They're awesome, I use an Isobag, 6 meal bag. Comes with the tupperware and ice packs. As for meal prep and planning I cook about 3 days of food at a time. Ground turkey, and ground beef are very easy and fast to cook if youre pressed for time, along with about 8 cups of rice in the cooker. I can get my 3 days worth of cooking done in about an hour hour n a half tops. From prep to clean up. Mind you this is just for my mid day meals, not breakfast or my last meal of the day since those vary.

Not sure if it was mentioned in this thread or not, but has anyone tried Carb Backloading diet?

Can you explain in a nutshell what it is? I looked it up on Google but every page describing it was some long-winded BS article that seemed to never get to the point. Just summarize quickly.

First part of the day keto style diet, no carbs allowed. after an evening workout you eat protein and carbs for an anabolic insulin spike that in theory will to a job repairing the muscle and replenish glycogen stores.

Yeah.

Note: I did his other diet - Carb Nite - a few years ago with great results.

Prep fase: 10 days less than 30 gms of carbs per day to get into ketosis.

After that, backload (eat as many carbs as possible: pizza, burgers, ice cream, etc) after lifting. It's recommended to to workout during the evening/late afternoon and start backloading during the next few hours. On off days or days when you do cardio, you go back to fat/protein days (30 gms of carbs.) If you workout in the morning, you backload on the night of your off day prior to your workout morning.

my diet philosophy [was] for me to try every diet that looked interesting and/or appealing to me. IF was the one that stuck, combined with mostly a diabetic meal plan. i don't deny myself anything other than candies and soda, but i don't miss those at all and it wasn't hard at all either to cut them out. chocolate and alcohol have stayed but very much in moderation with an eye on my glucose meter. you won't get abs drinking alcohol though, fyi, unless you already have them.

was reading recently of the big diet businesses, weight watchers is #1 for fat loss, their diet is pretty solid, it's based on a diabetic meal plan.

my only suggestion is don't leave out fruit, preferably a variety. lots of talk about the vegetables but not enough about the fruit!



hah, hey girl, thanks!.........how u doin? :winkwink::pimp

I have a slight increase in carbs on my heavy lifting days (twice a week usually) -- but I've found that while doing ketosis, it's better not to slip fully out of it by having a giant amount carbs. I end up feeling like crap during the process.

I've just gotten through the ketosis flu and I fear having lots of carbs sporadically will spring me back into that shitty state. I keep my carbs moderate, and just enough to keep me in ketosis most of the time.

Lets go back to the rock, lets back to the rock.....

Buying some cod today. If it's good for The Rock, then it's good for me.
