if I do, i think i wanna go on keto. I'm 5'8'' 175 pounds right now. Could you give me a keto meal plan?

These are all unflexed pictures.


I'm a little worried about my bf%,but I can still see some flabs. According to the calipers, i'm either 17% or as high as 22%.

I seem to be accumulating majority of my torso fat on my love handle region.

hey its me again :D

alright well is there anything i can do to help jumpstart or spark ketosis after my carb up?

for example, when i first started on monday 8am. I was already showing trace by tuesday night.

then wen i did my carb up i notice it wasnt as fast... started to find a trace Wed

and then this carb up i didnt show ne thing by thursday (and my carb up was sunday)

my diet stayed virtually the same, a little diferences here or there based off of accessibility but deff no cheating.

EDIT

also curious as to why citric acid can potentially knock u out and for how long?

i thought it took 30+ carbs to get someone out of ketosis, why wld citric acid do so?



Hey there.

After a carb up, the BEST way to get back into ketosis is a massive glycogen depletion.

To do this, the morning after your carb day, wake up and perform 1 hour of INTENSE cardio on an empty stomach (with plenty of cold water to drink). After completing training, do not eat for 1 hour afterwards. That 2 hour window, plus the time you were sleeping will force your glycogen levels to deplete much faster. Continue with a normal workout later that day as usual which furthers glycogen depletion. You should be back in keto much faster this way.

Secondly, as far as citric acid - it is an anomaly. Some people see it throwing them out of ketosis, others do not. It's body sensitivity based, this is a better suited question for a chemist. I personally have no idea as to why the particular chemical reaction causes this. We never learned anything even close to this in medical school to this point ;-)

could u give me a 1900 calorie keto diet? i suck at these diet planning things lol. the one in the link is like 2.2k, or could u tell me which food to cut out of the 2.2k keto diet to get to 1.9k?

i'm 5'8'' 175 pounds, does 1850 BMR sound about right?

i'm not really familiar with the keto diet. Should I get a food weight scale, since this sounds like every delicate process. I DO NOT want to lose any muscle that i spend building these past 3 month lol.

tweezers, then hydrogen peroxide or alcohol.

I have the same problem when I shave.

The best bet is to try the following:


1. Take a hot shower first
2. At the end of the shower, take a hot washcloth and apply it to your face and let it sit for about 1-2 minutes
3. After enough hot water is soaked into your face, use a pre-scruffing lotion or liquid
4. After scruffing your beard sufficiently, apply a generous amount of shave cream or gel (preferably one designed for razor bumps and ingrown hairs)
5. Use a smooth razor like the Schick Hydro 5 and clean the blades between strokes with a jet of running water
6. Shave WITH the grain and not against it if you can avoid.
7. After the shave, open the pores once more with the hot towel for 1-2 minutes
8. Apply facial cleanser/wash, let sit for 30-60 seconds.
9. Rinse it off with hot water
10. Apply cold water directly to the face for 30-60 seconds (this closes the pores)
11. Use a good aftershave for razor bumps/ingrown hairs afterwards

Hey there.

Yes, get a food weight scale - this is EXTREMELY important.

Secondly, here is your diet modified for your BMR



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


You can make substitutions as necessary, but keep calories to 1,900 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

i wanted to Pm you Raynor but your inbox is full so i'll post

I was wondering if you'd happen to have information regarding these 2 products.

http://leanmusclextrial.secureweboffer.com/offer/1/

https://www.vimaxtrial.com/click/


I have been working out constantly like 5 days a week for a while now seeing results. I'mn 6'1 190. My goal is 220 then drop and cut to 205. But it's going to take such a long time. I just saw these online and curious if you have heard about them or tried them and if they are the real deal or bullshit.

Found this info on this website

http://www.johnsdietsite.com/blog/ca/

Also creatine is it good or bad for you?? i was informed that it has a loading phase between 5-10 days and just adds mass water weight which you end up urinating out.

