carb-loading

If you want to do PSMF then you don't really carb load, you refeed to replenish glycogen stores, normalize hormones, and keep you sane.

Tomorrow marks day 7 of PSMF for me. I'm not going to be doing the free meals. The diet is crazy effective, but exhausting as fuck. You will not gain any strength on 800 (or whatever low amount) calories per day. You will barely have the energy to get through lifting, and it loses its fun factor when you're so goddamn tired. You will not have the energy to do much cardio. You will be super fucking cold, tired, and without a libido for the whole duration. Honestly dude I do not recommend it unless you MUST lose X lbs by X date for a competition or something. If you've never been anorexic, if you've never had disordered eating patterns, you will likely come out the other side with completely fucked up hormones and binge until you've gained all the weight back.

Any questions?

>what does it do and what constitutes real carb-loading?

It replenishes your glycogen stores

Eating 2000kcal of rice and a couple of chicken breasts would be an example of carb loading

Does spending years maintaining / cutting to my weight class in wrestling count?

Only you can answer that question.

What I mean is, you need to be able to recognize that the diet is unsustainable and that you will need to stop doing it before your body makes that decision for you and you've downed 5,000 calories of peanut butter and you have no idea what happened, decide to diet to undo the damage, and repeat ad nauseum. You have to have a plan for the end. Whether that is taking a "diet break" before starting another cycle, or switching to something more sustainable like keto or leangains, or whatever, it will help prevent you from regaining everything.

Have you read the manual? The length of the diet is decided by your body fat percentage. Follow that.

lol thanks for posting the book. I looked around and couldn't find it. I was going to ask you a few questions but since you posted the handbook I assume it's all going to be answered there (like how often do I refeed and what do I eat when I do). t. OP.
