Is the weekend portion. I am a firm believer of taking in huge amounts of carbs on day of the week, most notably on saturday. I think by eating and drinking (alcohol) on one day of the week gives a huge boost not only to maintaining the diet, but also giving a boost to the first day or two of the week in the gym. Following this regimen I have managed to loose 20 plus pounds of fat while increasing my strength drastically (without anabolics). For instance, my bench has shot up from 375 for 10, to 405 for 10, while decreasing my weight from 301, down to around 275. Everything else I agree on. Just wanted to throw in my two cents for what that is worth. To be honest there isn't a way for me to stay on the diet without atleast one trip to the Chinese buffet. The cardio part is an absolute must! Thanks.
