Thanks for your response, what adjustments would you recommend. Keeping your carb intake around 150 daily, consuming the majority of your carbs post workout, carb load on the weekends??? Thanks again.

Bob when you have time please respond. No need for great detail, but general answers would be great. Thanks.

Bodyopus is a great diet (and a great book). Overall I didnt/dont find it too difficult to stick to once a person figures out what they can eat. The weekend refeeds as scheduled in the book, IMO, are totally impractical for nearly everyone. Doing a 24-36 hour refeed during normal waking hours will be plenty of time to pack in a load of carbs and moderate protein.

Rest in peace, DD.

I have a majority of my complex carbs before 3pm. That consists of my oatmeal and maybe some whole wheat bread at breakfast, baked potato or brown rice around noon. Pre-workout is something like a banana or apple and 2-3g that are in my shakes. Post-workout is where the bulk of my simple carbs lie in a whey/maltodextrin shake. The last amount of carbs of the day might be my whole food meal in the pm with green veggies. 150g/day is pretty simple to follow, gives plenty of energy (especially when ECA is included ), allows you to burn plenty of fat, and I think you'd see the results you're after given enough time, ie. 12 weeks. You can tweak it however works best for you.