Steroids is not an option and never will be.

i currently take Myofusion and Glutamine


Thanks

Hello there...first of all...all of that stuff is BS - don't waste your time. If you are looking for a good plan to bulk up and eventually cut...please follow these directions (including proper creatine dosing - which is perfectly safe and healthy!)

Hey there.


1. first off, why are you interested in the zig zag approach? just want to try something new? or do you have specific goals in mind?

2. Secondly...the 6 day split with cardio (primarily for cutting and volume enhancing/maintaining) is pretty basic and effective...please read the bottom of this post for the plan.

3. Thirdly, don't count reps when you are doing breakdowns and failure sets....the goal is muscular failure...and when you count reps you shortchange your potential. Just simply do as many reps as you can with a specific % of weight. Example, for set 1, you WILL count reps because its a warmup (usually 30% of max vs 15 reps). After that, set 2 should be close to 80% of max for as many reps until failure, then take 20% off and keep going, then another 20% off of that and so forth until you get all the way back down to virtually what you started with.


4. VPX zero impact bars are my absolute favorite for quick meals on bulking when a full food meal is not available. They taste amazing, have ZERO soy protein, and are made entirely of good stuff (no artificials or other garbage) They are worth it in my opinion, definitely.



Ok and now for your 6 days split for cutting and volume enhancement/maintenance:


Mon - chest/bis + cardio
tues - back/tris + cardio
weds - legs/shoulders + cardio
thurs - chest/bis + cardio
fri - back/tris + cardio
sat - legs/shoulders + cardio
sun - CARDIO ONLY

Each exercise will be performed in the way of 5 total sets....1st set being a warmup set, 2nd set jumping to 80% of weight and then failure, drop 20% off of that and go until failure, drop 20% off that and go till failure, and drop a final 20% off and go until failure for a total of 5 sets. Take no more than 12-15 seconds rest between sets....the less rest the better. Do plenty of FORCED REPS...negatives....and breakdowns. You are working until total muscular destruction.

Mon - Flat Bench, Incline Bench, Decline Bench, DB Flies, Preacher Curls, Seated Hammer Curls, EZ bar 21's

Tues - wide grip Lat pulldowns, cable rows, bent over BB rows, T-bar rows, skullcrushers, cable tricep pulldowns, and DB kickbacks

Weds - Squats, Laying leg curls, DB lunges, Leg Extensions, Standing Calf Raises, DB Front and Lat Raises (3 sets of each), DB shrugs, seated arnold presses, behind-the-head military press.

Thurs - incline DB press, flat bench DB press, DB pullovers, Cable flies 21's, Standing DB curls, High Cable curls, Olympic bar curls (standing)

Fri - Good Mornings, close grip lat pulldowns, DB lawnmower rows, Cable Rope Pulls, Close-Grip Dips, Cable Kickbacks, DB Tricep Extensions (seated)

Sat - Hack Squats, Seated Leg Curls, Leg Press, Donkey Calf Raises, Seated DB shoulder press, Straight-Arm cable pulldowns (Dickersons), BB shrugs

Sun - CARDIO ONLY

Every day, do 20 mins of HIIT cardio BEFORE hitting the strength training, then follow up with another 20 mins of HIIT post-strength training.

you can do either treadmill, eliptical, or stationary bike (alternating these is fine)....or you can swim/jog/bike also using HIIT format.


just make sure to do a total of 40 mins (20 pre and 20 post) of HIIT.



for sunday - do 1 hour of cardio in two 30 min intervals, also HIIT in style.



This plan is primarily for a solid cut with maximized muscle volume saving


For the workout plan, could I substitute, all bicep and lat exercises with chin ups? That seems like a butt ton of machine and small exercises. Could a more simpler with more compound exercise oriented program be used? Like with barbell rows, back squats, deadlift, overhead press, power clean, bench press or something of that sort.
