As soon as I'm back to work Patsy I will be in touch with you about a regime, no point in paying 10000 USD for my body lift if I haven't done the infrastructure work me thinks

Patsy Stoned

Just let me know when you are ready darling and you can come round for a chat and an assessment.

Resolution: Incorporate constructive comments and self-feedback re last year's partly-successful fat-busting programme, and carry though to completion this year. I won't bore with the details and blow-by-blow accounts this time, just post occassionally to report progress. Will just say that the plan includes heavy weights, regular low-intensity cv and less-frequent high-intensity cv, frequent meals, paleo-based diet, 3-4 months of intensity to get to roughly where I want to be, thereafter maintain everything (especially the paleo-based diet) but in moderation.

Oh yeah, and no booze in January

Have you looked into intermittent fasting? The small, regular meal paradigm is questionable according to some...

Bahtatboy

No, I find it counter-intuitive to keeping my metabolism ramped and building muscle (an important aspect for me), but I'll keep an open mind. Do you have the knowledge / experience, or do we need UKCityGent?

I have read a little bit about it. It can help promote growth hormone, IIRC. There's a book by Brad Pillon called Eat Stop Eat, which is well-regarded, and there was a documentary on BBC Horizon about it with Dr. Michael Moseley.

im mega into fasting nowadays. I always train in the morning on an empty stomach and drink water only. If i am doing a 3h+ session then i consider having some fuel, but generally i starve..

If the body cant find carbs on tap to burn, it has to get its fuel from somewhere...that place being your unlimited fat reserves...

Word of warning though, carbs are the fire that burns the fat. The fire needs to be lit...i.e..deplete yourself totally of carbs (in cycling/running known as bonking) and your body simply cannot function and burn fat. Basically you need to sit on your arse, eat, sleep and wait...

NOt sure if anyone actually asked me for that wee snippet or gives a ****, but its Thursday night and im prepped for my Friday morning sufferfest on the bike, so im in the zone.

cheers.

The best IF fasting approach for me is to use a combination of Leangains and carb backloading. I fast for 16 hours, eating 20% of mycalories (or have some BCAAs with a protein & creatine mix),training (a split, heavy loads using a reverse pyramid approach x 3 times a week on a full body cycle of 3 sets for 4-8 reps for a max of 45 mins) and then using the using 80% of the calories. Non-training days I mix it with martial arts and interval running or rugby. I eat paelo too. Personally i do not do any form of low steady state running as there is minimal reward from it.

The key difference between Eat Stop Eat and Leangains is the duration but from my research the body utilities fat after 12-14 hours. How long you keep the furnace going on is up to you, however after 30+ hours the returns diminish - hence i believe that 16/18hrs is an optimum risk/reward strategy.

If breakfast is an issue - then delay eating breakfast to keep the GH cycle.

On weight training sessions you need to increase your carbs, with low fat. On non training days you reduce your carbs and increase fat. Protein remains high, hence the need to supplement with protein and creatine drinks (if you cant eat your protein with real food). If you want to reduce fat, reduce the number of days you carb back load to one.

Your body will not go into a catabolic state if you do not eat for 16 hours or go into starvation mode (starvation mode relies on you having a low bodyfat and takes 4-6 week to kick in). You may feel hungry - just keep hydrated (especially if you use creatine) or black coffee with cinammon.

Hope it give you some ideas.

This is the key point of carb back loading - commander do you go into ketosis ?

Ill need to ask my coach

If that is the same as going from 350w on the bike to 30w with a rising heartate, falling off the bike and then puking (but of course there is nothing there)..and then calling someone for help..then yea..on occassion

Bahtatboy

****. Just when I though I'd got it clear in my head...knew I shouldn't have posted.

Gent: Can you map that into when to eat, and what (not which foods to eat, but which macronutrients at what times)? Assuming that my goals are fat reduction and muscle growth, and that generally I train early morning every day (with 1 day off per week).
