Hi Everybody,

just started my 1st Blueprint run!

Famine Day 1

Meals:

Breakfast:
- 1 Apple
- 1 Kiwi Fruit
- 1 Orange

Daytime:
- 2 Apples

Post Workout:
-small Mix of Broccoli and whole green Beans with some butter

Workout:
Did the first workout as described in the Blueprint, added one superset for Legs

1 Leg Squat
+
Step Ups

as I didn't feel much after the Leg/back Superset.

Also added some Geranium Extract for Increase in cAmp and Appetite Reduction, is that okay?

What do you guys think of the diet, okay or too radical?

Feeling good at the moment. Muscles are feeling bit shaky and "empty".
Definately expecting some slowness in my thinking that day.

You didn't include your weight, but do try to stick with the 8x bodyweight with calories. That 5th day is no picnic and you may want to try and get all the allowed calories in, as it has a pretty rough workout included. Your body will be shocked if you follow the program as outlined, so no need to cut out more calories.

I can't comment on the supplements used, someone else with more knowledge on the topic will have to chip in. Good luck and just remember the benefits you reap after this nuisance of a week is well worth it.

Hey Stef,

Looks like we are in the same boat, I just started famine and I'm on day 3. The first workout was pretty easy, I thought, but todays kicked my ass lol. So what are your goals for your run? I'll be following your log bud, goodluck and make the most of it!

First, welcome Stef!

Also added some Geranium Extract for Increase in cAmp and Appetite Reduction, is that okay?

A. Stims are OK. Do check with your doc first though. Always best to be cautious about such things, especially during Famine. Check first with the doc - always.

What do you guys think of the diet, okay or too radical?

A. A bit radical. As the poster above said, stick to the BW x X guidelines. The goal isn't to starve, simply to deplete muscle substrate. A mild caloric/certain macronutrient deficit plus the training gets it done!

Feeling good at the moment. Muscles are feeling bit shaky and "empty".

A. This will intensify as time goes on. Above all else: HEALTH FIRST! Can't stress this enough. If you ever feel sick, off or just "not right" discontinue. Especially that third workout.

Play it safe, and please err on the side of caution. I always do... and I'm the guy that wrote it!

Great work so far

Thanks for your answers guys

Hi stef!

Just want to tell you that I have been hungry for the first famine day only. I don't know why but after that, it was kept under control.

English is not my first language either. Hopefully everybody can understand our meaning

That's good to know, thank you bp

The hard part is OVER. Train to Gainsville leaves tomorrow. First day of Feast

Hey, hows the first day of feast going? pretty bad ass huh? Hope you gain everything back and more when you get back to the gym

Hey friends.

Got my 5th day of famine right now.

Yesterday was day 4:

Breakfast:
- Oatmeal
- some nuts
- 1 Orange
- 1 Apple

Daytime:
- 2 Apples
- Grapes


Post Wo:
- Big Soup of different vegetables
- 1 Orange

Workout:
Wanted to do some cardio but then there was hot iron group fitness scheduled for friday night, so just jumped into it.
Thought this could be a good thing, as the goal is to empty out all of the glycogen stores.
Was kind of a hard session for me as there were so many reps with those small weights, left the class all wet.

Couldn't wait to get my 3rd workout in famine this evening.

For feast i got BCAA, Creatine and ebol ready.
Will load with BCAA the first 3 days and then maybe change to protocol #1.
What was your experience with the 3on/3off loading protocol? Worth the price?
And all of those foods i have put to my list those weak
I also plan on visiting my favourite chinese buffet tomorrow!

Nice work so far man! Grats on making it through Famine - Now it's time to FEAST!

You made it!

Congrats again and now it's time to FEAST! Have yourself a BIG ole' steak tonight or your favorite dish.

EXCELLENT work!
