Book Title

Memoirs of a Loser Holding An Ice Cream Cone That Just Wouldn't Melt...

Happy Hour Friday

so 5 days of near zero carb eating without exercise

belly is down about 1/2" and I am leaner, wearing these nice green pants without them hurting

what is truly shocking is how my appetite at night is so little, it doesn't take me much to be full, in terms of fat loss and being smaller doing nothing has done more than slogging at the gym - so I will continue this path and not beat myself up, just heal my metabolism and then put on muscle

so I am going for happy hour today in the city at Bacar, I need it and it should be fun

28th Day - 27 Day Assessment, thoughts and apologies

ok, so the last week has been really tough, so I haven't been able to post, sorry, but I have records.

After a refeed day on Saturday, I ate clean all week, including a total fast day on Tuesday.

Weighed myself this morning, took photographs, and took a rough tape measure across the broadest part of my middle - 44"

So, I think a big factor over the last month has been my personal issues. Normally, I am not a great sleeper, but the last month, sleeping 3-5 hrs a night with broken sleep cannot be good for your health and fatloss, but that will pass.

So again, starting stats

August 30

202.0 lbs
28.2 % BF
11 Visceral Fat
137.8 LBM

September 26

189.4 lbs (-12.6 lbs)
26.8% BF (-1.4%)
9 Visceral Fat (-2)
131.8 LBM

I don't pay attention to the last one as all my lifts are up in the gym. The LBM one is not the best parameter, neither is the absolute BF percentage but obviously I have lost a decent amount of weight.

Out of 27 days, I stayed on my low carb diet 21 out of 27 days. Two out of those days were actually true zero carb days.

Out of the remaining 6 days:

3 days were a lot of off-diet food (included in those 3 days is an evening of junk food with Sudip and Partha at Taxi's, so actually not 3 full days)

2 of those days were 'fat fasts', only fat in the form of ghee/butter were consumed at 960 calories one day and 715 calories another day

1 of those days (Day 24) was a total fast, no food, zero calories

So, I actually did pretty good. I was lifting a lot over the last month, but I think it terms of 'weight loss' I could have done better. Or, better explanation is that the creatine I started taking added a few pounds, as probably did the supplement Prime

Going forward, I am trying a different approach based on what I am reading at the zerocarbage website, although they are a bit too militaristic and loony.

A lot of folks there, on zero carb diets started losing fat a lot faster once they STOP exercising. It doesn't make sense, Charles, the moderator, has some thoughts on it, as he is ripped now, but started getting ripped once he stopped doing anything. Basically they say, zero carb with no exercise to lose fat, then lift/workout once you lose all the fat.

It's not going to hurt to try. So from tomorrow, meat only except for 'cheat days', like next Friday with beer and let's see how this no workout thing works. My next weigh in will be on Friday morning.

I took photos and will throughout the process. Shirtless and shirtless with those pants I now fit into. My plan is to eat just meat, fat, and water. No dairy or protein powders other than the super plasma protein which is beef based. I am going to try and eat the vast majority of the meat raw. Supplements will be Prime and Vat Attack (the latter I should get on Tuesday). I found a bottle of PowerFull that I will use till it finishes, just to use it up. In addition I will take 1 tsp of efas per evening meal, a scoop of Leucine, and Longevinex Advantage. I will be fasting one day a week on Tuesdays for religious reasons. If I get hungry on those fast days, I will just consume oil to kill the hunger.


Today I popped 3 PowerFull and 3 Prime 45 minutes before my workout.

I did a lot of dips, direct shoulder work, and biceps.

Dinner

1 lb Marin Sun Farms beef with organic spices (including 1/4 tsp organic cinnamon)
2 tbs Wilderness Family Naturals Mayonaisse
2 tbs super plasma with 1/4 tsp organic cinnamon

Supplements
1 tsp efas
3 Prime
1 scoop leucine

would have been 3 years today but I am still a hungover badass...

well, I am getting tired of this pity party, but it would have been 3 years today, but it's still 3 years since I met her, one of kindest souls on the planet

so I was hungover, but that didn't derail me dietwise

all raw

1.08 lb Prather Ranch Beef
4 tbs special mayo
1 scoop Naked Whey

total net carbs = 5 max

hung over

well, yesterday was not a good day diet wise

had a nice healthy shake in the am, lunch at BJs in San Bruno (turkey club/fries), then a chips/salsa/guacamole steak, etc... along with like 7 drinks

it was hard to hold together, depression finally kicked in

Monday, August 24, 2009

Moving out of Heartbreak Hotel straight into a pile of steak tartare...

well, my friend Colin helped me with the move today, it was brutal, not the move, but the feelings... I saw my angel (former angel to be exact) in the am... that was tough, she was beautiful as always

with the move out of the way, I zipped home for an early supper

1.1 lb Prather Beef tartare with organic spices and tons of special mayo
2 organic egg yolks
2 scoops Naked Whey

sipping on water now (but would prefer to be sipping on gin and juice)

Sunday, August 23, 2009

WHAT?!? they fit?!?

so I tried on these pants, the ones I couldn't wear just a few days ago, and they fit! not great, but I couldn't even button them, and now I can, wohoo!

