[Caino]

Hey guys here isnanlittle pickle for me, i basically eat already how the prep phase is, shit load of veggies and fats protein etc, all im not doing is fasting in the morning, now before i start this prep phase do you think inshould smash some more carbs a few days earlier that way i get more out of the prep? Also i have gone through thos whole thread and not one person has spoke. A out booze! I tend to have a binge on every second saturday night with vodka soda waters 60kcals per drink, now, is this going to fuck things up!?

Alcohol yes will "fuck" things up. Pretty much won't gain muscle, fat loss will halt or be very difficult, probably look horrible the next day and feel like crap for a while as well. Personally, if someone is "dieting" why would anyone ask a question in regards to drinking. Normally it's look not looked upon as an "ok" thing to do without consequences.

Alcohol may or may not impede fat loss, it is a highly individual thing.  Try it out and see how you do.  However, I would drink only on backload nights, as per Kiefer's suggestion.  Also, I wouldn't binge because it can destroy you testosterone for up to six days.  Just drink to be social (like 5 drinks or so) and the damage will be very minimal and if you are under 30 practically nonexistent.  THe only alcohol I would avoid is sugary mixed drinks (beer is fine) because the fructose will be out of control.  Whenever you backload that night it would probably be best to consume low fat and non sugary carbs to minimize the fat storage that will occur.

Thanks for the advice man! Im 23 bout 150 lbs and yeah i only drink vodka in soda water which is not sweetened nor has sugar, and i zing it up with fresh lime! Any tips on the prep phase?

If you are doing low carb at the moment, I would actually recommend going a few days high carb just so you can use the delta chart.If you've consistently been very low (>30-50), I would just go ahead and backload now.

basically everything i eat is green veg and greek salad accept this morn which was oatmeal because i thought i would try and put on some weight before prep phase lol good idea to carb up before orrr??Sorry to be a pest promise i dont do this often, but im starting the prep sunday do you think i should smash down some more carbs rather then my usuall veggies and greek salad so there is a bit of a difference and i actusllyLose some weight and have a difference on the delta chart??

one day till prep phase, just seeing if anyone out there is has had the same situation, would it be wise to try and throw as much water weight on and eat junk before so there is a difference in the Delta chart??
