@Fleax1973

I don't know for sure but I think I did. I certainly looked like I did.

quick question...you say you averaged those calories over the week...did you follow Lyle's recommend of 50% maintenance early in the week? I only critique because your progress was phenomenal and any tweaks to his plan would be welcome to me! And I hope you post at his forums since you can prove you work the UD2 cycle pretty effectively.

[mpas0002]

I was eating 1200 cals/day early in the week and that was about 50% of my maintenance.

Congrats!

I've tried UD 2.0 before! Great Diet by Lyle!

BTW, how tall are you? weight before and after?

Sorry for my English!

Good Luck

6 feet

170 -175 Pounds

My weight pretty much stayed the same throughout the diet. I probably lost a couple pounds but there is always a swing in weight between the low carb days and the carb load.

@mpas0002 thanks for the response, and sorry to bother you again, but i just finish my first week and everything was good till todays workout ( low reps, heavy weight), did you have this problem?

i felt soft and without much energy, maybe i have to shorten the carb load to 24 hours and then go straight back to low carbs. thanks again, have a nice day.

@v1deom Go by the book. Your metabolism will not slow down. The 3.5 days of very low calories are to mobilize fat stores. any longer than 3 or 4 days your body would most likily dip into muscle as energy. thats exactly when you switch yourself over to an anabolic state and reap the rewards of your body rebounding from a highly depleted state. if you read his book he goes more scientific into it. I definatley reccomment the full body workout version to gain more from the added lactic acid.

this diet and workout are great. I went from about 13 percent bmi to having a full blown six pack and veins popping out on my stomach in 4 weeks! I responded great to it. only supplements i took were fish oil and a multi vitimin. I only dropped 3 pounds but i went up in strength in all my big lifts. The strictness of this program is what kept my eating in line. No way was I going to ruin my carb load after i went through those depletion workouts.

1200 calories a day! God you must have been starving.

[EricKomans]

@v1deom It wouldn't slow down your metabolism unless you sustained the deficit for a much longer period than that. If you're really scared about it, though, you COULD make the deficit on those four days only 500 calories. But then your total deficit from diet would only be 2000... before the carb load.

[aanderson66]

nice work. how are the wheels? and what percentage did you start at? how much below maintenence did you eat on the 4 depletion days? I'm at about 13 or 14 and planning on starting this within the week. probably next Monday. I'm excited but I have to hold off and give my leg one more week to heal.

great bod--what did you look like before the program?
