Hello

[Sean.]

This board looks wicked, everyone from IFBB pro's to newbies like me lol. I'm wondering about Bodyopus (I've done it with great success), instead of waiting every 5 days to Carb up, can I Carb up every 3rd day instead? I know I'll be just going into Ketosis and then getting out of it just as quick, but can I lose the fat just as effectively? I understand the whole Leptin refeed issue, but cutting Carbs for 2 days and then Carbing up be of any benefit?

Thanks for the warm welcomes, it's really appreciated! O.K, this is how I get my protein, any suggestions lol....

Welcome Sean.

I think you need to do the 5 days (minimum) for "that system" to get the benefits. I also like to rotate carb intake for 5 days - 1st day very low carbs/high protein, next days: increase carb/reduce protein - keep caloric intake the same, for four days. I don't believe I go below 200-250g protein on the high carb day. I don't think this works any longer that "several" weeks. Seems to help kick metabolism up a bit.

the Ultimate Diet

The original program by DuChiene was something called the Ultimate Diet.
This was a 10 day rotation with training specific to each phase (deplete, load, build).

I've used the Ultimate Diet a number of times for shows, and wouldn't use anyhting else. I think the BodyOpus thing was set up so that people could eat and drink on the weekends, and is a big step backwards.

If you're serious about getting lean while retaining muscle mass, the Ultimate Diet, based upon my experience, can't be beat. It will work better using AAS, but still works without.

If you do a Google search on it, you can probably find it somewhere still.

You can do anything, doesn'tmean it will be as effective.
I've used Bodyopus a few times, but I get sick of all the fatty food after about 2 weeks and I can't keep it down.

If you want to do more frequent days, then you should use insulin to get into ketosis quicker - 3IU every 4 hours of Humiln R should see you in ketosis within 8 hours without any sides and with you only feeling miserable for 8 hours instead of 2 days.
