I like Victor's site and all but you can't grow 10 lbs. of muscle in 12 days...
First pic = heavy d-bol or testosterone (some wet compounds)
Second pic = trenbolone + masterone (dry compounds)
He is smoking his ass. I can't take his site seriously anymore.
To be fair to Victor, he has never claimed to be natty. He even wrote about the steroid regime he is on.

Here is what I have substituted that helped a lot for me personally:
Quinoa (more protein) vs Brown Rice / WW Pasta
Low Fat Vanilla Flavored Almond Milk (30 calories per serving) vs. Milk
Regular Cheerios (oat based w/ no sugar) vs. Normal Cereals with Tons of Sugar
Stevia (0 calories) vs. Sugar
Hot Sauces (0 calories) vs. Fatty Salad Dressings / Mayonnaise / Sour Cream....
Whole Wheat Tortillas vs. Normal Flour/Corn Tortillas
Mustard (0 calories) vs. Ketchup
Black Pepper vs. Salt (I just feel better when I don't eat salt)
Coconut Oil vs. Butter
Vodka Club Soda vs. Sugary Mixed Drinks / Beer
All great tweaks but the last one itself is key for any larger guys who have to keep the weight off. I drank a lot of beer the first two years of college and simply cutting it out helped me stay trim. If you love beer because "that's what men drink," cool story guy, start drinking whiskey on the rocks. 0 carbs 0 sugar last time I checked.
Still 70 calories for one shot. Stop worrying so much about macros and focus more on the caloric deficit.

doing IF right now... it's a fucking chore to get 200g of protein daily
I'm having a hard time too. What are you eating?
Right now everything is caotic because of my crazy schedule.
Generally I aim for 2x protein shakes for a total of 100g protein daily, and roughly 1.1-1.25lbs of protein from meat (that computes to about another 100g).
If has been working pretty good so far. We weight fluctuates daily, but I dropped 15lbs pretty fast, and a LOT of that was fat.
A year from now you'll wish you started today

Just started cleaning up my diet and tracking calories/macros. With you boys on the protein thing.. hell of a lot of food to hit my daily calories + 200~ grams of protein. Wish tuna didn't have the whole mercury issue..

My current regiment:
-Intermittent fasting some days 14 hours, some days 20+. Fast harder on your off days from lifting.
-HIIT tabata with burpees 5-6 days a week. Only takes 4 minutes a day. Extra treadmill at the gym if I'm feeling really motivated.
- Heavy compounds lifts (dead, squat, bench, ohp, weighted chins) + minor accessory work.
-Avoiding carbs as much as possible but get your fiber/roughage. Veggies are good and necessary. Whey powder to help hit protein numbers.
- From a mentality standpoint, I make myself desire being hungry. That's when I know the fat is coming off.
-Also, never plan a cheat. Life will spring enough of them on you.

Well I think the whole thing I'm doing is working. Based on my tracking I've lost 5 pounds in about a month. I guess it's about a pound per week. This shit just takes time. Not sure if it's harder to lose the fat when you're skinny fat or the fat when you're a fat ass.
I'm constantly increasing in strength at the gym, so hopefully by keeping protein high despite calorie deficit I'll at least maintain muscle mass. It's amazing how much day to day variability there is in weight. Can be up to 2 lbs.

There are a lot threads on the forum already about losing weight, but I'm specifically looking for a method to shed those last persistent ~5kg.
I've had success with the slow-carb diet a long time ago, but the weight loss tapered and plateaued.
To this end I've found a diet that seems to be agreed upon by 3 sources, suggesting 5-6 meals spread throughout the day. These meals are also supposed to follow the "slow-carb" structure - no carbs, mainly protein, fat and veges, with one cheat meal per week.
If you have Tim Ferriss's 4-Hour Body, it's under the chapter "The Last Mile".
It's mentioned in Brandon Carter's ebook - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzg5jdZjb94
And recently Victor Pride wrote a blog article - http://victorpride.com/how-to-go-from-fa...n-8-weeks/
What I want to know is if anyone else here has tried this diet successfully, as a forum search didn't yield anything specific.
If I do decide to follow this diet I'll need to work it around my hospitality schedule, as i'm often working random shifts that span 12-4pm and 5-11pm.
Any advice appreciated.
Want 6-pack and want to keep it - go keto.
No ebooks required.
No meal plans.
No calorie counting.
No schedule.
Just don't eat any carbs. ANY. NONE.
This will get you pretty decent results in 8 weeks, especially if you never did it before.

Keto isn't going to get you leaner if you overeat. Total calories matter.
You can achieve the same result without keto, with better gym and mental performance with carbs. You just have to eat in a deficit. In order to eat in a deficit, you need a good idea of how much you're eating in a day/week.

I'd like to see you overeat on keto. It's really tough job.

It's very easy if you like eggs and cheese...
I like Keto as a diet though. I'm low carb, and often Keto by choice.

Nuts and peanuts also have a ton of calories and could throw off a dietary plan. It's not hard to blow your defecit just having a small snack on those.
If only you knew how bad things really are.

The one thing I am not doing is walking any appreciable distance. I think I need to add this to my daily habit. It's just a real pain in the ass to walk 1 hour in the morning in the winter.

What's the appeal and stress of having a six pack?
That quest can lead you up the wrong course. Are you trying to be a physically fit and healthy man, or impress someone else?
I ride a bike 8 miles a day, juice 2-3x a day, throw some weights around 5x a week for an hour or so, and don't down a bag of doritos at night.
No need to stress about everything else.
I'm 6' 210 and built like a rock. My shoulders are broad and commanding, arms bulging out of my shirt, and thighs packed tight. I command a heathy respect. I've got some belly fat, and who cares. No girl has ever bashed my body in the last five years. I've certainly had most, if not all girls compliment my body, however.
Point is - eat well, exercise well, and stay consistent for a year. The results will be obvious. You really won't think too much about this shit again.
