Body Opus Diet

BODY OPUS DIET by Dan Duchane

I was asked by Crank for this info. If I gotta type it out I might as well offer it to everyone.

The following is a very digested version of the Body Opus diet


Sunday at 6:00pm
Elliminate all carbs.

Monday:

Total calories should be 90% of your normal maintenance calorie level. You should eat NO carbs For example:if your daily maintenance level I 3000cal, you would eat 2700cal on Monday,.protein should be about 800cal the rest, all 1900 cal is fat.

Training day #1 work ½ of body today abs chest shoulders traps tri?s

Food types: eggs, meats (to include bacon sausage burgers) fish, oils
NO CARBS! ZERO! NONE!


Tuesday: same diet menu
Training day #2 work the other ½ of body today back bicep calves


Wednesday: same diet ? No training 20min cardio

Thursday: same diet no training 20 min cardio

Friday :2hrs before workout raise blodo sugar out of ketosis by eating 200 calories worth of carbs

Do full body carb depletion workout
After workout begin Carb super compensation

Saturday continue glucogen load

Sunday: continue glycogen load last meal at 6:00pm return to Mondays diet

You can expect to lose from 7-12lbs by Friday from the depletion
You can expect to gain back 5-10 by Sunday night from the carb load

I did this diet for 6 weeks - dropped a bunch of fat.
It was hard as hell to stay on for that long.
I think I started to drop some muscle about week 4.

Fucking excellent. I had to curse. This is exactly what I need!

Thats a pretty hard core diet!

How were your results SM???

 

[sweatmachine]

I played with it a couple times for about 12 weeks each. I lost 2 lbs per week thru the diet. Its great int he begining, you can eat all kind of stuff, hot dogs and cheeseburgers, just no buns! but come friday your jonesing really bad for carbs, The come sunday you can wait to quit eating carbs. Its drastic but it does work. The depletion work out is a mother it goes like this:

1 execise per muscle group- in no particular do order 6-8 supersets of
25-20 reps (with 5 minutes rest between each superset)of the following :

calves , quad hams back chest bi tri shoulder abs

this will fully deplete the muscle glycogen stores and allow for super compensation during carb loading phase...HAVE FUN!

If i might add, this diet also worked for me as well. But, there's a few "spins and twists" to make it more effective.....

#1.....Instead of hammering down burgers and hot dogs, you can keep the diet "cleaner" by eating leaner protein sources (chicken breast, white turkey meat, tuna fish, etc) and have all your fats content come from MCT oil, Canola oil. I know its sounds harsh as hell, but its more effective.

#2..........To get into Ketosis within 7 hours, drop all carbs at NOON on Sunday, and start using Humulin R slin every 3 hours along with JUST MCT OIL. You should reach positive on the Ketostix within 7-8 hours by doing this. (dosages are individual-dependent)...but 2-4 iu's every 3 hours is about the norm.

#3.......Use T-3!!! Ketosis knocks the s**t outta your thyroid so by adding T-3, you will avoid halted bodyfat loss. Normal dosages should start at 25mcg/day and adding 25mcg every 4-5 days until your at about 100mcg/day. This will make your body a literal bodyfat-burning FURNACE.

#4........Add more cardio......4-5 days at 45-60 minutes.

#5....I'm NOT condoning this, but the use of AAS will prevent muscle loss and may even add a fow pounds of lean muscle to your physique. Most people use a combination of Winny/Tren/Prop on this diet.

#6......Anti-Estrogens....The lowered estrogen on this diet will even further the bodyfat loss. Remember: Estrogen is a bodyfat "magnet".....and, most diets are not as successful because of heightened estrogen levels. So, 2.5mgs of Letrozole every other day is sufficient, or 1mg everyday of Liquidex is good as well.

#7.......Persistance!!!! DONT QUIT on this diet!!!

Best of luck, this will get you SHREDDED!!!!

For a natty, using T3 may not be a good idea. Some people (like Lyle McDonald, the most knowledgeable person on this subject, IMHO), that the drop in T3 on a ketogenic diet is a GOOD thing for holding on to muscle mass. Coupled with the other hormonal changes (low insulin specifically and high glucagon), its a good thing to be relatively hypothyroid. Of course, this doesn't help with fat loss, but it does (hypothetically) help with preserving a good ratio of fat / muscle loss.

thats right....let those ketones do the work for you

This is a great diet to follow but you have to flex it around to fit your individual needs. I am currently on day 3 of the diet and I am already craving Carbs. LOL. I will be on this diet for a total of 6 weeks to drop the body fat before my next cycle. @ week 3 I will add T-3 and 200mgs of DNP ED for the remainder of the diet.



T-3 will be @ 25 mcg ED and will not go up or down and the DNP @200 mgs is powder not crystal form.

There are two problems here......#1- Ketosis slows your natural thyroid down QUICK......#2- DNP does the same.

The solution....I would recommend that you bump up the T-3 to at least 75mcg a day, 100mcg a day optimally. Now, i dont know if you are using AAS with this diet, you didnt state that. If you are doing this WITHOUT AAS, then dont go any higher than 50mcg of the T-3 a day because you will lose muscle without a doubt. But even on DNP at low dosages will knock the hell outta your natural T-3 levels, and Ketosis even worsens this condition. Definately raise the T-3 intake. Best of luck bro.

Damn MB, let us know how that goes.

I am on my last 8-10 weeks of a serious cutter (for me), and I started to deplete yesterday, along with 4 injects of humulin r @ 2 iu's each ... I was already into ketosis last night, showing very positive on the ketostix, even with all the water I am drinking (almost 2 gal daily) ...

Right now, I am running tren/prop at 100/100 mg eod and alternating clen with ECA while running T3 at a set 50 mcg per day ... if I need to step it up I will, but see no need to now ... I have started the body "recomposition" that tren can produce ... and along with the prop, my muscles actually seem to be fuller and harder while still losing weight ...

My question is this ... I have read an article on "the ultimate no fat gain insulin plan", in which insulin is used, but with no carbs ... all energy comes from gluconeogenesis, so fat intake is relatively low, with protein in the range of 600 gm daily, to properly fuel the process of gluconeogenesis ... this seems to fall right into line with the CKD diet ... I was thinking of incorporating this into the program during the week, and either tightly controlling my carbup, or totally eliminating it (which should be feasible with the gluconeogenesis) ... the insulin is used just before and immediately after workout, and low blood sugar is prevented by all the extra protein ...

Just a thought ... what do you guys think?

Hey SM, I'm assuming that this is a schedule of your carb loads for 6 different weeks? ... either that or I suck at math!

 

[hangslo]

bump ...

 

[DIEZEL666]

It's the schedule for a Sat and Sun carb load broken down into 8 hr increments. Six 8 hour increments=48hrs=2 days= Sat and Sun. Hope that makes sense for you.
