lcwannabe,

if you look on the BFL part of this site you will see that body buidling requires some people to eat more (good) carbs. Also I am one who needs a little more right before my TOM. About 10 days before I get so hungry! So I just eat more. But only legal foods. Lots of protein and fat.

You may need more than 30 grams of carbs a day just during this time. I had to face that I just wouldn't lose weight when I felt like this. But I did manage not to gain.

Supplements do help. Which ones are you on? Chromium was good for hunger for me.

I felt like the weight came off very slowly but in the end I got there. And so will you as long as you are persistant. Don't accept feeling 'blah' keep tweaking your program until you feel good AND are losing.

How much protein are you getting? you need lots more if you are body buidling.
