HiPaCC :: The Dietary Revolution

Thanks for reply James much appreciated mate.
 
think i'll leave the post WO whey for the time being then as fat loss is main priority for now, i went for stc after reading the other forum it seems to have some pretty good reviews.
couple of things i want to ask though.... firstly i've recently started a new program at the gym which has me doing full body WO rather than split as in the HiPaCC. i've been getting some good results already so do you think this will be ok or should i change to split training? 
also after the resistance training is it best to keep a moderate pace rather than speeding up a bit more? just i really like to push myself and find it dificult to maintain a slower pace if i feel i've got more in me

How long have you been on your full body?

When you say 'moderate pace', what do you mean?  During weight training or cardio?

Hi James,

I've just started this up again, and just wanted to ask about what you'd advise to help flavour meat and vegetables ?
I usually have to put something on it, as it being plain will make me want to kill myself 

I've also started re-reading it to understand it a lot more, so apologies if it's already mentioned further in the ebook.

You could use stock cubes - like Oxo maybe.  Or a range of herbs may help

Cheers.
I hope you understand, I just find it hard not to sling something on the food these days (old age???).

Glad to be back on it, day 1 has gone well, just need to stock up on some sups & vits.

Sure I understand.  You're just not hardcore enough

At the moment, yes that is true !

Well I've lost 1Kg, despite not being in full swing at it yet, I always find it takes about a week to adjust to new habits.
And first BBQ's of the year, although only a bit of carbs but probably too much of everything else!

The worst thing has been at my temporary job, in a kitchen, where there is amazing food around all the time 

hi, i was going to start the dave palumbo keto diet but i think atm its just a bit too much as its quite hard to stick to the foods etc, im going to come back to this i did this last year from around early october up until december (christmas food and all that) i managed to get from like 95kg maybe a bit more to 80/81kg at my lowest and have gone back up to around 85kg since christmas as ive been back on the junk food etc. i had some pics but i sold my phone and as i took the memory card out walking to the car i lost it somehow! but i will take some more from today and then keep updated. ill probably post todays with the ones in the future as its less embarassing when you have a before and after :))

anyway this is a really good diet and the foods are good and really easy to stick to its a happy medium for me whereas other diets are just really no fun at all!

would recommend to anyone considering its worth it and the book is packed with a ton of information.

I weighed in this morning at just under 81kg i have been around 85kg just over a week ago and i switched from one diet back to this so i cant really say for sure whats done what but im happy either way but i will keep track from today and weigh myself each monday, i felt great in the gym yesterday everything felt alot easier the day before was a bit hard though. currently taking 3 BCAA+ (mid day around now) 1 Omega 3 Supp and then 3x Thermopure and 3x BCAA+ before gym in the evening also (7:45/8:00 ish) then i do weights for 25-30 mins followed by cardio for 40-60 mins. Previously i did take 20g dextrose after workout but im going to give this a miss now and get my next meal within 40mins. I got some pictures when i started this time again and i will post in 2 weeks from now before/after.

Thanks for the update and pleased to hear you're doing well!

Sorry James mate life went and got a bit crazy for a while i didnt have a chance to come on here but thanks for your reply
 
Have been doing the full body for a couple of months now though as above i wasn't able to do it as much as i would've liked!! and yes i meant the cardio afterwards i really struggle to keep at a moderate pace, i like to come out of the gym feeling like i've got nothing left in me... though the more i'm learning i'm finding out this isn't always the best approach. Am regretting buying the bloody STC now as well!
 
Anyway i've been doing a bit of research and talking to people in the gym and i think I am going to try a keto diet first (dave palumbo has been recomended) and then use the HiPaCC once i have reached my target weight to maintain the condition i want to be in. I feel i've lost a lot of time so really want to get things moving now
 
Thanks for your help with all this James really do appreciate it, i'll make sure to post some progress photos :D

going to try add on 5 more minutes on treadmill this week and do 40 minutes on bike bringing it to 65 mins cardio in total and then weights before.

mm when i first posted i said just below 81kg i cant remember now even so its still a loss. i cant remember what time i weighed then but i know this monday it was first thing in the morning so i will have to see next week. feel great tho. got pics again today also but i will upload them in a few weeks with some more from last week and the upcoming weeks also

regards queries james. it says 60g muesli could i replace this with 27g oats (the oatso simple sachets are 27g quite convenient)

On that level, it seems a little light; I'd have a slightly larger portion

James Collier

mm so like 1.5 sachets bring it to about 40g ?

also few things, last week instead of having say a low fat low sugar yogurt etc, i had ketchup with my chicken on 2 days. i also drank alot of pepsi max last week but i've cut that out this week. and i partially had been taken thermopure (from myprotein) x3 before workout but i had run out so i was taking x2 etc so it wasnt very accurate and also 3x BCAA+ in the day and 3 more before workout i also didnt manage to get many of the green tea in but i will get some mega green tea extract instead to make it easier.

this week i have cut out the pepsimax, thermopure and upped my oats from 27g to 40g. i will see how it goes im going to order some stuff from mp in a bit the greentea extract and the thermopure again. i will start these from monday so i can get a better idea if the thermopure works.

