Just out of curiosity, how long are you going to do this nick?

Minimum 4 weeks.

I did this diet for almost a year and didn't "feel" any adverse side effects. I made sure to get my fats from good sources like olive oil/flax(dont touch the stuff now) fish oil, nuts/seeds and occasionally things like heavy cream. I refused to trim my steak at anytime though, that's sacrilige. I've never been a big fan of bacon honestly so I kept that to a bare minimum. My training was good, energy was good and I leaned out a bit, know I got a fair bit stronger and was honestly the first time I noticed I had a set of delts. In saying this I never "counted" green fibrous veggies and ate them to my hearts content. Which was a lot. Spinach and me where best pals. I must admit this was mainly because I was and still am a little, carbophobic. It's the dumbest thing, but I still keep in check if I eat too much rice but honestly wouldn't think twice putting down a whole jar of peanut butter.

Anyway at the end of it all I got my bloods done to "be sure" and caus I was curious honestly. All cholesterol, LDL/HDL, triglycerides etc etc where some of the best my Doc has ever seen. This is more than likely caus I'm a healthy young buck anyway and not a decrepid sickly person that I'm sure Doc's are used to seeing. So take with a grain of salt or side of bacon.

I don't eat this way anymore. Carbs and me a begrudging friends.

I have no doubt I'll go back to how I was eating, albeit with more of a plan and calorie target level.

You got your first carb load tomorrow don't ya? Got it planned out or just going to wing it? Let's see a shopping list of what you think you'll cram down.

Weight was up to 108.5kg from 107.5kg monday. I have no idea how becase i've been eating exactly the same, even less sometimes if i have a late dinner I will have a big one and skip my pre bed meal. Staying below the carb level too.

All I can put it down to is being back in regular training and packing on the muscle I lost not eating or training over the last 2 months.

Still looking leaner so I guess its still working.

First carb load weekend done!!

Saturday loaded up with oats, fruit and all the good carbs. Sunday went to the snow for a day trip, forgot my camelback and food!!!! Ate what was available which was a pizza, chicken and salad sandwich and some horrible fried chicken at the bonnie doon servo. Finished the day off with heaps of veggies and fruit though. Not perfect but not a total disater.

Stength was great on saturday, MP 90kg for a double (amazed at this after so much time off heavy pressing) and managed 247.5kg x 5 on trap bar deadlifts. And a few of the boys said I was looking leaner. Also Sunday night i looked huge and vascular all over, as if everything was totally pumped, must be the glycogen replenishing, quite cool!

I had an early breakfast meeting this morning and forgot to weigh myself, I'll do it tmw morning and post it all up.

Good stuff Nick. That's probably the cleanest "first" carb load I've ever seen. Most people go to town on junk, realise after the 2nd - 3rd time they do it, it makes them feel like crap and go to cleaner foods. I did it! It was great. How I loved fresh croissants from the Bakery...

You track anything over the weekend or just go by feel? Infact do you track your cal's/macro's at all? Just curious.

NPR · 14-09-2010, 10:01 AM

Just feel mate.

Should be even cleaner this weekend I'll be home the whole time.

Bodyweight was 109.7kg this morning. I seem to be gaining weight? I don't really mind.
