Since roughly Christmas, ice been running carb nite. Great diet from DHKiefer. Pretty much a cyclic ketogenic diet (30g of carbs/day with one night of a re feed). I dropped from 285lbs to about 255. Good results as far as weight/fat loss is concerned, unfortunately there was a marked loss of strength and work capacity.
Frustrated with my strength level, I decided to work with Brandon Crabill, a fast rising star in the power lifting community. I've seen him drop 50lbs of fat, while nearly doubling his big lifts over the last year or so (700+/600+/700+ @ 200)
He's running my diet and lifting/conditioning...
Diet seems based on carb cycling, with 2 high carb days, 2 medium carb days (these 4 carb days occur on training days) and 3 low carb days.
Just trying to settle into the diet, which is rather difficult, as I'm used to fasting must of the day. Thus current scheme has me eating very often, which ends up with me drinking various zip lock bags full of oats and protein powder that I procure from my white coat all day while rounding...
I need to plan my meals better, as I can see myself getting tired of this quickly if I'm not careful.
Lifting is currently based on tempo lifts done in super sets of seeming antagonist muscle groups. I'm trying to keep rest periods low,
