Guest guest Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hi , The only thing I can think of is that your fats are low?? AND your carbs are high glycemic?? This would suggest that you add your fats back in (horrors of horrors -- risking a weight gain!!!) and go strictly low glycemic carbs including no dairy? and grains? and certainly no sugars including fruit, especially juice???? and give it several more days. How's your energy? Are you more frustrated from lack of continuing fat loss or because your calories are to low or your overtrained -- or some combination of above??

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I'm assuming this talk about a 'carb up day' is the same idea as having a cheat day on a day off from training, where I usually have a high carb and low protein day, to increase anabolic response the next day when I'm back to training and eating properly. I used to do this when I was bulking, when obviously having a lot of carbs wasn't too much of an issue. But I haven't really included a cheat day for a while on my current cutting cycle. I'm not entirely convinced that the response would be enough to make up for all those calories. Does any one have any links to some studies or research on the effectiveness of this stuff, or just some more insight? Thanks, Micah , Melbourne, Australia. ________________________________ From: " , " <miguel.perez@...> Supertraining Sent: Fri, 14 May, 2010 1:12:12 AM Subject: RE: Re: Speaking of diets... wrote, a " carb up " day, one time a week. I've been doing just that. How long have you been doing it? You might just be overdoing the carb-load day. It's very easy to get carried away, what with the extreme insulin spike one gets! You could try loading carbs for only half a day.

To everyone, thanks for your help. Telle: The reason why I've been using heavy cream/cheese is due to a recommendation I got from a few people as suggestions for sources of calories. I also get calcium from cheese. I also eat a lot of green veggies. Note that I've been doing a LOW CARB diet, so " colorful " veggies have been restricted due to their sweetness (higher carb count). However, I have heard of dairy allergies (as it were): for example, my last doctor told me that caseins (predominant in dairy) cause inflammation, which can cause weight issues (or worse, if you're arthritic, like I am). I gauge my dairy intake, therefore, based off of how arthritic I feel, and I've been feeling great. Also, I have increased my " colorful " veggies just in the past week. I also added strawberries, seeing that they're pretty low in carbs. We'll see what happens. /Tony: I've heard of " refeeding. " The diet I've been following the closest was offered by a guy called Mark McManus (musclehack. com). It's his " Total Six Pack " diet. People CLAIMED it works like a charm. And, the past month notwithstanding, it's worked for me, too. Just need to get over this hump. The thing he suggests is a " carb up " day, one time a week. I've been doing just that. However, maybe I need more to get me out of this rut. *shrug* : Never heard of " dairy addiction " either. All I've heard that might be related to that is the link between casein intake and inflammation. I guess it helps that I'm taking a metric crapload of Omega 3s (fish/flax/nuts/ capsules) . I'll say this much for keeping carbs around (or under, ideally) 30g...for ME, anyway, my arthritis is FINALLY under control. So, even if I can't get under 12% body fat (where I am now), I guess I can say that much. Age is 37, by the way. ============ ========= ========= = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Micah, I am not aware of any studies on the practice. In my opinion, you have to be severely depleted for a full-on carb load not to be counterproductive when trying to reduce bodyfat using a low-carb diet. As in after multiple training sessions and several weeks of serious dieting. Again, my opinion only.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hi , at 12%, it does become more difficult to lose bodyfat. Lyle Mc just did a post on that. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/fasted-cardio-and-fat-loss-qa.html It's worth a read.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Micah, You should check on some of Lyle Mc's work. Leptin apparently refreshes Leptin secretion, which acts to suppress appetite. Here is the series on leptin http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/the-hormones-of-bodyweight-regulation-\ leptin-part-1.html http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/the-hormones-of-bodyweight-regulation-\ leptin-part-2.html http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/the-hormones-of-bodyweight-regulation-\ leptin-part-3.html http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/the-hormones-of-bodyweight-regulation-\ leptin-part-4.html http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/the-hormones-of-bodyweight-regulation-\ leptin-part-6.html http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/the-hormones-of-bodyweight-regulation-\ leptin-part-the-last.html See also: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/fat-loss/flexible-versus-rigid-dieting.html He also has a few books that you can buy if you are interested in more info. In particular, Flexible Dieting and Rapid Fat Loss. Also Whole Health Source did a posting a while back too. http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2008/08/hyperphagy.html Lyle does a good job of researching and knows his stuff. The one concern I have is that it is aimed at people who are athletes, in general, rather than average joes, but that should not be a problem for most of the people on this board.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Thanks for posting this article link. Really helpful. I guess I'll learn more about this stuff in physiology later in my degree.
