Oakley's Diet and Training Log

6/3/25
Fasted Weight: 188.4lbs


Since I'm big on fad diets, I'm giving the "Sugar" diet a go. Just curious to see how I feel/look compared to my typical steak and egg diet. Yesterday I at as much fruit as I could put away until 6:30pm and then I had a new york strip, (6) whole eggs, and a glass of fairlife FF milk. Overall my mood was better for sure.

Woke up 1.5lbs up this morning. Not hungry at all but I know I need to get some fruit in me so my hunger spikes. I look tight this morning and ab veins where popping. Definitely a good look. And I know it is too early to see all the carbs in me. So I think it's going to be a cool experiment.

After doing some more research on FGF21, I'm going to go 48 hours without protein and fat. Wish me luck. :ROFLMAO:

Quads tonight!

Well, the fruit bit me in the ass. I must have has a bad piece of fruit during the day yesterday. I'm thinking it was from the fruit platter I got at Sams Club for lunch. Toward the later afternoon, I had this stomach ache that was intense and persistent. It wouldn't let up. I had quads last night and thought it was going to be an issue training, but luckily it wasn't. As soon as I was done training, it came back with a vengeance. Couldn't sleep, ended up throwing up twice during the night. Fuck me. Tried eating some fruit this morning but just couldn't really get anything down.

My plan was to wait until 6 or 7 tonight to have steak and eggs, but I ended up cutting the fast early and had some protein around 2:30pm. I feel a bit better, but I can tell there is still something in my stomach that just won't pass. Hopefully tomorrow I'm good.

Last night during quads I kept going hypo after my last few sets. Crazy with how many carbs I had leading up to that workout.

Today has been much better. Whatever was in my stomach seems to have passed finally. I "sugar" dieted in the morning, and then had a normal in-n-out high protein/fat lunch and steak/egg/milk dinner. I'll push the sugar phase a bit longer tomorrow and see how I feel.

Progressed on incline today so I'll up the weight next session.

I ate A LOT of food yesterday. Yesterday was the first day I've noticed my metabolism ripping. My hunger was high, and I kept feeding the machine. Typical sugar diet until about 5:30pm where I ate (6) whole eggs in ghee, and a NY Strip. Two hours later I was soo hungry, I ate another (6) whole eggs in ghee and another strip steak. :ROFLMAO: Half a pound up on the scale this morning.

Now that I'm seeing the metabolism benefits, my plan this morning was to sugar fast all of today. I'm still stuffing my face with as much fruit, juice, sorbet, and I added some starches post workout, as I can, just to see what the scale does in the morning. I'll get some progress pics tomorrow morning to see if I'm leaner at all with the scale staying stagnant during the week.

Was really happy with progress pics this morning. I compared them to last weeks, and I was shocked. There really isn't much, if any, difference between the two. I've eaten a disgusting amount of carbs the past week and I'm just as full as I was eating a strict carnivore diet. I thought there would be a big difference in fullness, and there just isn't.

Weight was very stagnant all week. Yesterday was the first day I ate starches. I had 200g of carbs from white rice yesterday afternoon. All other sources have been fruit and sugar. Up a pound and a half this morning.

Tomorrow my family and I are going to San Diego for my sons 9th birthday. Will be back this weekend and I'll reassess my diet depending on how much I enjoy myself. :ROFLMAO:

I fell off the face of the earth. Stupidly, I let myself get out of my diet groove. I ate like a standard American for a good 6-8 weeks and obviously no good came of it. I trained as normal throughout the last couple of months but something came over me middle of last week. I had an urge to get back into eating properly and training with intent. Goal for right now is to get some fat off before pushing growth. It's sad looking at my June 9th update and seeing I was in a prime spot to rebound. I'll get back down close to that, and I'll grow like a weed.

I wrote myself a diet, and a new training program, and it has been going better than expected:

High Day
271P / 507C / 35F

Medium Day
272P / 303C / 71F

Low Day
274P / 154C / 90F

Training is a PPL split with the goal of training 6x per week. Going through the first PPL cycle, I needed a rest day before hitting push again because I wasn't recovered. I guess I need some time to get used to the increase in volume. It has been rewarding actually feeling substantially sore.

