Hi kingb123, i have been off the board for some time now, to answer your question i am not low carbing anymore, but still i try to watch what i eat in term of sugar and process foods.

I started up almost 2 years ago at 231 pounds, i decided that i add enough of the way i looked, i have been weight training for a very long time started at 13 years old in my basement, joined a real gym at 16 and add to stop training at 29 cause of a lower back injury.

I am now 32 and just started training heavy again last month, with some pain again and posture adjutement that i still need to work on.

I used low carbing cause its the best diet out there for losing maximum weight in record time, no matter what anyone will tell you.

I do plan to use to diet to cut up next year again but right now i am training heavy and my weight is back to around 195 pounds, a bit of love handles of course but i can live with that.

This is my current split and has been working very well, my strengh is up on all the lifts.

I train in the morning on an empty stomach, i use ephedrine when i train, works fine for me i take 2 pills and thats it, dont abuse and you will get great results.

After training i go to work there i eat my egg sandwish every morning, 2 eggs, whole wheat bread , cheese and mayo.

At dinner i usually have chicken, tuna or whatever the cafeteria has for dinner that day, sometimes its spaghetti, lasagna etc etc.

around 3pm i usually have a whey protein shake and at 7-8pm i eat protein with carbs.

This summer i got back into bodybuilding bought a big whey protein bag 10 pounds and add 3 shakes a day, and was eating very well, guess what i gained fat HA.

You will do fine if you stay around 2000 calories a day, this is also very good to gain quality muscles and no fat.

Drinking water of course is recommended LOL and of course a good vitamine and mineral supplement is always good.

I just finish using creatine too so i guess that during the next month or so i will be losing the water i gained from creatine and become less soft LOL.

If you have any questions just ask.

I will try posting new pics soon.

Merry X mas to all and happy 2005.

thanks a lot!