Saturday, August 22, 2009

Sprinting and raw dieting with the Half Blooded Prince

so I woke up and another scoop of Naked Whey with a touch of raw butter

took care of some errands, picked up my parking decals in Fremont

then I sprinted, first time in a long time, and my first running in my Vibram Five Fingers!

it was great!

dinner was simple

a pound plus of Holding Ranch Ground Beef with organic mexican spices, cumin , tumeric with a couple of big spoons of special mayonaisse

ok, that was random...

started off the day pretty normal, a little naked whey and raw butter

took care of some bank errands

then our good family friends - Nitesh, Meeta, and their two great sons came by to take my mom out for her birthday... well, they asked me and said 'niet', didn't want to see anyone cus' I'm so friggin' broken... but I relented finally and met them at thai house in danville for an awesome thai meal, then some tea and before bed some raw colostrum, scoop of naked whey, and 1/2 a calzone

oops!

before dinner I popped a 'magic' and had about 24 oz of raw colostrum and FOUR scoops of naked whey, that stuff is expensive but it is delicious!

Friday, August 21, 2009

Big Changes... Broken Heart and Bigger Muscles

last night was rough, I moved out of my girlfriend / fiancee's ('ex' of course now) place... it was even rougher because I kinda forget how in love with her I am and how pretty she is (shallow, but o well, sue me)

well, I was fueled by a healthy meal before I went so I have that going for me

I started the Naked Cowboy whey

www.nakedwhey.com

it tasted delicious and then I had a pound of Prather Farm beef, complete with organic spices and some of the Wilderness Family Naturals Mayonaisse, down the hatch!

repeat tomorrow

Thursday, August 20, 2009

lots of food today because...

It was my Mom's Birthday

Uncle Yu's for dinner and Chow for dessert


oh yeah, did a little morning workout, progenex shake, ricotta cheese, vietnamese lunch and a bunch of raw colostrum... but that's a tale for another time

Tuesday, August 18, 2009

raw food and Third Eye Blind

I had a single meal of the same composition

all raw

2 organic egg yolks
0.9 lb of organic grassfed beef and a few spoons of wilderness family mayonaisse

yummy!

then I went to go see Third Eye Blind at the Fox Theatre in Oakland

Monday, August 17, 2009

first raw meal in a long time

for dinner last night I threw down 3 organic egg yolks, some Holding Ranch ground beef, and some of that special organic mayonnaise, awesome!

Friday, August 14, 2009

Week 1 Results, Discussion, Thoughts, and adjustments

well, with a mythical 'starting point' of last Friday, 07 Aug 09, I have some updates
first some stats

07 Aug 09

194.0 lbs
29.1% BF
10 (Visceral Fat)
130.6 LBM

14 Aug 09
193.8 lbs (-0.2 lbs)
28.7% BF (-0.4%) : -1.0 lb BF
10
131.4 LBM (+0.8 lbs)

I definitely did not lose as much "weight" as I wanted to. According to this quick snap shot, I lost just a pound of bodyfat and gained 0.8 lbs of muscle, so a tissue swap. However, this is just a snapshot. If the 0.8 lbs LBM is true, that is pretty cool. I do 'feel' more muscular

Things to improve on

Diet

Last Saturday was high in booze, specifically high in beer, that will be cut out

A lot of calories were consumed in the form of carbs on Saturday AND Tuesday

Saturdays will probably still contain a good deal of calories but must cut Tuesday carbs, although it is a vegetarian day I will need to fast instead or stick to protein shakes and chia seeds

one option is to consume a few tablespoons of coconut oil and turmeric for liver detox on those days

Consume less raw butter (perhaps cut all together on most diet days) and up coconut oil

Training

Since I am on Progenex - go to 4 day split
Back and traps and biceps (forearms)
Legs - Dumbell Squats, Leg Extension, Calves
Chest and triceps (forearms and calves)
Shoulders (forearms)

