It sounds like it would be like that. What a pain, IMO.

I find much more success with bulk-and-cut, but I know that's not for everyone either. I have the fat loss thing down pretty well ... my problem has always been adding muscle. I really really have to work at it, so I need all the advantages I can get in the way of nutritional support.

It sounds more reasonable, but what do you think of the medical community's stance on yo-yo dieting and fat cell gain... you know, how we gain fat and new cells, but only lose the fat IN the cells, therefore leaving the body ripe for regain? I've always wondered about that in relation to intensive workouts and those who are bodybuilding.

I feel chunky these days. LOL. But I am stronger in the gym, and my shoulders are very wide these days.

Hey, trade ya! LOL. I've been feeling like dooky lately, and yesterday had a MAJOR crash in energy---couldn't even drag myself in the bathroom to wash my hair!!! Out of my usual 3hr practice I only got in about 45min. I simply couldn't do anymore, period. I slept 11hrs last night and I feel terribly tired still. However, last night before I taught my dance class I ate 3 Atkins muffins (only 9g carbs total for all three...after fiber deduction) and within 30min or so I felt pretty good. But, I crashed again later. Still feel pretty crummy this morning.
I also noticed that I'm showing neutral again on the ketostix. Not that I rely that much on them anymore, but it ALWAYS does that---when I feel really bad, I'm at neutral. More than a coincidence, I think. I don't know what it is, but it sucks!
