I see somebody post something similar, but basically, say you go on a night out of drinking and the next day you do not manage to stick to eating well, or if you go away for the weekend and do not stick to backloading, what is the best course of action to get back on track? Do a mini prep phase (like 3 days) where you eat under 30g of carbs and then get back on the backloading?, or just get straight back on the backloading?Sorry in advance if this has been posted before.

A lot of people here will recommend that if you fall off the wagon to do the 10 day prep phase again. Since most of us don't know how efficient you are with carbs, this is probably an easy and safe way to get back in the grind. Alcohol in general makes it a little bit different.... From what i've heard so far... i wouldn't be consuming food after a night of drinking and def not eating carbs!
Alright, thanks for the quick reply, It wont be a regular occurrence for me just something I wanted advice on for when it does happen.

Would you say this goes for density bulking and/or strength accumulation as well? I ask because I have a weekend bachelor party in vegas at the end of this month. I think I could do my best to stay on ULC during the day. It would obviously be hard to avoid drinking at night. When I come back should I just hop back into my normal CBL routine?I watched a video recently where Kiefer talked about alcohol while backloading. At the end of the video he basically said you're better off just saving it for a couple nights a month and at that point he would just go all out. As opposed to someone who regularly drinks.

That would be "this guy" who always post things like that. LOL! Anyways, I didn't fall too far from the wagon on this past weekend, but I am a perfectionist and if I am not exactly on the "said" program then I feel like I failed (which is not a good thing due to stress and this can have a significant impact on CBL). Bottom line, I just got back on track again yesterday and still completed my first BL night of the week, just at a lower amount of carbs and more cleaner foods. Still high glycemic though. Hope this helps.

There are a few factors to determine this....How long have you been on CBL? Body type? How bad is bad eating?Did you stick to any of the guidelines?If you haven't been doing it long (less then a month or so) and didn't follow the rules and went completely overboard I would start over. Use it as a reminder on why you should stay atleast to the basic guidelines.

honestly i prefer the all or nothing approach.... If you are stuck eating a certain way that makes things less enjoyable then i would just say the hell with it. You gotta live!

If you're someone who regularly likes to drink and it takes you out of the CBL routine I would suggest a different style of eating

Yeah I don't ever drink. I only drink when I am in a situation, like the one I listed in my previous post, where it is somewhat unavoidable.
Damn… I feel like a minority here. I go out on weekends (maybe Thurs/Fri/Sat) and usually consume quite a bit of alcohol. My new development though is to strictly drink vodka waters and maybe stop drinking an hour before bar close. I also only drink on nights that I've lifted. I avoid the sugary bar shots that murder you in the morning (jag bombs, cherry bombs, kamikazes, irish car bombs, etc.) When I get home I eat a little, drink tons of water, and drink a whey isolate + leucine shake. I'm 22 years old and I'm still gonna go out and have fun with my friends, it's a fair trade off. My hangovers are a LOT less brutal too. My primary goal is to gain muscle with a secondary goal of losing some body fat to get cut. That being said, I think someone with these goals could get away with drinking more so than someone strictly trying to lose fat. In the morning it's right back to ULC until I go lift again.
