Ok now Famine hits hard on day 3 and your #'s are reflecting exactly what we're trying to accomplish. I know that sounds weird but it's part of the plan. The truth is, the low weights are probably not from day 3 of famine. They're probably low because I'm weak from not lifting for a long time. Just...

Just finished workout #2. I have to say that my weights are embarrassingly LOW, but it does feel good to be lifting again! Hopefully people reading this can understand we are at different levels, and not laugh too loud at the weights I'm using (at least don't tell me your laughing). Workout #2 of Fa...

Doug I would say try your protein below 35gms during this stage, the lower the better really. Sadly even at 58gms youre probably are still getting more than most Americans consume in their daily diets. It really helped me to post each meal what I had up here (especially on my 1st run), plus it kind...

THanks Hank and Rob. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to help me out. Good ideas on the cardio- I'll definitely do that. 1. Resting heart rate was 64 prior to starting famine 2. first day of famine (9/20), I had 56 grams of protein 3. I really feel pretty good. We'll see how the lifting ...

Thanks Rob! I tweaked the exercises slightly to avoid aggravating an injury, so hopefully my changes won't affect anything... Yesterday's final diet info: Calories- 1881 56.81% Carbs 31.36% Fat 11.83% Protein Today's Exercise: 60 minutes on elliptical (cybex) Should I be doing 60 minutes cardio ever...

Judging by the posts I've read, I'm probably the most undertrained person here, but at least I'm trying! Today was first day of famine. I will post nutrition info on the following day, for the prior day. I figure at some point I may need help with it, so I'm tracking it on Livestrong.com and will re...

thanks Rob.
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm starting Monday and want to be all ready.

ok to do EC through ALL phases? Just making sure...

I've never warmed up that way. Makes a lot of sense!

What do you think about using ECA during any of the phases?

Thanks Rob for getting back to me. I appreciate any help I can get! Just a couple questions: * Would my maintenance calories be approx 10 times bodyweight? * Given that I haven't been hardcore with the weights, should I be doing the EDT blocks, or would that be overtraining for me? Thanks! I hope to...

Hey guys- I just purchased BP- pretty excited/ slightly dazed after reading it... I'm 35 yrs old, 6'2", 230 pounds. A few months ago, I weighed 265 and still need to lose 20-30 pounds of fat. Would then like to grow some muscle, but 1st priority is getting rid of the gut and love handles. Basic...