Lifestyle

As I not working, must cut out super late nights, lack of sleep is affecting me
As I am doing forex again, must throw in nap at least 5 days per week
throw out late night movie rentals after current 2 movies are done
mustminimize/eliminate late night TV

ok - shoot for better results next Friday

last night...

so it was my friend Colin's sister in law's birthday

we hung out at Palomino from like 630 to like 1030

I just had ice tea with lemon, came home and popped some Progenex SRG

Tuesday, August 11, 2009

Progenex Day 5 + Carbs

well, today is our vegetarian day... not going to go hog wild...

try to get in a lot of protein, low on gluten, maybe chips/salsa...

well - next 3 days will be single meal at night with just the Progenex SRG before bed

I feel like the new supplement is working, I am definitely getting stronger and shape is changing

Sunday, August 9, 2009

quick update...

Friday and Saturday were Progenex Pro Pack days

evening meal

2 quarts raw milk

I will take photos every few days...

I am going to only post when I get pretty badass though

Friday, July 17, 2009

Google calories...

yeah, so I had a free lunch at Google yesterday... I ate a lot, but most of it was decent

chili, shrimp soup, sandwiches, scallops, sushi hand rolls, and a green drink and coco/banana drink

preceded it all with a 'magic' and capped it with a Metabolic Drive shake...

Monday, May 18, 2009

eating lard is ok, but turning into lard is not...

going through some drama in my personal life, so the weekend was disastrous food wise... somewhat back on track today, have a wedding this weekend...

dinner was simple

6 organic egg yolks - raw
0.8 lb ribeye
5 oz mushrooms sauteed in lots of organic ghee/lard
1 tbs super plasma with organic cinnamon
1 tsp organic turmeric

Monday, May 4, 2009

but I don't want to use exuse to eat badly...

just trucking along

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

wedding weekend...

wow, so that was so much fun!

great wedding weekend!

my final weigh in before the event was 185.0 @ 24.7% (or so, though I was at 184.0 the day before)

keep trucking forward till that six pack

Thursday, April 9, 2009

almost 'magic'd...

well, was leaning towards having some carbs but thought better of it as I may go out for dinner tomorrow

so just a prime ny steak with organic lard, 'dessert' was a can of organic coconut milk with a lot of organic cinnamon

rare 3 meal day...

so we went suit shopping at Ted Baker in the city... family went out for dinner... I didn't cheat - but per request had 1 tandoori lamb chop, assuming carb count is next to nil

was still hungry, so at night had a small prime ny steak

during suit testing I saw myself in the mirror, though I am not near my goal of a six pack, and still have love handles, I was shocked that my stomach fat almost seemed deflated... weird

good but weird

Wednesday, April 8, 2009

was freakin' starving...

so I had a lunch instead of a dinner, actually drove back home to eat...

was craving fat, so I threw down 2 raw organic egg yolks, a nice prime ny strip, and a big tablespoon of organic lard to go with it... I am doing pretty nice with my diet... will go without egg yolks tomorrow...

might be eating out on Friday night...

Tuesday, April 7, 2009

sorry... I know it's been a while...

got back from Reno a few nights ago with the family...

back to eating clean

tablespoon of organic coconut oil
prime ny steak with organic lard

10 grams carbs
1500 calories

just to post numbers, 188 on parent's scale

Wednesday, March 18, 2009

once again... Success!!!

albeit a little earlier today though... comida finished by noon

total calories today = approximately 700 calories

4 EFAs in the early evening with a bunch of vitamin D (slowly getting better I think) then 1/2 lb of marin sun beef with organic spices and 4 efas

189.6 @ 25.7%

that's it, just wanted to post the numbers this morning, today should be practically identical to yesterday

Tuesday, March 17, 2009

back to low calorie and raw zero carb...

total calories today = approximately 700 calories

touch of evoo in the early evening with a bunch of vitamin D (sick as a dog)

then 1/2 lb of marin sun beef with organic spices
6 efas

good deal, this will be my meal for the next few days before my dinner out on Friday...

peeling it off - 193.4 @ 24.6%

so man, nasty nasty cold

fasted all day, picked up my girl, and no dinner with her, so I just broke down and had dinner with my friends Brent and Loren

popped a 'magic' and had a toasted pita with tons of hummus, little feta, and evoo

then had some chinese food - yummers!
rice, salt/pepper fish, beef stew, pork with dried bean curd, potstickers...

then popped a 'ruby' at the end

here on out it gets tough - I will do good, just you watch!

