unfortunately many were left in south east asia where they are still hunted by the laosian government today. nobody talks about it. very sad

I gradually reduce carbohydrates by 50gms on a biweekly basis when i'm dieting and measure the results by using the same mirror in the same lighting. I keep my protein about double my bodyweight.

i'll start off with 30 mns of low intensity cardio and increase it biweekly by 15 mn increments after i altered my diet.

i take everything in biweekly phases until i'm at a point that is satisfactorily lean. i'll stave off of carbs from 400-500 grams daily down to 50 or even zero.

then when i bulk up implement a reverse diet. firstly i'll only do 10-15 mns of cardio or none at all. then i'll add in all the food i was missing out on but only eat it directly after a work out and have few cheat meals on the weekend. every day when i'm reverse dieting i'll have a triple whopper or 5 chicken tacos from el pollo loco.

it's all individual and it would take a lot of space to write out exactly but that's basically what i do. they key to me is finding you're equilibrium of calories, carbs, and fats that you intake without gaining fat. then systemically reducing the numbers from there

Sounds like a standard dietary plan. Lots of protein and cutting down the carbs and fats whilst still maintaining a normal life style.

Have you heard of the steak and eggs diet? Schwarzy's trainer invented it and it's basically eat a shit loads of protein (steak and eggs) for a few days, then have a cheat day where you eat all the nutrients you're missing. He stook by this diet religiously and was famous for having almost no body fat, ridiculous muscles and like a perfect male form, or something.

As obvious as it sounds, a lot of bulking muscle, burning fat diets basically can be summarised as "eat lots of protein"
