Success!

Finally, I have found a regime that works for me. It is called the Cyclic Ketogenic diet.
Being in my mid 40s, my metabolism is not what it used to be. That sucks. I have done my complaining about the unfairness of it all. Whatever. It just means I will be more entitled to be proud of my six pack than most. You are 20, born from skinny parents and have a six pack? So what? I earned mine. Yeah…when I get it. Still, I have dropped four notches in my new belt and that is significant. I have lost 30lbs solid pounds so far and have reduced the fat percentages by a full four points. What is the percentage now? Nonya bidness, LOL.
Here is the deal. You keep carbs below 40 grams a day for all but 36 hours a week. I choose to pick from 6AM Saturday morning to 6PM Saturday night. I workout four days a week. Mondays I do legs, Tuesdays I do back and biceps, Wednesdays I do chest, shoulders and triceps plus floor sweepers. On Fridays, I do the whole body, trying to burn the glycogen stores to zero, then turn on the carbs. Like I say, I am very please with the results so far. Before wheels up for the Philippines, I am going to have to buy all new pants if I keep going. Cool!
I hope to be back here in a month, and then seriously start scaring 32″ waist jeans soon.

Hey, little bro. Get me a routine. But remember my back!

First thing is go on the web and read all the free information concerning the Cyclic Ketogenic Diet (ignore the ones for bodybuilders, they do not apply to you.)
Once you get comfortable with that, and sticking to the no carbs (or very very low carbs and only from green things like string beans and brussel sprouts are two I like), then kick up the physical activity to walking increasingly long periods of time first thing in the morning; morning walks boost the metabolism.
Start with this first. Have you seen a doc or a chiro about your back? I cannot remember what you told me.

I should have said, comfortable with sticking to no carbs all but 36 hours out of the week. In those 36 hours, you can have what you want.
