Cheers mate but I already have them too. If you happen to have the AB for powerlifters though I would be very keen.

And yeah staying below 30g has been tough, but I think I'm on top of it. Very good to know if I go over a touch it won't matter.

I was actually thinking it would be near impossible to get 6000 cals with under 30g if you were a really big unit or bulking.

Yeah, the diet actually calls for 5% of overall calories to be carbs. For most people that amounts to around 30g. To bigger units, it's obviously more. If you require 4500 calories to live on, 30g is more like 2%. It's not so much about the number, its more the insulin management anyway. Have a look around at differen't PB's, there's some good ones out there. Forget sanitarium. That's yucko

PM me your E-Mail and it's on the way. I completely forgot I had it actually, I don't think I've even read it...

I hit 5000cal at one point and managed to take it to 35g of carbs one time I remember. I didn't eat a whole lot of anything unless it had a cute lil face or it came from something that had a cute lil face. The only fun thing about it was having a giant pile of bacon as a meal. Though it did make me appreciate my veg. A bit of broc drowned in EVOO is fine these days.

I'll have a look through the crypt and see if I can dig up anything else for ya.

4 days done no problem. Carbs all good, but I'm not counting carbs from green veggies and metamucil.

Never getting food cravings, always feeling satiated. Energy levels nice and stable, strength is fine, but deadlifts will test it tonight.

Prob lost a bit of water weight, arms looking slightly more vascular, could just be placebo effect. Keen to know my bodyweight first thing Monday morning.

Sounds good mate, hope you took some before pics so you can compare the difference! Would be interesting to see them after you have been doing this for a while.

Keep it up!

Capsule form or powdered Metamucil? If it's the flavoured powdered stuff, be a bit careful. Though delicious and damn useful for regularity, they use dextrose in 'em. I prefer Benefiber. If capsule or unflavoured stuff ignore this completely!

Cheers mate just picked some benefibre. Bloody girlfriend assured me the metmucil powder had no sugar in it, I had a feeling she was wrong.

Yeah because they use dextrose or malto, I forget which one, they don't specifically need to classify it as "sugar" The same deal as all those commercial "Weight Gainers" that have only 4-5g of sugar, yet somehow 60-80g carbs.

You get my e-mail?

NPR · 04-09-2010, 05:24 PM

Yeah got your email. Cheers for that.

And yeah it's maltodextrin, pricks! Got some benefibre and am smashing the steamed broc and green beans.

I didn't take any before pics but I will take some now. I weighed in this morning at 107.5 so already down in weight, and looking leaner. Strength is fine, I just got back from doing strict military press on 80kg for 5's so that's all good. Deadlifts were ok last night, 5x5 on 180kg quite easy, taking it easy because of the back.

Also I'm taking heaps of fish oil now, min 40 a day, some days up to 60. Most of my little niggles have gone! My wrist is now fine and my shoulder is greatly improved. I put this down to the anti inflam action of the fish oil.

Best supp on the market IMO.
