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.

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.

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.

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...

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

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.

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?
