i want to shock my system with a low carb diet to lose a quick 20lbs. or so in 3 weeks.
anyone have any suggestions or pointers? All I know is no carbs. lol.
Thanks!
what up.
im doing a keto diet right now after bulking for around 2 years.
high fat and protein and < 30 g carbs a day.
it works really well, i suggest you try it.
get some ketostix to piss on to make sure youre in ketosis. depending on what method you choose, you can ether carb up every week or 2 weeks. if you want links and stuff to help lemme know.

the only draw back, besides maybe fat/salt/high blood pressure/etc is constipation. some people it doesnt effect. but i tried a ketosis diet a few years back, and literally after about 1.5 months with it i was on the toilet in agony trying to shit for about an hour. i finally got everything out after lots of laxatives. i was never in so much pain in my life and have since decided to NEVER go onto a full ketosis diet again. I get good results with under 80-100 carbs a day and have been carb cycling with great results. although, i sort of fell off the wagon a few weeks back due to a little bit of traveling, lots of birthdays, etc.
if i ever do try a ketosis type thing again, i'll still eat a bowl of oatmeal in the morning to keep my insides in line

i havent been constipated, but i understand that could happen. i eat the vegetables i can and it keeps it moving. other than that, a fiber pill is good. also, you may need salt on this diet, it also brings your cholesterol down. idk, maybe something you were doing wasnt exactly right.
i dont go too deep into ketosis, im right around trace amounts and small amounts. usually if youre really fat youll go deep into it.

i was actually really small at the time. around 150... i sort of did it for my woman at the time, to keep her on track with her diet. i notice big differences if say, im used to 60 grams of carbs per meal when bulking, then reducing to say 100-120 grams a day.. i get teh harz pooooperz

If anyone's looking for workouts, Mountain Athlete will tear your shit up. I'll share what i did yesterday for you all.
Warmup: 10 minutes of turkish getups using 45 lb freeweight
16 sets, reps of 16 down to 1, so starting out:
16 Thrusters @ 95
16 Weighted incline situps
32 Slasher to halo @ 45 lbs
After that i just fuck around the gym doing whatever for another hour. Recently i realized my back is underdeveloped compared to my chest and arms so I'm having to do some catchup.

yeah, im unaware of any major differences between the 2.
just watch your shit hole... if you start getting clogged up, do yourself a favor and eat some oatmeal or something to get your bowels straight

i think that probably depends on your current carb intake, water retention and weight. probably if you are a hoss, you could probably easily.
oatmeal isnt allowed on the diet, but it will give you the fiber and what not needed to keep your bowels straight. if you have that problem like i had on the diet.

concrete... diet coke is fine... no carbs. just fake sugar stuff that might be bad for you for other reasons...
rotator cuff... only shoulder work that does anything for me is heavy barbell and dumbell presses and laterals. stay off the smith machine for presses... unnatural movement = problems.

i dont think losing 20 in 2 weeks is realistic for everyone by any means. but i did know this dude who was close to 300 lbs and was about 5'6"
he did atkins... lost 17 or 18 lbs in the first 2 weeks.

You lot seriously think losing 20lbs in 2 and a half weeks is realistic!?
I've cut 20lbs in 4 days before. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but it's totally possible. A guy I train with did a 17lb cut in 24 hours. If you compete in a weight class sport it's unavoidable at times.

Im looking to get back in shape.
I cant remember the last time i broke a sweat. Im not fat or skinny im just normal but am really unfit. Ive started joggin each morning but only get a block or two before i need a rest and walk home, but its slowly becoming better.
Could someone suggest some simple workouts or something i should be doing to help get back in form?

Depends what your goals are...
if your just looking to do cardio you should mix it up as much as possible. jog, sprint, swim, jump rope etc...
ALso, look up HIIT if your looking to lose some fat. i think theres a wiki page outlining the principals.
i tend todo a slow cycle for 50 seconds. then fast as i can for 10 seconds.
repeat 10 times.
then do some low intensity for another 10 mins.
Press ups are ok but they will quickly become more of an endurance exercise. find a pull up bar. do some pull ups. dips are good too. and squats.