Monday, March 16, 2009

My girl is 30! Happy Birthday!

that's it, I love her and am very happy for her today

Prague, and the price i paid...

oh boy, just got back from Prague, yes Praha for my little bro's bachelor party...

it was crazy, beer filled, super fun, and bloatage maximus!

gain of about 10 or 11 pounds, up to 197.5 lbs...

ugh...

ok, got a month now to burn it off...

Sunday, March 8, 2009

zerocarbish

a little raw organic ground beef with organic spices
slab of ribeye steak - seared
topped with organic lard

I should do a repeat of this tomorrow

oh my head...

so yesterday, was how shall we say... filling...

breakfast was scrambled eggs with potatoes, bacon/sausage on the side with a tbs of super plasma with organic cinnamon, a coconut ladoo, and a chocolate peanut cluster, organic apple

late lunch of a lot of dim sum


had a bite of cake before going vodka tasting at Hangar One... that was fun

then went to some german place where I had a lot of food, beer, pork shank, schnitzel, chocolate souffle, etc...

then to a tiki bar where we had tropical drinks (I didn't drive home)

today is just workout and beef, then repeat tomorrow

Friday, March 6, 2009

great workout and meal

morning - dips and shrugs (140 lbs per side)

simple dinner

3 raw organic egg yolks
1/4 grassfed organic beef - raw with organic spices
3 shortribs - lightly cooked in organic lard

and that's it!!!

magic and ruby in da' house

oh boy, did I need those

bread/butter
potato soup
prime rib
few fries
garlic mashed potatoes
1/2 brownie/ice cream

then a few narcol ladoos at home

Thursday, March 5, 2009

mixed bag...

had a high protein breakfast because I crashed at my folk's place night after my brother's Ashirbadh ceremony

2 organic raw egg yolks
1 scoop Grow! with 1 tsp organic raw cacao
2 tbs super plasma with organic cinnamon

dinner is at Outback tonight...

I think carbs (probably a good amount) will enter the system, so I am going to pop a 'magic' before and a 'ruby' afterwards... if I don't eat carbs (not too likely), just a 'magic' ahead of time

'ruby' is a USP supplement called p-slin

Wednesday, March 4, 2009

I did it!

stomach wasn't doing too good... but I was able to stick with my eating plan, small small small, micro taste of mithai... not counting it...

but getting leaner!

ok, so maybe not...

fast I mean...

don't know why but I got a conscious of not eating... so I am just going to roll with whole foods and just have protein supplements tomorrow and off again on Friday before my weigh in Saturday morning

plan is to throw down 4 organic raw egg yolks and 1 lb of ribeye with a teaspoon of efas later in the morning for a late breakfast early brunch

tonight is my brother's Ashirbadh so I will be fasting at night... in case of disaster I will to a total fast on Friday (but that is not going to happen!!!)

Tuesday, March 3, 2009

not the day I expected

so I spent the whole day at a biomedical device start-up company

came home starving!!!

popped a 'magic' at 642 pm

started dinner around 727 pm

touch of unheated honey (like 1/3 teaspoon)
45 grams of organic sprouted brown rice - about 30 gram carb, sauteed in lard along with 1 organic scrambled egg, 4 organic egg whites, 1 cut up pork sausage
1 stalk organic celery
1 oz organic brocolli sprouts
1/2 lb skirt steak - seared
1/4 Prather Ranch sirloin - raw with organic spices
1/4 red onion - sauteed in lard
2 tbs super plasma with 1/2 tsp organic cinnamon

total carb count about 40 grams
protein count = 130 grams

maybe I'll fast tomorrow

reflections and great workout

the 'magic' makes me nervous, but honestly last year I got some compliments on it, when I didn't abuse it... now this Saturday will be excessive, but I will just 0 carb it on Sunday and Monday

so I just got back from the gym, I took 2 scoops of Jacked

http://www.usplabsdirect.com/jacked/index_launch.html

damn, I forgot how well that stuff works!

I did t-bar (healing shoulder yeah!) with 90 lbs and most reps with 100 lbs

a whole mess of dips

biceps - even 1 rep with a 70 lb barbell (ok, so that's good 4 me all right)

a little reverse forearm barbell raise with 40 lb barbell

very intense workout, best part was ending it with 10 dips!!!

now I feel Jacked!!!

did I mention I got into not one, but two size 34 pair pants over the last 48 hours?!?

not the best fit, but it sure beats not being able to even pull them up *lol*

Return of the 'magic' man...

so, day off from my client site today - actually got some errands done, got some singing practice in, and spent a little $ on vitamins...

