    Hey new here, i learned about CBL from a guy who posted on it over at AM. I am still a bit skeptical but in the grand scheme of this whole endeavor being and experiment i'm game anyways 🙂I actually did start this last Friday and trhough Monday by by mon night i was feeling bloated again and i was making really good progress with the cut i was on. I also felt extremely weak and tired when it came to my afternoon workout.I decided to try this further down the road, say after beach weather. it seems like there is a lot of experimentation to get the number and type of carbs right when back loading and i just don't want to risk my progress thus far on my cut.Typically i hold water pretty heavily by the end of the day. I wake up looking great but carbs seem to really make me hold water, not necessarily a bad thing on muscle but it also extends my upper gut quite a bit, maybe lactose -i dunno haven't tracked it down specifically. Anyways i can easily go from 200 upon waking to 210 ~ 215 by bed time. I like how it fills the muscle out but not the effect on the belly.I guess my one big question at this time is, what carb sources have you noticed giving you a lot of distention and bloat in the gut?Otherwise any advice for when i do start this up again would be greatly appreciated.Thanks muchBat

    Oh the bloating….hate it. Probably gluten? Or possibly lactose intolerant too? Try going a week without any gluten, i.e. grains, breads, etc, and try it once to see if that might be the problem. Glad you made it here though.

    Agreed on Gluten and Possible Lactose.Also, sometimes excess fiber during the back-load can bloat some people up.

    Cool, i will quit gluten then if no difference i will try cutting dairy. I haven't bought the book (yet). Going on vacation in a week, so at least another 3 weeks before the book and trying to cut all dairy.thanks for the quick replies

    Well I still haven't really stopped the carb back loading. I workout at 1:30 and. Y the time I get home from work I find that I have an insatiable craving for carbs, even while on diet pills. I guess the effects of the Oxy have well burned off by then. I am trying to adjust and hold out for the sugariest carbs right before bed. I am still losing weight, that is great. Not used to the weak feeling I am getting at work out time. Hope I get used to that.

    What are you eating pre training? Feeling weak could be a sign of not eating enough fat

    Eating 4 or 5 eggs and chicken, beef or sausage and 2 teaspoons coconut oil for breakfast around 9:00 am. 11:30 am  no carb protien shake, green veggies (broccoli cucumber, fiborous carbs). Pre workout 1:30pm 0 carb creating and coffee, teaspoon of coconut oil.

    Oh fish oil 3000mg morning also. Was doing flax oil but recently read that it spikes estrogen. So dropped that.
