Well, for those that are interested, here is my diet breakdown for my competition cutting...
I have 2 low carb days and 2 higher carb days(kind of like a refeed day). Chest Day - 185 gr Protein / 190 g Carbs / 30 g Fat Leg Day - 200 g Protein / 120 g Carbs / 35 g Fat Low Carb Workout Days - 200 g Protein / 85 g Carbs / 35 g Fat Off Days - 200 g Protein / 65 g Carbs / 35 g Fat Fat will spread out over my low carb meals. 60% of carb intake will be taken around my workout time. Cardio will be 3 times a week - 30 minutes of low intensity (treadmill) HIIT will be done 1 x a week for now on my off day. May up it to 2 as I progress. So, the fun is starting. I will try and post update pics as I progress as well.

Good stuff Chad. I'm curious as to the HIIT on the low carb day - with stored glycogen being the primary source of energy DURING HIIT, wouldn't you want to have some stored? I'm wondering if you won't feel lethargic, light headed or hit the proverbial wall? Also, why the lower carb day on leg day (for the same reasons)? I'd definitely want to fuel that workout. That's sub 1500 cals. I'd like to hear your thoughts on that. I like your breakdown - how much do you weigh? I have an idea on bf and I know your height, just wondering how much you weigh right now. How many weeks are we out (I didn't see when I scanned)? You're starting pretty low. Do you think you may be starting out a bit low to where you can't drop as you progress without inducing the starvation reflex.

Hey dude, how does that cissus work for you? I'd like to hear some experiences on it. Everyone that I know that has used it raves about it. I had headaches on it; not sure why, just one of those things (allergy, I suppose).

Yeah, I was kind of thinking of it being a low start as well. I may revise this plan. Do you think I should up just my protein more on all days or all 3 nutrients increased ?
Yes on the HIIT day, I will consume just about my total carb intake around the workout time.

Well after Boyd and I bounced ideas back and forth, my diet has been revised quite a bit. An example of the breakdown is as follows..
Leg Day- 200 g protein / 285 carbs / 40 gr fat - 2300 calories All Other Workout Days - 225 g protein / 155 g carbs / 40g fat -1880 calories Non-Training Days- 230 g protein / 120 g carbs / 40 g fat - 1760 calories I will monitor my body and see how it progresses and make changes when needed. My supplement schedule will stay the same.

and yes, this may seem a bit higher than what people would view as an all out cut, but remember this - we're giving him some room to work with. If he started out at 1500 calories, the SR (starvation reflex) would kick in by the 3rd week and his fat burning would be futile. I'm guessing that since he's been active, he should be burning plenty of calories and even with these numbers + his activity, he'll still create a nice caloric deficit while preserving precious muscle.
Nite, I failed to mention to do your measurements on a consistent day (like the morning after that low carb day) to see where you are. I have a feeling you're going to look your best on that day!!! Whip some ass!

I like the revised diet better Nite.
WHat I'm doing now is 2 days back to back around 130g of carbs on none working out days and no carbs after 7PM daily. The rest I keep it at 250gr of carbs with cardio 3x a week. Awesome Nite keep it going man!

Keep us posted about how you feel every 2-3 days (psychologically, physical). I think you'll feel pretty damn good for a while. Most people I've dealt with don't really feel the low carb pain, even when they drop to freaky low levels near the end. Vasille, I'm not sure of your size, but that's pretty low for consecutive days bro (non-workout days even, unless you just lay on the couch all day lol). You getting ready for a show or something?

Looks like you are lining things up Nite! I like Boyd's advice too. It will be nice to read how the diet and the training affect you. I have only seen the effects of pre-contest dieting, never read about someone's emotional state thought. Keep it up!
