Yo, what's happenin', people? This is Low Carb Cory. I'm a health/wellness/fitness coach from Central Wisconsin. I love to watch basketball and football (go Packers!), play basketball, swim and hit the beach in the summer, weight-train 3 to 4 days a week and write, produce and record my own music. I am on a mission to get RIPPED - to get my bodyfat down to about 8% and get that lean, Hollywood'ish, leading man look that makes women go crazy and makes other men seethe with envy.

I started weight-training heavily in March of 2009 at what I now consider to have been quite a fat (20-24% bodyfat) 170 lbs. I had been taking the conventional advice that the health and fitness community gave me (eat 6 small meals a day, get multiple servings of grains, eat fruit, do cardio at the gym and work out 5-6 days a week) and you know what happened? I GOT FATTER. My ego wanted me to believe that I was putting on muscle, but I got a wake-up call when, after growing to 197 lbs (and although being stronger than ever), my belt, which I'd always comfortably worn on the second loop, started getting snug and chafing me on the FIRST LOOP. I was overweight, burned out, sore and tired as a dog. I decided right then and there that I was going to do something about this.

I went online and spent countless hours researching and reading opinions, advice columns, weight/fat loss forums and medical research papers...and you know what I found out my problem was? I was eating too many damn carbohydrates, drinking too many damn caffeine and working myself too damn hard. So what turned out to be something I thought was a waste-of-time "fad diet", LOW CARB EATING, actually turned out to be the answer to all of my problems. Dr. Robert Atkins was on to something.

Between the end of September, 2011 and the end of November, 2011, I lost 31 lbs, all the way down to my high school weight (165 lbs), using a combination of an Atkins-Diet-style "induction phase" (20g of net carbs a day, no more) and a 6-day water fast (drank nothing but water for 6 days, no food), followed by an Atkins-Diet-style maintenance eating plan that contained less than 40g of net carbs and intermittent fasting (only eating during a 2-4 hour window on any given day, usually after work, between 6:30 and 10:30 PM).

I have had so much success with my fat loss weight management that I have decided to share my wisdom, knowledge and experience with you! I love to research and learn new things in my spare time constantly, so I will be giving you great information on healthy eating, fitness, general wellness, supplements, workout tips and a number of other topics as often as possible! I want you guys to be the best you can be, because we all wish we could make the world a better place, and I truly believe that I have the power to do that by helping you get more fit, healthier and in the best shape of your life. I can't wait to help you reach your fitness, wellness and health goals!

Oh btw what can you eat besides cereal for breakfast? Thats what I usually eat but I see now it has lots of carbs lol :D

[lowcarbcory]

@maliaX3girl Cereal is terrible for you. I will eat the same stuff for breakfast that I can have for dinner: Chunk light tuna, whole eggs, cheese sticks or cheese (if you like dairy), shrimp, bacon, sausage, ground beef, salsa, turkey, chicken. It can be anything. You have to make eating better a priority and carve out some time to do it. Don't always be in such a rush, and then you wouldn't have to eat bad stuff like sugary cereal and granola bars.

[maliaX3girl]

Baahhh if you think of the after math when you go on a fast you gain it all back when you eat again but I'm not saying you would because you seem like you know what t f*** your doing lol

[lowcarbcory]

@maliaX3girl I didn't "gain it all back" when I did it. Dropped from 196 to 165 over the course of the month surrounding my fast, and I am around 175-177 now after weight-training for 3-4 months.

[lowcarbcory]

@maliaX3girl You do gain "water weight" when you start eating again, especially if you eat a lot of carbs (which I don't).

@lowcarbcory Hey.. I think i'm at the weight loss part of my diet to do the 6 day water only diet.. but I have so much going on.. were i need the fuel to keep me going throughout the day.. I wake up around 4am.. and normally don't got to bed til 12 am.. I have to take and pick up my kids to and from school, work, school myself, and homework after their in bed.. would this even be a good ideal for me.. if i have such a busy life.. THanks .. Michelle

[lowcarbcory]

@candybox3200 And when I do eat carbs like potatoes, grains, rice, etc...I get them right around my workouts. Like a bowl of light cereal and skim milk BEFORE I do weight-training, and then sweet potato cheaps and granola afterwards. But I always make sure to get at least .7 grams of protein per lb of my bodyweight. Gotta do that to maintain and build muscle. The less muscle you have, the less calories you burn at rest. So I definitely recommend weight-training for muscle!

[lowcarbcory]

@candybox3200 The key for me, being busy like you (although not QUITE as busy as you), is to plan ahead, where meals are concerned. I only drink sugar free energy drinks (no soda), and mostly as pre-workout drinks....I eat a lot of whole eggs, chunk light tuna, ground beef, bacon, and sausage sometimes, cheese, peanuts, organic peanut butter, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, turkey, chicken, etc. I only eat carbs other than veggies when I'm trying to build muscle.

[lowcarbcory]

@candybox3200 First of all, I love your profile picture! You are GORGEOUS! About the Water Fast/Diet...I did do mine for 6 days...but I lost allllll my muscle AND all my nervous system conditioning. I had zero strength when I went back to the gym. I only recommend water fasting for obese people now. Low Carb to get insulin under control should be your goal if you are only 20-40 lbs overweight or so. Idk how overweight you feel you are. I eat a lot of whole eggs, tuna, veggies, etc.

@alphacause I am very familiar with Gary Taubes. He is actually a big reason for why I switched to low carb and believe in it so much. it worked for me just like he said it would.
