So I find I can put on the kilos pretty easily when I try. I'm talking 3-5 kilos a month... Yes, some of it is fat but for the most part its muscle. My problem is that when I get to my goal weight of around 82kgs, I find it incredibly hard to stick to a maintenance diet that doesn't either wear me out mentally and physically through lack of carbs, and/or actually maintains my muscles for the long haul. Not because I can't 'handle' it, but because I have a job and relationships I need to maintain - nobody likes an uninterested space cadet who does crap work.
Most of what I know is about gaining mass. What happens when you reach your ideal 'fat + muscle' mass? Do I find out my exact calorie requirement and then build a fundamentally sound diet to meet it? Thus giving me the 10% BF sculpted body we all seek? I definately can do this - the problem is that I just don't feel that crash hot when I calorie restrict. Maybe because I am addicted to the higher (4000+) calorie diet? Does anyone else feel shitty when theyr'e on a cut? I mean more mentally than physically. Im used to feeling shitty because I eat and train till I puke regularly. I just cant handle not having mental clarity, which low carbs definately gives me + irritability. Does anyone have a diet they can recommend + a training guide for cutting?? That would be ace.
I recently started taking general health supps - supergreens, wheatgrass and bee pollen which seem to be making a small difference. I definately feel less bloated than before.
