I stalled on IP after having good results for 5 months. I was close to my goal and the scale stayed stuck for about 5 weeks. Because spring break was looming and after speaking with my coach I went into P2 and P3. I lost weight in P2 finally after being stalled for so long (about 4 pounds). Then I gained almost 4 pounds in P3 (those carbs!). But once I went to P4 and being on vacation I went down to one up pound. All about 2-3 pounds from my goal weight. I've been in P4 for about 2 weeks and have remained steady. My intent is to go back to P1 and lose the last 5 pounds which would put me below my goal weight but allow me to fluctuate 3-5 pounds. But, I will attest to shaking it up and adding in new things reset my body to allow me to continue to lose. I have not added in exercise yet either! I figure I will do that after my P1 stint.

1. In the absence of carbohydrates and reduced fat intake the body will use protein to produce glycogen. 2. The above process puts a lot of pressure on the liver and the kidneys. 3. Excess protein is not good for anyone. Even professional bodybuilders know this. 4. Ideal Protein is a moderate or "sufficient" protein protocol. It aims for you to have between 0.5 and 0.8 of your body weight in grams of protein per day. 5. In order to repair muscle your body needs protein AND an insulin response. That insulin response is triggered by the blood glucose level being raised. Therefore carbs ARE necessary. The difference is in choosing the RIGHT type of carbs - complex ones - and combining them with a protein source to slow the rate at which the body absorbs them. 6. Even the Atkins diet, which traditionally followed these misguided principles, has now decreased the amount of recommended proteins & fats AND increased the amount of carbs. We don't live in the dark ages, there is no need to emulate it. Bloggers have the right to post anything they see fit, it doesn't make their opinion correct and certainly doesn't need to be propagated on a board which is already following a very macro specific diet already. I see no reference to any professional qualifications either in the medical or nutritional fields. |
