need a solid pre contest diet plan
need a pre contest diet that starts about 12-16 weeks out. Best diet I found was a pale diet. high protein fats zero carbs except for every 4th day for 24 hours. want to shred of 35 lbs of fat. that will put me at 190 or so. one issue I have is grazing. I also may be starting g to become insulin resistant. which is weird because I am always craving sugars. that isn't cool.

Never heard of the "pale diet"?
That shred 35lbs of fat sounds like what I need about right now myself

Re: need a solid pre contest diet plan
I'm a fan of carb cycling.
High Carb Day:
Carbohydrate- 2 to 3 grams per pound of bodyweight
Protein- 1 to 1.25 grams per pound of bodyweight
Fat- as low as possible
Low to Moderate Carb Day:
Carbohydrate- 0 to 1.5 grams per pound of bodyweight
Protein- 1.25 to 1.5 grams per pound of bodyweight
Fat- 0.15 to .35 grams per pound of bodyweight
Even the top Crossfags don't use Paleo.

I found my body boats horribly on carbs of just about any kind. I used something like paleo but my carbs were less than 25 gms a day for 3-4 days while about half my 1800 calories came from protein and other half from fats. on carb day I kept protein levels but reduced fat to compensate for extra carbs. over a 4 month cycle, I lost 35 lbs of fat and put on a 1 lb of muscle. I was using 500mg of test e and 500mg of eq. it was brutal I posted progress pics on elite fitness when I did it in the log section.

Paleo, isn't just about meat, it can encompass anything that isn't processed and is a natural product of the environment such as nuts, wild plants, and such. I mainly eat meat, never raw either. and I find carbs generally mess me up. like last night I had a lot of carbs and tonight what is coming out of my ass must have died last year.
I like the idea of paleo, but I modify it to include veggies with low sugar count.
