Oakley's Diet and Training Log

[Meetketchup]

Bullshit. Your upper body is much bigger than mine. Goals

You're blind then or have really bad body dysmorphia.

Here is where I was a year ago at the end of my cut vs this morning. Conditioning is close. I'm leaner than Justin had me before he started the rebound phase.

I'd like to have another off season and get closer to a classic weight cap before diving into that. We will see.

I get it.

You're very balanced. You've got a really good structure for open bodybuilding to be very competitive.

I think you fit into open better then classic though. Just need a bit more quad sweep, adductors and back thickness.

If you grow, open will only be better a fit IMO. The waist isn't big but, it's not tiny. Added sweep on the quads would help though.

Sorry, just thinking outloud.

Fuck I love this. Thank you for your feedback. I'd rather do open than classic anyway. I just thought classic is where you start and then grow into open. Saying that out loud, I realize how dumb that is considering each division has weight caps.

Since I'm big on fad diets, I'm giving the "Sugar" diet a go. Just curious to see how I feel/look compared to my typical steak and egg diet. Yesterday I at as much fruit as I could put away until 6:30pm and then I had a new york strip, (6) whole eggs, and a glass of fairlife FF milk. Overall my mood was better for sure.

dahells the sugar diet

Woke up 1.5lbs up this morning. Not hungry at all but I know I need to get some fruit in me so my hunger spikes. I look tight this morning and ab veins where popping. Definitely a good look. And I know it is too early to see all the carbs in me. So I think it's going to be a cool experiment.

After doing some more research on FGF21, I'm going to go 48 hours without protein and fat. Wish me luck.

Quads tonight!

dahells the sugar diet

It's the latest hipster fad. Mark Bell is spamming youtube about it.

 

[Valdosta]

summary?

 

[Oakley6575]

summary?

An influx of Fructose/sucrose makes the liver secrete a hormone called FGF21 which supposably has a big impact on metabolism. Eating sugar, but mostly fructose in the absence of protein and fat makes your metabolism speed up like crazy. Sounds like protein inhibits FGF21.

Sounded like a good option for if you are at the end of cut when your metabolism will be the slowest. So we will see what happens.

@WheyMoreTraps just started it and reported something similar.

Doesnt really work if u eat candy and soda all the time year round tho so im out. altho it sounds cool like maybe i could have one day where i eat like 500g of whey, then 1 day i just eat candy all day? might actually give that a try

 

[Meetketchup]

Jesus f'ing Christ. This sugar diet has been around for decades. Nothing new. Different names and variations such as skip loading, high carb day, etc.

It's a super short-term thing that when you are coming off a high fat carnivore diet may be beneficial SHORT term.

I'll do 2 high carb days a week in the off-season where I eat 900g of carbs and more than half are from sugar, but if you think going on this full time for any length of time is good while taking in practically no protein? Have fun with that. Name me one bodybuilder who does the sugar fad diet as outlined by the influencers. Waiting.... Waiting...

@Oakley6575 You essentially experienced a carb up. Nothing less or nothing more.

Not trying to be a dick, but I wouldn't say anything if I didn't care.

I love it man, best thing I’ve done since adding retarrutide. I’ll let the results speak for themselves as I always do

This is exactly my situation. And I've tried every diet under the sun because nutrition is the only reason I'm doing this bodybuilding thing. I fucking hate training. Nutrition is the fun part to me.

I've used Justin's high day approach ever since I got into bodybuilding. I wouldn't say this is a high carb day, or a skip load. No one in the body building space is going to go without protein for days, let alone a few hours. These fasts of only "sugar" are a bit different and why I'm giving it a go for a couple days, or maybe a couple weeks if I see results.

FGF21 supercharging metabolic rate is what I'm after. If I don't feel like I get a benefit, I'll drop it quick. I fucking want a steak and some eggs right now.

I'm sure that sugar diet will pack the muscle on

Yea, definitely not the goal or phase I'm in right now.

Well, the fruit bit me in the ass. I must have has a bad piece of fruit during the day yesterday. I'm thinking it was from the fruit platter I got at Sams Club for lunch. Toward the later afternoon, I had this stomach ache that was intense and persistent. It wouldn't let up. I had quads last night and thought it was going to be an issue training, but luckily it wasn't. As soon as I was done training, it came back with a vengeance. Couldn't sleep, ended up throwing up twice during the night. Fuck me. Tried eating some fruit this morning but just couldn't really get anything down.

My plan was to wait until 6 or 7 tonight to have steak and eggs, but I ended up cutting the fast early and had some protein around 2:30pm. I feel a bit better, but I can tell there is still something in my stomach that just won't pass. Hopefully tomorrow I'm good.

Last night during quads I kept going hypo after my last few sets. Crazy with how many carbs I had leading up to that workout.

Could be, but it's not uncommon for bad stomach issues when making such a drastic shift in diet.

Feel better!

Today has been much better. Whatever was in my stomach seems to have passed finally. I "sugar" dieted in the morning, and then had a normal in-n-out high protein/fat lunch and steak/egg/milk dinner. I'll push the sugar phase a bit longer tomorrow and see how I feel.

Progressed on incline today so I'll up the weight next session.

Bayesian. I like the constant tension.

I ate A LOT of food yesterday. Yesterday was the first day I've noticed my metabolism ripping. My hunger was high, and I kept feeding the machine. Typical sugar diet until about 5:30pm where I ate (6) whole eggs in ghee, and a NY Strip. Two hours later I was soo hungry, I ate another (6) whole eggs in ghee and another strip steak. Half a pound up on the scale this morning.

Now that I'm seeing the metabolism benefits, my plan this morning was to sugar fast all of today. I'm still stuffing my face with as much fruit, juice, sorbet, and I added some starches post workout, as I can, just to see what the scale does in the morning. I'll get some progress pics tomorrow morning to see if I'm leaner at all with the scale staying stagnant during the week.
