Rev running at -75

[ReverendMaynard]

Pounds that is. Been dieting and training hard the last two and a half months and through hard work and determination I cut exactly 75 pounds off officially this morning, and 20% body fat. Anyone looking to get in shape, look at an old fashioned sport called boxing lol, it'll make you puke the fat out.

[Witchdoctor]

congrats Rev. That is awsome bro.............. :thumbsup:

I could stand to loose a few myself....

Glad Poppa Rev is taking care of bidness. I bet your energy level and whole outlook on life has improved dramatically to boot. Nice work brother.:clapping:

[Patch]

That's it. This thread and the MOA videos have inspired me to work on that 25 lbs I've been talking about for 15 years.

[Splave]

do it! Im down 10 from MOA :D

[Kal-EL]

Ugh, I'm up 10 :Dizzy:

[Chuchnit]

Ugh, I'm up 10 :Dizzy:

Time for alternate site? www.dietholics.com? :Dizzy: Life has been kicking my sack around for a while, but I finally realized how damn out of shape I am. Cardio is just embarrassing. Been waking up early and doing my little thing. Weight has stayed about the same but I am eating way cleaner and staying hydrated. Damn I wish there was a BJJ gym around here. It would make working out so much funner.

[rickss69]

Mayonnaise FTW! :good:

One of those lucky fkers that can do that. my metabolism is off that charts. I can eat it and burn it off in an hour. Good lookin boy you got there Rev. Gonna be a lady killer.

I was like that my whole life. Highest I ever weighed was 160 until about 4 months ago. I finally started to get well and taking prednisone for over a year
finally caught up with me. Now I weigh 178!!! I had to start watching what I ate because all the sudden it was sticking. :Dizzy:

I hear that, I need to start eating better and get the hell out of the house

[ReverendMaynard]

Thanks guys :) Witch, just cut the carbs to around 20g's per day for a month and you'll shed weight like crazy. See a doctor first, as people can get diabetic really easy from shifting their metabolism to convert energy from protein and not complex and simple carbs.

Oh and get into MMA training. I go till I puke. Nuff said.

Totally amazing dude. You're dropping pounds like crazy. Seems like two weeks ago you were at -75. :shock:

Good info on the diabetese. I had never heard of that before. I thought you got type II from being fat and eating too many simple carbs. I didn't know that worked in reverse.

MMA trainging. Hmm well I know grappling is one of the hardest workouts I've done. Demands every muscle in the body to work... I could only imagine adding stand up + wieghts + cardio in one session. Well I've done that, but in totally separate time slots with meals and rest in between.

[Chuchnit]

Oh ya, how long did it take you to get your energy back after cutting the carbs? I always hated how I felt when I cut carbs. Especially because of how weak I felt at the gym. How long is the transition before your body starts using your protein as an energy source?

[GeorgeStorm]

Incredible work
So what kinda diet you on now that you've cut carbs so much?
What is a standard meal for you?

[Witchdoctor]

I will give it a shot, But man I love bread and pasta

need to do something though, I guess to get serious you have to completly relook at what you eat even when dinning out.

O no .......... beer is a carb :ohcrap:

Thanks bro. My Dr was very vocal about the possibility that my pancreas may react to the sudden drop in sugar intake and monitored that really closely with a twice a day test kit. Luckily enough my blood sugar level was, is remains perfect.

My MMA training is awesome. Start with warmups, then I box with with a bit of Mauy Thai and dirty boxing (up close, lots of grappling/body work) mixed in for 2 - 3 minute rounds with a guy on the pads constantly moving, swinging and changing levels, then it's Thai push-ups, storks, crunches, finishing off with 3 minutes of grappling. Followed by 10 minutes of puking lol.

Took me 7 days to bounce back for dropping carbs. Key is to overload with protein right from the start, egg based shakes, egg whites, lean meats, fish, chicken etc...

Incredible work

Thanks George. I'm on a custom high protein, low fat, low sodium, almost 0 carb diet designed by a nutritionist assigned by my Dr.

Standard breakfast would be 4 egg whites mixed with one regular egg in scramble or omelette form, maybe some sauted mushrooms and green onion tops, some low lactose Allegra cheese and a piece of pea-meal bacon.

Lunch I'll make wraps with lettuce instead of bread or tortilla's with either plak smoked salmon with dijon, bbq steak, chicken breast...all lean meats with little fat but grilling really helps that out.

Dinner I'll steam a half of a head of broccoli and cauliflower, with a bbq steak, fish or chicken/turkey breast.

No sugar, alcohol, flour, wheat, gluton, yeast, fruit, fuit juice, any vegetable that grows below the ground like carrots or potatoes and allot more than I can list.

Good deal mang. Good thing you stayed healthy. When I worked out I always had a high protein intake, but I really suffered with stamina when I would try to make a cut and loose the carbs. Either I would end up frustrated at my gym results, or end up craving carbs so bad that my cheat day ended up being a whole months worth of cheating. I guess I was more obsessed with strength though and that's why I didn't stick with it.