also considering CLA what do you think ?

and im just wondering about my cardio now, do you think it would be better to alternate days regards doing the same thing everyday.

e.g.

mon: rowing(warmup), weights, treadmill (2 min fast walk 1 min run x 20min), bike 40 min
tue: rowing(warmup), weights, treadmill (fast speed, high gradient the machine says 550cal/hr to get a better idea as all machines differ ) for 60 minutes and no bike.

i did 60 min on treadmill uphill fast walk last night because i have indoor football today and ive been having a bit of a pain on the lower part of my shin everytime i run its like the force when i land triggers it but walking i dont even feel no pain. tonight i will find out, i have been doing treadmill on this for a few days and i just bear through the pain really but im going to do the walking thing instead for a few nights if it dont feel too good tonight.

i see on the advanced cardio it says 40min rowing machine.

how do you think a combination of a morning unfasted jog/bike for 30/40 mins

then to go to the gym do my warmup, weights then just go on rowing machine for 40 minutes would this be alot better than what i am already doing?

thanks

might i add i have not been having the glucose drink either i have dextrose so usually i would have 15/20g with water (i think it was last time i was followign the diet)

what do you think, should i add it in or stay without it. if i add it back in it will probably be from monday as i want to try and keep track of things and try and figure what works best for me.

I'm not a fan of CLA

What you have for your cardio seems fine and morning cardio will be great

Dextrose = glucose - stay with it as per the plan

ok ill give the cla a miss then, ill add the glucose in from tonight then instead. and the thermopure next week.

so i weighed in this morning at 79kg, bit disappointed but at the same time im not as i feel i look better i will get pics tonight as usual this will be my 3rd set of photos so prob post them next week 1-4 depending on how i look. my skin also looks better im not really one for spots but have them from time to time but i havnt had any for a while now.

i think what i need is some bodyfat caliper tester things to measure the fatloss as im doing alot of weight sessions too?

also just been having 3 bcaa+ before workouts, i trained mon, tue, had indoor football wed, thur fri, sat(40 min fast uphill walk fasted, evening weights & cardio session for further 40 min) sunday same as saturday.

i have got one confession :( i kinda stopped up really late on friday playing fifa10 and call of duty on ps3 and had a snickers icecream :(( kinda why i did the 2 morning cardio sessions on the weekend altho i wanted to do it anyway it kind of made me feel guilty enough to actually do it.

will keep posted

Thanks for the update :)

Don't focus on the scales - it's how you look and feel

James Collier

yeah i feel better and feel that i look better im going to stick to this for another 9 weeks this being the start of my 4th, (from yesterday). and just take photos each week and compare, look in the mirror etc. after 9 weeks ill review and see what i want to do, carry on lose more if i have reached a decent level of bf then just see other options etc.

will keep posted each week

now in my 6th week (from monday) i weighed in at 76.8kg yesterday morning i haven't been following the diet or exercising apart from 5-a-side football twice for the past week / 10 days my gym membership expired so i've just been having a short break and relaxing playing computer etc, going back tonight had a few comments off people which is nice. probably slowed my progress down by not going to the gym and eating a bit of a junk but im still happy. will keep posted.

Great stuff!

HI James. After reading through the thread on thie diet regime over the weekend, Mrs CT and myself have both started it today. She is looking to lose about 21lbs. I am looking to lose 6/7lbs but maintain muscle etc. I am currently 173lbs. We are both 5ft 8". Due to the nature of my job/lifestyle/3 kids I am only really able to get in 2 full body workouts each week - I am following Frankie NY's all over body - alternative plan. Getting good results . However, should I be adding more protein (via whey shakes) to the diet plan in order to keep up muscle gain etc? Cheers.

Hi CT

If your goal is muscle gain, then HiPaCC will not be suitable for you since it is aimed at weight loss.  However, should you wish to maintain muscle mass and lose fat, then, yes, maybe upwardly adjust protein intake a little.

James Collier

Hi James - thanks for the response. When you say "should you wish to maintain muscle mass and lose fat, then, yes, maybe upwardly adjust protein intake a little," could you be more specific as to how much extra protein to consume and when to take it according to the meal plan?

Could I add say 20g of quality whey in the morning and a promax meal bar in the afternoon?

Also, my ideal scenario would be to lose 6/7 lbs body fat while maintaining muscle, obviously looking to then increase muscle size once the lower belly fat has dissipated.

It's hard to be specific, but I guess if you add a couple of 20g protein whey shakes in water, one first thing and one post-workout

Thanks James. Will follow that advice. Day 2 and we are both feeling quite hungry! On no workout days just one whey shake in water first thing then?

Sorry to bombard you with q's. Is the shake after workout in addition to the recommended glucose drink?

Yes, correct.

Correct.

Give it a few days and you'll be ok; the carb cycling will help compbat the hunger

Ok - thanks for the info. We will both definitely crack on with it and let you know how we are getting on next week.

Well week one is over. Results are ace I must say. Mrs CT loss = 5lbs. My loss = 4lbs. Both followed plan to the letter. Thank you. What is this about a cheat meal on one carbs day please?
