Hi, OC dump of Jayce and Cassius,, last one was done using art breeder but with it heavily edited by me (changed the sizes of his nose, eyes and lips from the base I made in artblender lmao);; Drew his hair, piercings, beauty mark and scars;;

I don’t know why I keep redesigning Jayce;;; for some reason I’m never satisfied with him? Even though he’s my fave;; Atm, the biggest change I made to him is his height;; he’s back to his original height which is 175cm instead of 160/170cm Also I gave him back his old personality (The personality he had in his first conceptualisation;;) Kinda snarky and snappy but is actually soft around people he cares about?? Yeah;;

Carb Backloading Diet

I've been doing the Carb Backloading diet for quite some time now and am happy with the results I've seen.  I've done both the "strength accumulation" (fat loss, maintain/increase strength) and "density bulking" (increase weight with little to no fat loss) versions.  With the strength accumulation version, I went from 258lbs down to about 242lbs over a couple months, with little strength loss.  Currently, I am on the density bulking version and from 242lbs, I am now up to 256lbs.  And this time around, I feel like I'm carrying less fat than I did before when I was around this weight.

I will continue to carb backload for the next few months and then will switch to the fat loss version in the early spring.

I wanted to jot down what I eat for a given day.  Since I am doing the bulking version, my non-gym days are similar, but not quite the same, to my training days.

Just a heads up... this diet may not be for every one.  It pretty much goes against what we may all believe to be a good training diet program.  I was a skeptic at first, too, but thought I would give it a shot.  I read the book from the author (http://carbbackloading.com/) and decided to give it a shot.  So again, yes, the following diet plans are going to look crazy, but they seem to be working for me and others.

Diet plans in follow on posts...

Carb Backloading Training Day Diet - Bulking

Let me preface this by saying you may need a basic understanding of carb backloading to understand the reasons for consuming certain foods/drinks at certain times.  For more info, check out http://carbbackloading.com/ .  After being on the diet for months, I've made tweaks to it to suit my schedule and tastes.

Within an hour of wakeup: 2 cups coffee, 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, ~15g of whey isolate protein, 5g of creatine monohydrate, 400mg of caffeine

Mid to Late Morning: ~30g whey isolate protein, 1/4cup raw almonds

Lunch: 8 - 10oz of chicken, spinach, broccoli, mushrooms, olive oil, almonds.  The goal here is to eat a good amount of protein, fats, and vegetables.  You want to limit your carbs to less than 30g.

Mid Afternoon Snack: ~30g whey isolate protein, 2tbsp almond butter

30mins Before Training: 1.5cups coconut milk, ~35g whey protein isolate, 5g creatine monohydrate, 400mg caffeine.

Intra-Training: The book describes the use of an intra-training shake consisting of protein and other items.  I have stopped taking this shake...don't remember why.

This is where we start slamming down the high glycemic carbs!

Post Workout: 25g whey protein isolate, 30g casein protein, 5g creatine monohydrate, 5g leucine, 120g waximaize (fast acting carb source)

Dinner: Double Cheeseburger, Large Fries, Bowl of Ice Cream or MilkShake, 30 - 40g of some candy.

Before Bed: 40g of casein protein, 90g waximaize (fast acting carb source)

This is one example, but I follow somewhat the same diet each training day.  Obviously, I'll substitute different foods, but as long as I follow the rules, I'm alright.  For example, for dinner, I will also do a steak with a large baked potato, and still add in the ice cream and candy.

Carb Backloading Non-Training Days - Bulking

Let me preface this by saying you may need a basic understanding of carb backloading to understand the reasons for consuming certain foods/drinks at certain times.  For more info, check out http://carbbackloading.com/ .  After being on the diet for months, I've made tweaks to it to suit my schedule and tastes.

Within an hour of wakeup: 2 cups coffee, 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, ~15g of whey isolate protein, 5g of creatine monohydrate, 400mg of caffeine

Mid to Late Morning (optional): ~30g whey isolate protein, 1/4cup raw almonds. On non-training days, if I can, I will often only eat a handful of almonds, or even skip this meal altogether.

Lunch: 8 - 10oz of chicken, spinach, broccoli, mushrooms, olive oil, almonds.  The goal here is to eat a good amount of protein, fats, and vegetables.  You want to limit your carbs to less than 30g.

Mid Afternoon Snack: ~30g whey isolate protein, 2tbsp almond butter

30mins Before Training: 1.5cups coconut milk, ~35g whey protein isolate, 5g creatine monohydrate, 400mg caffeine.

Dinner: Double Cheeseburger, Large Fries, Bowl of Ice Cream or MilkShake, 30 - 40g of some candy.

Before Bed: 40g of casein protein, 90g waximaize (fast acting carb source)

I still carb backload on my off days because I want to fuel up for the workout the next day because my training sessions are intense.  Also, since I am bulking, I want to make sure I keep feeding my body to help it recover and grow.

This is one example, but I follow somewhat the same diet each training day.  Obviously, I'll substitute different foods, but as long as I follow the rules, I'm alright.  For example, for dinner, I will also do a steak with a large baked potato, and still add in the ice cream and candy.
