Hooboy. Gonna need a whole lot more info than that to figure out what’s up. I’d have to guess, based on your name and the short post, that english isn’t your native tongue but do your best to spell out everything you’re doing/eating and when and the folks here will do their best to help you out. That’s a long time to have been doing this to not see anything so obviously something’s not working. 🙂
I am 52 years old. Work as a CFO. A typical day for me si to stand up at 7. One cup of coffee. At 10:00 breakfast, usually two boild eggs. 12:00 lunch, chicken breast or two chicken legs, fried salmon fillets or similar. Drink 2-3 cups of coffe during the day. 16:30 weight lifting in the gym, heavy weights for one hour. After training protein drink with isolate whey protein, banan, orange djuice and water. Dinner at 19:00 no carbs just meat or fish, vegetables and fat sauses
Just taking a gander at what you’re eating, it doesn’t look like you’re taking in any/barely fats – do you have this stuff broken down into macros? Fats are muy importante (very important) in regards to CNS. Be careful of the carbs in your banana and orange juice too.
About 140-180 gr pr day.
I lift for example in bench press from 150 lbs up to 250 lbs and down again
PyramidWhat is your diet history like? Were you on another diet before Carb Nite? Also what do you usually eat for your Carb Nite?
Have you tried lowering your overall caloric intake? You’re taking in a good number of calories, especially with those ranges, if you happen to take in 180g of fat and 180g of protein you’re over 2500 calories – and then throw in some additional for carbs. When I started out at 258 (end of 2014) I kept my fat below 175 and my protein below 150 – and barely had any carbs and I’m sitting at 221 at the moment. The body needs to be in some sort of deficit to lose weight/fat so you might consider watching those macros more closely and reducing those ranges. You could also try flip-flopping your macros and go higher protein and lower fat. Different things work better for different people. Speaking of, do you do any HIIT? Might try adding that for a day or two after your Carb Nite to help get rid of your glycogen.
I was on a high protein diet last summer but quit in july. After that i was just on a normal diet eating to much.
On Carb nite i start with sweets, gum for example. Cake, good dinner with potatos or rice or pizza. Some sweets in the evening after dinnerMaybe i should try to lower my caloric intake and go down to 160-170 gr fat and protein down to 140.
Reduce carb intake to absolute minimum on carb nite. Maybe just one banan or similar. I might be very
sensible for carbs.
I have not tried to do Hiit exercises but that could also be wise efter carb nite.
I exercise 4-5 times a week and split my exercises into to 4 catagories. Chest, Back, Shoulders and legs and finally armsMaybe i should try to lower my caloric intake and go down to 160-170 gr fat and protein down to 140.
That’s what I’d try first were it me. Depending on how that goes for a couple weeks, I’d flip-flop my macros if you don’t see results.
Reduce carb intake to absolute minimum on carb nite. Maybe just one banan or similar. I might be very
sensible for carbs.Not sure I’d reduce carb intake to anything like what the word minimum implies – but again, were it me (and this is what I do) I’d be doing four distinct spikes every two hours of around 125g of carbs. Start out low fat, and add the fatty stuff in later at night.

Yep, couldn’t hurt to try to knock out some of the glycogen right away.

Check; remember, working out too strenuously can have negative effects on this diet. Don’t go hog nuts wild and try for Mr.Olympia – get a good lift in but you shouldn’t be utterly wasted.
Drink plenty of water throughout the day too.
Hopefully ibob will post back up, he’s brilliant with this stuff.
