What's up fellas? I haven't been on in quite some time but wanted to post my cut diet to get your thoughts. I did a 5-3-1 program at the beginning of the year with great results but started getting some nagging injuries. I know I am going to get bashed for my cut diet but that's ok. You guys are the pros and I need to know what I should add and remove to accelerate my losses and keep my muscle. Couple of things about me... I don't like many veggies and the ones I do like are non beneficial. To make up for a little bit of that I take Pak, Omega, and Flex daily and have for quite some time 5 years roughly. I don't eat much before lifitng, just never have. I have a mild case of hypoglycemia so I can't go low carb. So here we go - throw your punches but don't go below the belt.
I've been on this cutting diet for 33 days and am down 9 pounds. And believe for the most part I've had some good results. Started at 197 and down to 188. May of 2011 I was at 210 and strong as a bull, just thick. I finally decided that I wanted to get lean and stopped eating everything.

Gallon of water a day. If I cheat it's usually a slice of pizza or a beer. I've got a wife and three kids so keeping diet on point with them is a pain in the ass. They all give me crap as it is. So, I do my best to prepare meals on Sunday for the week.
