No I didn’t die, remember during that time I did hardly any exercise. The most I did was a warmup some easy medball throws with a jog and hurdle flexibility. There were times of it I very seriously considered adopting it as a full time eating pattern :eek: There are parts that I now incorporate in my diet, examples instead of coffee first thing I now have a hot drink with 3 desert spoons of lemon juice and a pinch of cayene pepper. I was never a large coffee drinker, 2 a day, and now have say 2 every 3 days. As for the weight, I have actually dropped a bit more since and that is with starting creatine. My regular diet is my own version of carb cycling which is something I have used for a couple of years, there is an article http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance_nutrition/a_beginners_guide_to_carb_cycling I pack on weight when I get tired and stressed as I binge eat in the evening …crackers with jam or peanut butter…:o
