY:


Carb day is as follows:

2,500-3,000 calories, 85% cals from carbs, 15% cals from protein/fats. (this phase is to replenish muscle glycogen to fuel your next week of lifting)


Meal 1 - 2 large bowls of shredded wheat + FAT FREE milk
Meal 2 - a lot of pasta + tomato sauce and grated cheese
meal 3 - 2 cups brown rice, 1 cup black beans + salsa
Meal 4 - 1 large baked potato, 1 large sweet potato, veggies
meal 5 - 2-3 large bagels with nonfat cream cheese
meal 6 - 2-3 whole grain bran muffins with nonfat milk

Then you are going to go another 6 days with ZERO CARBS as illustrated first...and then on the 7th day you can have a CHEAT DAY...but with restricted calories....


Cheat day restricted calories:


2,000 calories total: cheat sample:


Meal 1 - 2 waffles with syrup + blueberries and strawberries
Meal 2 - 1/4 lb cheeseburger + small fries
Meal 3 - 1 ham and cheese sandwich w/ 1 bag sunchips
Meal 4 - 2 slices of pizza w/ whatever toppings you like
Meal 5 - 10 piece chicken nuggets


Then you are going to go another 13 days with NO CARBS...and then do the carb day again....followed 6 days later by the cheat day.



Keep repeating this process and you will see absolutely incredible fat losses with pretty decent muscle gains.


After 1 month (30 days) of this plan, you should have done:

day 1-13 - no carb keto
day 14 - carb up
day 15-20 - no carb keto
day 21 - cheat day
day 22-35 - no carb keto


Anyway......after doing this plan for 1 month with my exercise plan I gave you...if you start having issues with fat gain or lack of muscle gain, come get me and I will modify things accordingly. However, as of right now, this plan should work perfectly. Keep it up for at least a month before modifying the calories to suit your lower body weight.

Does the quantity of scoops I use of protein matter? I was thinking 1 scoop/serving.

How can I mix this diet up so it doesn't get old eating the same thing everyday?
