Before & After
I started this journey on January 3, 2011. I was at 165 lbs, and 24.7% body fat. My waist measured 35 inches. On Friday, 4/22/2011, I was 152 lbs and 6.4% body fat as measured by DEXA Scan. My waist is now 28.5 inches.
I just finished a 2 month round of PAGG and am currently on a break from that. I plan on changing my workout routine in another month. I would like to gain more muscle mass; however, I am not convinced that I want to do Occam's Protocol. I can not justify a 3 inch gain in my waist for 1/2 inch gain in biceps. In the meantime, I am going to slowly add more protein to get a balance and work on a slow change rather than a "quick" geek to freak.

What was your method? SCD? What kind of stuff were you eating? Dang. Amazing work. I'd love to get even CLOSE to there before beach season in 8-9 weeks (that's beach season in Canada. haha)
- Thanks for all the comments! The main factor for me has been consistency. Every day start with 3 whole eggs, black beans and spinach. Lunch is usually roast, brocolli, stir fried with as many serrano and jalapeno peppers that I can tolerate.
- Dinner is a choice of meat (either lamb, buffalo or beef), choice of green (broccoli, asparagus, or spinach), and a bean (either great northern, or black). I also usually have a side of guacamole. Each morning I drink about 24 oz of black coffee.
- Throughout the day I drink about 2 quarts of unsweetened green tea. Everyday is the same with the exception of binge day, which I go wild. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I start each morning with kettlebells (75 and abs).
- Twice a week, in the evenings, I interval sprint/walk about 3 miles. Once a week, I walk the three miles, but I carry two 25 lbs dumbells, doing arm and shoulder exercises. Once a week, I do chest exercises at home with free weights.
- Morning kettlebells and abs are quick 15-20 minutes, but evening routines last 30-45 minutes. I just finished two cycles of PAGG. I am now off the supplements to see what happens for a while.
- I have added a protein shake mid-morning this week, unsweetened almond milk and rice protein powder (about 24 grams of protein and 3 carbs).
- One addition, my breakfast eggs, spinach and black beans also contains two slices of turkey breast.
kpartin Congratulations! Incredible results! I'd be interested in knowing what your week to week losses were.- I weigh daily and keep it on a calendar to watch for patterns. The first month was slow on weight loss. I think I was still learning. I would lose typically 1-2 lbs per week from Saturday to Saturday. Some weeks nothing. Since January only 13 lbs.
- I measure about every two weeks. From that I could really tell that I was losing body fat. My weight wasn't as much of a concern, I wouldn't mind being back at 165...I just don't want a 35 inch waist. I would like to maintain my waist at a max of 30 in
This sounds very doable. I am going to try and make a similar template for myself and follow it as closely as possible! Thank you!- How many beans would you typically consume in a meal?
- I usually consume about 1/2 can of beans in a meal.

Where you doing creatine?
- I have not been doing creatine. I am planning on starting it in a few weeks. I am going to try two products: Kre-Alkalyn 1500(Creatine) and A-AKG Powder (Arginine Alpha-Ketoglutarate) that were suggested to me.

Great result. I have been stuck at around 10% BF for the last 2 months; just cannot seem to get any lower.
Did you step down to 6% without plateauing at any stage? I think I have a similar build to you (I am 5' 10" and 145lbs), train regularly on a mixture of rings, kettlebells and Crossfit.
I have only been on PAGG for the last 2 weeks - no progress as yet.
- I started the SCD in January. I did not start the PAGG until Feb. 20, and I completed two cycles of PAGG. I have posted a weight loss graph under another post, however, I can not determine based on the timing, if my body just needed the adjustment
- to the diet or it was the effect of the PAGG that really started my weight loss. I do not feel that I really hit a plateau. I did try two weeks of the cyclic ketogenic diet, but again, I didn't really see the difference, so that is why I stopped.
I started the SCD only 2 weeks ago and was at 23.8% bodyfat when I started so this is very inspirational! Thanks for posting and for all the in-depth info.
really inspirational.
good job.
cheers

Thanks....the success is in the diet. I have exercised
all summer long, but my diet had been terrible and I have
gained body fat. Today was back to Day 1 of getting my body
back in shape!
