I've been operating on 2350-2400 calories, which is pretty close to maintenance level. So I need about -15% calories than I did before warrior. My waist is about 29.5 inches right now at 126 lb. I think that my chinup improvement is legit. I did 48 yesterday. I made a change, substituting more orang...

I ended up not doing the carb cycling. The reason is that my waist was slightly growing again, up to 30 inches. It seems that 2500 calories may still have been too much. I went down to 2350 calories a week ago, and my waist is back to 29.75 inches. My body still seems to be adapting. When I did chin...

After another week, I'm starting to think that this 2400-2500 calorie area is my maintenance level now. If it is 2450, that would be -12.5% calories from 2800. I'm still figuring it out. I'm changing things up a little. I'm simplifying the foods. Strawberries and butter are unnecessary. I don't want...

does this "extreme" diet have any potential rewards that you're going for? (I'm guessing it's to look younger for longer or live longer?) My primary reason is that I want to be more physically attractive. My top priority is lowering my body fat. I also want bigger muscles. There are other reasons a...

I completed the transition this week. Everything is within a 5-hour window (15:30-20:30) instead of 7 hours. And in the first 3.5 hours, I'm taking only 14% of my daily calories (juice during work). And so 86% of my daily calories come within a 1.5-hour window (19:00-20:30). I have no trouble taking...

Yes, I think that I should try to tighten the window. I can move the pre-work meal to post-work, and then have the big second meal about an hour later. I can experiment with how long I wait to start drinking the OJ at work as well. For now I'm going to move to a 5-hour window (15:00-20:00). Hypothet...

Last week, my weight was pretty consistently 128.5 lb. This week, it has been in the 127-128 lb range. My waist is still 29.5 to 29.75 inches. I tried 2600 calories per day this week, and I still feel like it isn't enough. I'm hungry. My maintenance level was about 2800 calories pre-Warrior, and it ...

I'll update all of my numbers each week in order to identify any changes. Very scientific. Again, I'm trying to gain muscle mass/strength without adding belly fat. Calories/day: 2520 (experimenting here, needed 2800 pre-Warrior) Fat: 186 g (67%) Carb: 102 g (16%) Protein: 110 g (17%) Weight: 128.5 l...

I've been on it for a week now. I'm doing the 17/7 split like I planned, eating at 13:00-20:00. Around 12-14 hours into the fast, I may feel emptiness in the stomach, but usually only if I'm thinking about food. My day: (06:00: awaken) 13:00: strawberries & coconut oil; fish & tomato [breakfast, 20%...

Yes. I've added more calories during this transition period in order to stop any more weight loss. I'll figure out my new caloric needs after I've been fully on the warrior program for a while. I'm assuming that it will be less than before warrior. So I've been analyzing my eating plan some more. I ...

I'm going to change the plan a little bit again. I'm going to try 17/7 at first instead of 20/4 and see how it goes. I'm trying to optimize when/how to take carbs/fats/protein relative to the workout schedule. The eating window is 13:00-20:00. (06:00: awaken) 13:00: strawberries & coconut oil; OJ [c...

Thanks. I'm giving myself a hard deadline of one more week (9 April) to complete the transition to the 20/4 window. Right now, the only meal I eat before 18:00 is lunch. The problem is that lunch consists of about 900 calories. I used to take in most of my calories in the morning, and my body still ...

The fish is the only thing that makes it difficult for me to compress everything into a few hours. It's the most filling. And so it makes sense for me to shift fish to the end of the night. I also want to stretch the eating window out to 3.5 or 4 hours. (06:00 awaken) 18:15: prunes, macadamia nuts 1...

"Freezing mayhaw fruit prior to juice extraction increased juice yield regardless of the method used in extraction. The average juice yield obtained from previously frozen fruit was 157% higher than when using fresh fruit."

Your ideal goals are absolutely doable. That's encouraging to hear, thank you. Its good that these foods are easy to digest (very low fibre) and nutrient dense. I looked at my nutrition spreadsheet this weekend, and I noticed that I was a little low in thiamin, magnesium, copper, and manganese—soun...
