Starting Round 1 of BP on Monday. Looking for some support as this whole diet(mainly famine) thing is very new to me. I try to eat healthy but the calorie cutting is out of the norm for me. I will be running ebol, cbol creatine, and tbol trib . Any suggestions on Supp schedule will be appreciated.I am currently 184lbs and my resting HR is 55.

I think for famine the general rule of thumb for supps is keep it to the bare minimum - multivitamins, fish oil. No adaptogens, t boosters, creatine, etc. Lecithin granules are suggested....

Famine diet tips from me... eat lots of fibrous veggies and absolutely no meat/protein powder lol

Just get through that part and I'm sure someone else will come along with a dosing scheme for your other supps

Thanks for the Info. I'm going try to keep my protein intake at a minimum on Famine. For protein I plan on sticking with mostly nuts, and an occasional yogurt. As for supps on the famine, Im only going to take the multi vitastack. This contains fish oil also. Ive got the dosing recommendations for ebol, so im mostly looking for ideas about the cbol creatine and tbol trib.

Starting the 1st day of famine. I'm keeping track of my calorie intake and will post all the details tonight after my workout.

Good luck on your run!

Couple tips to make it more bearable: Save the majority of your calories until nigh time and metamucil works wonders to keep you full. I always took a serving before bed and it kept the hunger away.

I'm trying to space my food intake out throughout the day. Just now through my 2nd meal. Im going to eat 1 more time before my workout and then save the rest for my calories tonight. Going out to eat with the family so I plan to pig out on salad w/o dressing. Thats going to suck.

Day 1 of famine is in the books. My RHR this morning was 58 and my weight was 180
Here are the foods that I ate- I munched throughout the day with no particular meal schedule.

Diet
Multi and fish oil tabs
-cup of grapefruit juice(200 cals)
-banana(100cals)
-powdered greens(2 servings-100cals)
-orange 87 cals
-1/4 of almonds(135 cals
-cup of rasberries(65 cals)
-broccoli(30 cals)
-cup of pineapple(83 cals)

Hope to keep my diet free of any animal protein (other than dairy) from here on out. I will outline my lifts in just a bit. I cant wait to feast! Im fairly lean already so this is killing me!

I was very fatigued at the end, my guess is due to the lack of protein. I didnt eat the chicken until afterwards. The strength that Ive built was still there but felt like a beginner w/ the amount of fatigue that I felt. Looking forward to Wed workout. With the help of Rob I hope to be able to tell after this workout if I'll need to continue this phase. Im a bit of an ectomorph, even though my weight usually stays above 180(im 6 ft), so this stage stinks! But I trust that its for the greater good!

Day 2 is in the books. This morning my resting Heart rate was 67 up from 58 on day 2. Im starting to really feel the Alarm state. Here was my diet from day 2.

I now understand why the 2 days rest between workouts are needed. My body is absolutely SMOKED! Very sore this morning (day after). I may play pickup basketball tonight, but im not touching weight until Thurs.

"I made the executive decision last night to go ahead and start the feast today. Last night I went ahead and did workout #3 of famine....."

Damn fine decision making my man..

"I now understand why the 2 days rest between workouts are needed. My body is absolutely SMOKED!"

That same sweeheart of a body won't lie to you either. Listen to her and hold on tight.

Women like that are hard to find...
