Cut Diet Cpinion

Any Opinions on the "Cut Diet" by Derek Charlebois?

[QuietBob]

I love it.
I posted elsewhere here, but I do kind of a hybrid of the cut diet and the Beverly Nutrition diet. Both basically confine your carbs to fibrous vegetables with a couple "re-feeds" during the week and get your body used to burning good fats for energy, thereby burning your fat stores for energy.
I've carb cycled, cut carbs etc before with good results, but with this type of diet (cut diet) my energy has remained up and I seriously think I've built muscle while shedding fat. As an example, I have lost no strength in my lifting, I'm still setting personal bests in some lifts, and I'm less than 2 weeks out from a show. I think I look better now than I ever have as well.
I highly recommend the diet.

I used it for last years comp. I had mentioned it to you before

[fit]

I ordered a couple of the Primaforce backbone stacks and it came with a bound copy of the updated Cut Diet...

Most of it is pretty basic, been seen before... sorta a ckd approach.

But I have to say I'm not sure I buy into the "eat this food first" order of eating... and I'm a little skeptical of the never eat protein/carbs together thing. But then I must remember that this is aimed at prepping for a show.

Bob? Did you foolow all of that? The specific order in which you eat, never cobime pro/carb, etc?

I believe I have now officially seen pros endorse every possible combination of macro and eating and claim it is the best. #smileydunno9gx#

Bob pretty much summed it up for ya! We have the book and I read it...VERY GOOD! I think you might wanna give it a try!

[RUBICON19]

It worked pretty well, but this year i am oing my own thing

[mrbeefy]

Thanks Bob, fit, Rubes....
I'll read over the E-Book...like some of the things I saw becasue it does touch on a few problems I've had.

Any suggestions or comments on the Cut Diet are very welcome

have a look at this bodyspace:

Marc is part of the Scivation team and he is using the Cut Diet to get ready for his next show.If you scroll down you will see what he eats on a daily basis

Not a whole lot different then the CKD diet.

[Tim Wescott]

Bob,what show are you doing.......I`m less than 2 weeks out also.

I tried the CKD diet Eric recommended, and I got great results...............just recently added more carbs because I had plenty of time between contests.

[QuietBob]

Tim,
The OCB Pacific Northwest States in Oregon. Remember, I'm a West-Coaster so all my shows will be out this way. The following week I'm doing the ABA/INBA Mr. Millenium in Reno (with my wife competing for the first time in bodybuilding!) I have a couple planned for late July and then one in September in Phoenix.

fit,
I did the food timing re-feed once, but don't really agree with it; what I remember about the GI tract in medical school doesn't really fit with their theory. I do, however, do the carb re-feeds twice a week. No, I don't follow it exactly, but I like the concept behind it. Yes, not a whole lot different than the CKD diet; I think the folks at Beverly Nutrition started using this type of diet many years ago and have had great success with it.
You can check out Beverly Nutritions web sit (and message board) for more info on it.

[Tim Wescott]

Best of luck Bob,keep us posted as to how you make out, and congrats to your wife,I`m sure it`ll be a great experience for her, and I hope she does great as well.

You`re doing as many contests as me...........and people call me crazy!! LOL

We`ll need #picspicspicsml7# also!

Am I misunderstanding drop sets in how they explain them in this routine when they say: "Standing Barbell Curls - 3 sets 8-10 reps with a dropset on last set to
total 25-30 reps".

I normally think of drop sets as starting quite heavy, just a couple of reps, stripping weight and moving down, etc.

The way they say it, do they mean use a weight where the third set will be difficult to get 8-10, then drop and rep from there to 25-30 reps? So the set/reps would be

8-10/8-10/25-30?

I'll go out on a limb here.

100 x 10
Drop - 75 x 8
Drop - 50 x 8

Total 26 reps

[TNA]

I'm actually starting this on Monday! Should be interesting.

[mrbeefy]

TNA!

I'm starting mine on Monday too!
We'll have to compare notes in our journals.
Especially since there is about an 18 year age difference between us ;D
