It's working for me
-
That's…kind of the first tenants of any diet plan...
And that's why I don't diet. No sugar? That's just crazy talk.
However, I recognize that my methods don't work, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to give it a try. Nonetheless, it's gonna hurt. I love sugar.

just tried this. Holy shit is about all I can say. I did 10 secs on 10 secs off, 4x at the end of a normal work out.
the video is not me just to be clear.

If it's really killing you, you can sweeten your foods with honey. I don't know if Skogg allows it on his plan, but I have a couple of friends who sweeten some of their foods (oatmeal, coffee) with no detriment to their diet plan

Just buy a rope…

As a matter of interest, Doug, how does that compare to my day?:
All 4 sets
Squats
Dumbbell press
Leg press
Military press
Rope tricep extension
Lateral raisesno need for both leg press and squats, keep the squats ditch the leg press.
24 sets in a day is a lot. try breaking it up into a split, imo. something like this would be better
day 1
squat 5 sets
deadlift 5 sets
calf raises 3 sets
1 type of row 3 sets
pullups 3 setsstill a heavy day
day 2
flat bench (barbell or dumbell) 5 sets
shoulder press (barbell or dumbell) 5 sets
close grip bench 3 sets
dips 3 sets
butterfly 3 sets/or overhead press/or incline or decline benchevery other week or so throw in a shrug on either day- go heavy with the barbell in the squat rack. pop those trapz up hard

This probably belongs in the food thread but can also help here.
Made my own "energy" bar this morning. So easy and you know exactly what you're eating1 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 cup Peanut Butter- preferably natural with no added sugar- I like mine crunchy
3 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract- optional as you can't really taste itSpread out evenly into a container and refrigerate for 2 hours. Cut into whatever size bars you like and eat
Total recipe with my ingredients is 1212 calores and 44 grams of protein
I cut mine into 4 bars so about 300 calories per bar and 11 grams of protein and you know EXACTLY what you are eating.
If you give it a shot, let me know what you think

Good contribution!

We're not allowed peanuts Brooks, but I'll certainly give it a shot when I'm finished with the Whole 30. I intend to stick to healthy eating habits, but I could not live my life of the Whole diet (no booze, no sugar makes Gav a cranky boy).
