Love that you realized that 160 is too low for you - can't believe you can do 11 days without solid food - color me impressed!

@nikeit - Thanks :) I wanted to go to 160lbs only to give myself 'more room' when I 'bulk' and gain weight. However, I will just bulk for only two weeks and I should hopefully only gain 10lbs in that time. We will see...

Carbs won’t make you gain weight if you workout hard. Try using less weight during the exercise & doing a minimum of 4 Rounds, 4 sets 10-12 reps. Throw in some push-ups in between the set to keep the heart-rate in the 55 to 60% Level. It works for me & I eat at least 120 carbs per day.

I agree with srossca. you'll be able to lift more weight and build more muscle with some carbs.

I added 5 to my goal weight for the same reason. I like what I see now, and there's no reason to torture yourself over a number. You've done amazing with the solid food fast, and I'd love to know more about how you accomplished it.
Hope you have a great time in NY!

Like your cut first, bulk later approach. Hope to finished body fat consumption soon, and then try 30-40 grams carb value from pure glucose prior resistance training. Happy celebration.

I broke the fast 6 hours early. eating McDonalds and off to the gym before my flight.

@Draglist - Yeah I can only carb up on lifting days. if I ate as many carbs as some of the younger non insulin resistant people I would still be obese.

I was just curious. cheese for me is a trigger food. I can't just have one serving. I absolutely love it. I bought goat cheese yesterday to see if it bothered be and the dang thing had HONEY in it. so sad, I gave to a neighbor. happy birthday.
