Cheated on diet

[thym43]

Damn it man. 9.5 weeks to show, just broke down. I was throwing the football with my son and got all shaky and light headed. Went inside and just needed to eat so I started with a peanut butter and jelly (light jelly) sandwich with a glass of soy milk, then Cheerios with whey protien, then a turkey sandwich, I couldn't stop eating. Feel kinda stupid now. No real bad foods (well maybe peanut butter) Diet just wore me down some. This ever happened to anybody??

Sounds like you went hypoglycemic to me. I find if I let this happen I end up doing the same thing as you. I usually get to the point where I am dizzy.

This is actually what I aim for when planning to hit up a buffet so I can eat more.

LOL. yeah, I imagine you would be a monster at the buffet! It is incredible just how hungry you get when this happens. its a very uncomfortable feeling too.

So as I am still new to cutting, bulking is much more fun and easier!!
How do I keep this from happening again? especially as I calorie deplete more as I get closer to show.

I always go to the same Chinese buffet, and they definitely know who I am. It's gotten to the point where they bring me my bill after one plate and they don't bring extra water or napkins unless I hunt someone down to ask for it.

trick really is to eat many small meals every 2-3 hrs really. I was able to avoid it even when doing a keto diet running 20 grams or less a day of carbs.

I thought thats what I have been doing. Maybe lost track of time, it was 100 degrees out there maybe I just burned everything I had much faster than usual. I'm right @ 2500 and it has honestly been a struggle, must admit though it's beginning to get a little easier, Broccoli and cauliflower are my friends

Low Carb.

I agree that low-carb diets keep my blood sugar more stable and my hunger in check.

How much water do you drink all day? Also keep some carbs in your diet (unless keto diet) through the day and cut them out after around 2 in the a/noon. But you need to drink gallons of water also. It will get your body used to dealing with water more efficiently and make dropping excess easier and aviod dehydration. BTW your little cheat probably did you more good than harm. Also Peanut butter is not the baddie here.......Cheerios, now there's the one you could have done without.

Thanks oldfella. Damn diet just wears on you after awhile especially as i am around food all day (I'm a Chef) spoke with another bodybuilder today and he asked why the hell i was restricting so much so early. Didn't think i was but i don't know my body that well for this contest stuff so i get nervous I won't make weight and cut everything. Hopefully after this first one i'll get a better handle on it. You guys (and Gals) have helped alot , just listening to me whine. I appreciate it and hopefully i'll do well enough to post some contest pics.

Peanut butter is wonderfull isnt it? I would of done the same if I was you, so my trick is not to keep peanut butter in the house. But you cant do that because you have kids. Mind you so do I but hes still on breast milk

I find that Eca keeps me control my appetite and drinking black coffee and green teat as well.

LOL. I once saw on the the show cribs on MTV how a professional football player drank a lot of breast milk everyday. They showed a refrigerator that was stocked full of the stuff! He mentioned he had a lady that supplied him. I think she was acting like a wet nurse!