I have decided to try the 'magic' again, except this time with discipline, meaning 30 to 40 g carb per day at my single meal time

also, in Prague, I want to minimize the damage

so my body felt worn out so I didn't work out on this day and had a tasty dinner

popped a 'magic' at 412 pm

started dinner around 455 pm

touch of unheated honey (like 1/3 teaspoon)
45 grams of organic sprouted brown rice - about 30 gram carb, sauteed in lard along with 2 organic scrambled eggs
1 stalk organic celery
1 oz organic brocolli sprouts
1/2 lb skirt steak - seared
1/4 Prather Ranch sirloin - raw with organic spices
1/4 red onion - sauteed in lard
couple tablespoons mexican sauce - 3 g carb
2 tbs super plasma with 1/2 tsp organic cinnamon

total carb count about 40 grams
protein count = 115 grams

Planning to have same dinner tomorrow, minus the mexican sauce

Wednesday, looking forward to a sprint session followed up with fasting

Monday, March 2, 2009

Rainy Sunday..

didn't get a great amount of sleep but I still managed a great workout

I popped 9 Morph and hit the gym

Dips
Calves
Shrugs (135 lbs/side), 7 sets x 5

I got those great stretch marks around the traps!

dinner was late, but varied and healthy:

4 organic raw egg yolks
organic greens salad with evoo/rw vinegar/touch unheated honey dressing
red onion
1/2 prime ribeye steak
8 mushrooms sauteed in lard
2 tbs super plasma with organic cinnamon

tomorrow will be a great eating day!!!

Saturday, February 28, 2009

Nice Saturday...

was up laaaaaaaaaaaaate last night, but I didn't eat anything at my buddy's house, just listened to Rush and enjoyed the soiree

woke up this morning, popped 9 Morph and hit the gym for dips, biceps, and shrugs

big meal afterwards, 0 carb

prime ribeye
2 tbs super plasma with organic cinnamon
1 tbs efas

hung out with the folks and came back hooooooooongry...

tried a little recipe cookin' action

1/2 prime ribeye - cut small with cumin, fried in lard
4 slices bacon
6 mushroom
1/3 small red onion
1 clove garlic

sauteed in groups, mixed in at the end for a little hash imitation, topped with 2 sunny side up organic eggs - pretty damn good

my estimation is about 10 net carbs

tomorrow will be a zero carb day, with ribeye steak and raw sirloin as my mainstays... looking forward to another workout - thinking dips, biceps, calves, shrugs, yeah... that sounds good

Friday, February 27, 2009

too damn hungry!

ok, let that GH train ride for 5 hours

1 organic raw egg yolk
1 lb prime ribeye steak
1 tbs super plasma with organic cinnamon
teaspoon efas

Sprint 8 revisited

how do you almost throw up, cry, and get complimented by a nice looking blond jogging down a hill?

easy, sprint as hard as you can up that same hill, heave, hate yourself, walk back down the hill, and do it 7 more freakin' times!!!

oh my gosh, that was so painful and awesome and exhilarating!!!

scratch the evening meal plan, just going to ride this growth hormone train!!!

went to Picaro in the city and I just kind of caved... I just wanted to eat normal, that's all... honestly I don't feel that bad, I think it may even help my fat loss and resolve, we will see

paella and bread and anchovies and sausage, chocolate mousse and creme catalan and a large orange juice, no booze, that was key

later had a slice of pizza and at home had yogurt, raw honey, berries and then protein muffins and an organic apple with cinnamon...

today it is back to the old same zero carb with no dairy...

Saturday, February 21, 2009

just got home!

wow, it is 330 in the freaking morning!

my dinner, well considering, I was with friends, not perfect but not that bad either, honestly, I am kind of proud of myself

I got a few compliments too, makes me want to work even harder!

dinner was luxurious

sauteed organic celery in lard
few sauteed mushrooms
sauteed asparagus with almonds
prime ny steak -rare

this was sooo good, my friends really loved it

steak was with horseradish sauce and anchovy butter I made...

had a big glass of red wine to go with it...

after in a bar, the owner bought us a patron so one shot down the hatch, like I said, not perfect, but not bad either, very different from days past

1/2 marin sun farms ground beef with organic spices (raw)
prime ribeye - seared rare, topped with organic lard
1 big tbs super plasma with 1/4 tsp organic cinnamon

so my buddy Colin bought me lunch, very nice of him

hamachi sashimi
tuna steak - seared
spicy tuna hand roll - no rice

I detected a hint of sweetness but I don't think it's a big deal