Pretty intense man. If I had to pick two diciplines to study, it would be mauy thai and bjj. In reality there is no gyms here with either dicipline nor do I have the time. If I could find a bjj gym I would find the time though. I'd like take formal classes with a gi. :thumbsup:

What intake levels are you at? 1.5-2 grams per lb of total weight or lean body mass?

Pure dicipline there buddy. Losing 90lbs shows you've stuck to that diet too. Here fish cost too much, but I could just about eat steamed brocalli and grilled chicken for every meal. Only if the chicken is cooked on the grill though. Otherwise it gets old. You've proven that its 90/10 diet/exercise to loose the weight though.


When you get to your target are you gonna share some before/after shots? :good:

[GeorgeStorm]

Sounds like quite a pricey diet!
Agreed, when you've reached your goal need before/after shots! :D
Kudos for the dedication man, so good to hear it's working so well :)

1.7g per per pound tbw. I lost 50 lbs before I started working out. Before and after pics for sure.

@ GS, I buy cheap cuts and season/marinade them into greatness.

[Chuchnit]

I gotta ask, why three meals a day? Why not 5-7 smaller ones? Obviously this method works. I just thought 5+ small meals was the way to go these days. That's all I've heard/read since I've given a shit about fitness.

3 main meals, in between I drink Isopure (insanely expensive) and egg protein shakes. I don't call them meals.

[Kal-EL]

I think the whole theory on 6+ meals per days jump starting the metabolism can work for most people but for some people its just teaching them to eat all freekin day!

My guess its more about curbing snack attacks. If you eat a "meal" every 2 hours your awake you are less likely to down a bag a chips or 2.

Its all about calories in vs calories out imo. Eat fewer calories then you burn you lose weight.

What I cant stand is how alot of these diet publications and even like yahoo etc just harp on how meat is bad for you :Dizzy: shut your face and get off the 100 calorie cookie packs fags rofl

haha very true. The first waytoomanymealsaday diet I went on I just ended up eating even more calories. I still suck at dieting and adjusting, but I do understand portions now.

lmfao, plus their biceps are only as big as their wrist; limp wrist at that. :rofl I'll cut out veggies and fruits before I give up my meat.

Its a simple matter of import vs export, profat/loss. If you're importing more calories than your exporting, duh, you're gonna be a fat fook (profat). But if you export more calories (exercise) than you import, you lose weight (loss).

That's a bit of a misconception because you can import more calories then you export if they are GOOD calories and not sugar/starch carbs. If your body goes into what is called 'ketosis' you replace the need for carbs, but it's a delicate balance of health because it can be dangerous. That is why you absolutely have to see a doctor and be monitored regularly. Upping protein and essential fatty acids is a must or you start to burn muscle.

Woe bro,

What the hell is left of you ???

Congrats bro, look like you are in this FTW ...........:thumbsup:

What's left is a happier, healthier dude Witchy. Still have a few pounds to go for my goal but that's no issue when I'm averaging 1.26 lbs of loss per day :)

[Witchdoctor]

Man I wish I had your resolve ....

I can't lose a pound .... new girlfried bakes .....

Bad situation when there is so much good shit laying around

Chocolate cake is my main delema this week, last week it was the pecan sticky buns .....

:ohcrap:

[Wumpus]

nice work man! almost 100lbs is madness!

and also, just thought it would be relevant to mention that your body gets energy from 3 places: carbs, fat and protein.

carbs are the easiest to break down, so they are burned first. Now, the reason those low carb diests work is because after you stop eating carbs, your body falls back to the next easiest thing to breakdown: fat. Protein is actually the hardest to break down of the 3. (i am pretty sure rev probably already knows this XD)

Although I really cant relate to any of this, still young @ 6 ft/165 :)

anyhow, amazing work man

[ReverendMaynard]

thanks man, appreciate it.

In my case, my metabolism is hyper fast which means carbs get stored as fat immediately. I could work out 5 hours per day and just burn the fat that carbs where stored at. When I was 100lbs heavier I ate really, really well, unfortunately I ate the wrong foods and this the case with allot of people who never have success just cutting down their portions and struggle to lose weight. Frustrating shit when society labels you as a fat slob when you never eat fast food, exercise and eat better than most people blessed with a good metabolism from the start of of life.

[Chuchnit]

Rev what kind of diet are you going to migrate too to sustain your weight after hitting your target? You gonna stay the same with carb/protein/fat percentages and just scale up the portions?

[GeorgeStorm]

Incredible work :)
Any chance of a before and after?

[ReverendMaynard]

I plan on re-introducing some easy carbs gradually over the next year or so but mostly sticking with the current program. This is a lifestyle change now more than a diet.

Thought I'd note that today marks the 100th pound lost. I feel like a new man.

Good info , so there is room in the OS for better clocks ???

what are you using bclk or multi in software ? or both

[Splave]

example for the 5.6 chip

boots 56x100, doesnt not boot 57x100 (blinking command prompt equals your max multi for the amount of cores you are using) so then you increase bclk till you cant any more so 56x101.1 then in OS it will go up to 56x101.3 etc :)

I like the gd65 revster, just make sure you have some good non-hyper sticks

[ReverendMaynard]

I has some non-hyper GSkill Pi Black 2000's....they alright? If not recommend some please :)
