not sure i can outline things without making it totally free which would not be fair to me... i have put a ton of free info out there in my webcast, my blogs http://www.biolayne.com and my article http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/layne36.htm

Thanks Layne.From what Ive read in your article it seems like a need a huge break from dieting.Its been like a year and I just need to relax and up my calories and build some muscle.Whats crazy is that last time I did this my love handles started to shrink.Strength went thru the roof also.

I see you recomend Sesamin.I have some kidney issues and insulin resistance so this looks like it may be very helpful for me.Plus it raises leptin levels which I feel are very low in my body fromtoo long of dieting.Can I take Sesamin while bulking?

Hi Layne
I'm dieting and my weight went down from 170 to 152-154 (5.5') in 5-6 weeks, but there stopped (ca.2-3 weeks and 9-10%). 1600 kcals (p:120g, f:40g, c:190g) and refeed once/week with 2200-2500 kcals. I'd like to lost 5-6 Ibs and stay there. Training: upper x 2, lower x 1, 3 x 30min run. intervall.
Please your opinion:
1. 2-3 weeks on 2200 then back to cut or
2. going lower (what I don't really want...) or
3. any other
thanks all your help

I was advised to do 1 refeed per week for a 2 week mini cut.

How far over your maintenance do you go on your refeed or do you even keep track?

that is very little info to go on... are you dieting for a show? how much do you weigh? how long do you have to get to your goal? what is your goal?

I can't pull this stuff out of my hat LOL


btw Happy thanksgiving to you and your families. Thanks for making the thread so successful

Great!!What about GDA's?Right now i am eating 6 meals and using 10mg VS and 200mcg chromium polynicotinate per meal.Ive read that you recommend ALA instead.

Do you think that 100mg ALA/200mcg Chromium at six times per day is toxic to body?I really do respond well to GDA's.Woke up today very full and lean!!

Thanks....

i'm just a not a big fan of chromium, I have yet to see any evidence it works in non-diabetics

Maintenence x 1.2

if you go the ALA route, don't forget about biotin.