I'll get my wife to shave me and I'll get some updated pics in here.
 
Finally got around to taking some pics. Left is two months ago at 189.2lbs on a high fat diet, and right is today at 197.6 on a carb cycling diet. Only been on the carb cycling diet for just under two weeks but it has been going well. Dropped from 203.2lbs to todays low of 197.6lbs. You can see how dry I was on the high fat diet which I really like, but I'm much fuller with carbs in. I've only had one high day since I started the diet.

Plan is to get bloods done ASAP. Once they come back, if everything looks good, I'll step into an offseason phase.

High day today (271P / 507C / 35F). I'll have a free meal with dessert tonight in place of one of my meals.

Got bloods done this morning. Sensitive E2 always takes a week which sucks, but I'll keep on this fat loss diet till then. Once I see how my bloodwork looks, I'll decide if going into a trt phase, or a blast, is the better choice. Let's pray for high gear and food! :D
 
Fasted Weight: 197.0lbs

Weight is up 0.2lbs from last week but I'm clearly leaner in my lower back and abs. Win. Last high day was a week ago. I'm sitting on my thumb waiting for bloodwork to show up. I'm happy with where my body comp is, so if everything looks good, I'm ready to start eating.

Alright, I don’t really do this, but I need to write this out for my own sanity and accountability. I need to fucking fix my mind.

I had a good weight drop before my bloodwork came back. Was down to 195 and ready to roll with the bulk. Made my diet changes by adding 100 carbs on the high day, 60 on my medium day, and 30 on my low day. So with that bump, and going to two high days a week, I figure I’ll be in a small surplus. Will run it and monitor body comp and what the scale does for the first couple weeks.

Started yesterday with a high day with the plan of replacing my last meal with a cheat. I’ve done this my entire bodybuilding journey. The problem is, I can’t be trusted with anything that’s not on plan. Like always, I went as hard as I could during my cheat. My stomach was the size of a beach ball.

This is a mental thing that I just can’t shake. I have a full blown eating disorder. If I ever want to actually get big, I need to figure it out.

I did this my entire first bulk. And I did this when I worked with Justin. Justin was big on eating the free meal so I would stick to the plan the other 33 meals for the week. Well I get the idea, but what I would do, is eat until I was sick, and then have to force feed my meals the next day. That’s not productive and led to serious gut issues during my time with him. He was happy with my body comp at the end, and wanted to keep feeding me to grow, but I literally couldn’t eat clean food anymore. I was distended 24/7, sick to my stomach looking at my meals, and didn’t want to get off my ass to go train. I couldn’t do it anymore. Not Justin’s fault at all. I was a bad client by taking the “free meal” to an extreme that fucked both of us.

Back to yesterday… I went to bed feeling terrible. Woke up this morning feeling terrible. I was still distended this morning so I decided to skip meal 1 and 2. It’s pretty pathetic and funny to start DAY 1 of my bulk off the exact same way I fucked my last one up with… Makes no sense. Like I said, it’s a mental thing I need to get rid of.

I’m not sure what to do about it. Obviously I could just cut all free meals or anything off plan out. I’m a foodie, so that would really suck for me. I’m thinking of maybe eating my five meals and giving myself 1000 calories after meal five to have a dessert or something I’ve been wanting all week.. I’m not sure how to go about it because a “free” or “cheat” meal is a no go for me.

I’m sure a lot of you guys don’t understand the addiction thing. It’s not that hard to just have one cookie and be satisfied… But if you know, you know.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Hope you guys enjoyed my fat kid diary entry.

Me - I would simply cut all free meals.

You - if you need the mental break then plan the "cheat" meal to avoid the issue. I think the alternative you suggested is a reasonable way to go about it. You limit the damage by planning ahead of time to deviate so much and no more, and you measure it and log it as you would any other meal. Maybe make it every tenth day or every two weeks marked on the calendar, as well.

Obviously, it is not just the extra calories from the one meal that is the issue, it is the messed up digestion and the after effect on you planned meals the next day. This sabotages your goals in more than one way.

Agreed 100%. The after effects of binging wrecks me.
