Wow! Great work! Love those jacked-up guns! We can start our own buff girl gang
Especially since you have a hot body to show off those form fitting clothes
Re: New clothes dilemma
I'd get them tailored down. When you get to your goal weight then splurge for a super-spiffy new suit! BTW, congrats on your awesome progress!
Re: Occam's Protocol Exercise Substitutions?
I only use the Smith for Aussie chin-ups and hanging my towel LOL! I guess you have yourself a self-experiment to do. The key is balancing enough weight and slow enough cadence to provide MED ben...

Re: Gain Muscle and Lose Fat? Occam's + SCD
In my self-experiments, I've tweaked regime that works for me that allows me to pack on some muscle with minimal fat gain. It's a hybrid of OP/SCD with a bit of Leangains thrown into the mix. It...
Re: Leg Press - 10 reps too much?
You're fine doing just 7-8 reps at 100kg for now. Over time, you'll be able to up that to 10. Once you are able to do 10 reps at 5/5 without failure then you up your weight to 110kg. Make sure yo...
Re: 4 week progress :)
Congratulations Walking is great exercise! Good luck on healing that torn rotator cuff. OUCH! Keep up the great work!
Re: Does anyone besides me in the forum like to consume alcohol?
LOL! Most of us aren't going to fess up when we've gone on a bender on this forum. I'm sure more than a few folks have the occasional booze up, myself included For the purposes of SCD, keep in ...
So jealous! I miss the farmers markets up here. However, I do get to hunt all the local meat, bird and fish I want. Can't complain too much. Along...
You're welcome! I love the natural sweetness of roasted veggies.
Re: Terrified by Occam's Protocol
I am doing a hybrid of OP and SCD. For my workout day and the day after, I'm eating OP diet. The rest of the time I'm doing SCD with a casein shake at the end of the day. I have upped my calories ...
Re: Minimum requirements - forgotten veggies
Great entry! I aim for 8-10 cups of mainly cruciferous or leafy green veggies per day. Half of that would be raw. I do a huge cook-up 1-2x a week of roasted, or grilled and sautéed veggies to la...
Re: My first anniversary of slow carb! 5-15-12
Wheeee! Congratulations! You've been an ongoing inspiration and role model for all us here and I'm sure you're a beacon of awesomeness in real life! Keep up the fabulous work, my darling.
If I feel like it. I toss in some bodyweight exercises (pull-ups, dips, push-ups) depending on how I'm feeling.
Re: Occam's question regarding the exercises...
I sometimes add the reverse drag curl and a barbell row. More muscles get worked with a the barbell row over the Yates.
Re: Soreness from workout A... proceed to B?
Are you waiting 2-3 days between workouts? OP has 2 days of recovery in the first couple weeks and the moves to 3 days of recovery between workouts. If you're still sore, take an extra day off. ...
According to my digital calipers I've shaved a touch off my bodyfat % this past month. I'm up a couple lbs on the scale. So, all in all, I'm going...
Re: OP w/o fat gain... Is there a compromise?
I'm on a hybrid OP/SCD regime. I'm at my BF% goal so now I'm looking to pack on some muscle with minimal fat gains. I've been doing it so far for only a month but I'm getting some decent results. ...
Re: Check-in Time! -- April !
Hey Jones, It's still pretty wintry up here in the arctic. We just got another dump of snow. Certainly nowhere near summer! It was a hectic April for me as well. I spent half of it traveling for w...
Enjoy the biking weather. We're still getting snow up here. Good luck with your certification.
keep up the great work! 2 1/2 dress sizes. WOW!
Woohoo! Happy monkeys all around!
You're doing awesome! Rock those smaller pants!
Right on Akane for hitting the 120s!!
Thanks for the update! Sounds like you're getting a good handle on balancing OP with SCD!
Re: Slow Carb Philosophy
For me it's been about recalibrating my body and it's biochemistry so I intuitively know what to eat what is best for it. Before I was all over the place due to sugar and grains. I was hungry all ...
Re: Are tomatillos allowed? They are actually a berry.
You don't need approval from us to eat or share anything They're fine in moderation. According to NutritionData they have 2 grams of carbs, one of them a sugar, the other one fibre. Which is the...
Share away!
Thanks darling!
That's right. 30 grams minimum for breakfast. 20 grams minimum for all other meals.
What 20 grams of protein looks like
Here's a link to a page that shows what different sources of 20 grams of protein looks like. It's a good visual aid for those wondering if they are getting enough. Note:Not all of these options a...
The kettlebells, planks, myotactic crunchs, cat vomits are all good for building a strong core That's all I used 2-3x's a week to get to the flat ...
Thanks! That photo is actually of my arms before I started OP. try doing some one handed kettle bell exercises like snatches, rows and presses.
Re: Leangains SCD Hybrid
I'm experimenting with a similar hybrid. It seemed to be a natural progression. I started just carb cycling this month along with Occam's Protocol. This last week, I started IFing. Like you, I'm...
I worked out yesterday. I managed to get in around 2000 calories. Making some good progress for strength gains. Arms are getting a bit snug in fitt...
Re: Does sugar make you shaky, anxious, or increase your heart rate?
As a reformed sugar junkie I can vouch that sugar does different things to me now that before. Before, I would get a brief rush of energy and then it would level out and I would crash if I didn't ...
Re: Planks...for how long?
I started out with 30 sec planks on front and sides. I slowly added 10-15 secs. Now I do 2-3 minutes each side. I only do one set. I do side star planks. For my front plank, I hold it for 2 minu...
Re: 75 days - after and before
You're doing great! You look 'sleeker' What's your goal? I agree with you on the inaccuracy of the Omron scales. Water retention does a wonky number on the gadget. I would opt for fat calipers...
So far so good on OP. The only challenge is getting in enough calories. Stupid problem. According to TF's calculations, I should be aiming for 2400...
Re: 23 days of torture ...
That's far too much exercise. Especially for someone who doesn't like exercise. 2-3x's a week is all you need. Really, trust me. You certainly don't need to be doing kettlebells twice a day. D...
Re: Elbows hurt when doing Kettlebell swings? Female perspectives?
Does she have prior injuries? How does her from compare to this video Is she chicken winging? Her elbows should remain close to her body throughout the exercise. Her arms should be straight but...
Re: So close...yet so far!
You're doing great. You don't need to go on Last Mile if you don't want to. Keep in mind that you are probaby also gaining muscle so I would consider looking at a tape measurement goal. if you wa...
I hear you. I was so not a happy monkey going through the Last Mile without beans and lentils. I have found that flax seeds are a great way to get...
i wasn't planning to cut grains permanently at first but after couple of grain free weeks, I was convinced. I'd rather live a life free of the blo...
Re: Need thoughts on my Workout regimen!! Too much?
If you are still progressing at a rate that you like then you're doing fine. The tape measurements and calipers as your main tracking tools. The scale will not be able to show the whole picture e...
