"2014 - Kunce of the year"
Yep I had blood tests done before starting it, all was 'normal', test was on the low side of 'normal', but still within normal, I wish it would have been higher, might get bloods done again soon as well.
Definitely worth a try, as you appear to be like me as at the end I was not losing weight even at 1800cal and 117kg training 5-6 days a week, and was feeling weak as I had no energy to train, as my body slowed metabolism to a halt and I was always hungry. Then tried Carb Nite and dropped down to 108kg eating as much as I wanted and never feeling hungry, really seems to rev up the metabolism, and in the book he claims that many people who have dieted with low cal diets have damaged metabolism, and I am pretty sure I did, He explains it all in the book, I found it interesting, explaining why certain diets will not work for some people.
Seem to be able to eat more and not gain any fat now after completing one Carb Nite cycle. He reckons take at least a months off the diet and then if you want to lose more weight go again, you can do this indefinitely. Not a fast way to lose weight, was steady at about 05-1kg per week for me, but no starving myself or counting calories, if you feel hungry just eat till no longer hungry, repeat as often as you like.
Anyway see what you think once you read the book, have never tried CBL, might do it one day in the future, personally I think I would need to train longer and harder with bigger sessions 3 time a week for max benefit instead of my short sessions 5-6 times per week.
