So I have about a month of completely free time coming up, and I was wondering if it's realistic to be able to drop 2 stone over that period? (I'm about 10st at the moment).
I'm moving at the end of the month, so a gym isn't really ideal, but I was thinking of doing 2 hours cycling a day, and avoiding too many carbs, eating mostly chicken and fish etc. What would the best plan of action be?
Lol are you insane?? Focus on building rather than trying to lose even more weight, you're light enough as it is.

Has anyone got any experience with USN Muscle Fuel Anabolic?
On training days, do you take it before and after like a normal shake, or because it's got a lot in it, do you need to really space out the servings? Also, this shit is filling.

this sounds like a terrible idea, 2 hours cardio lol
Gonna start on the leangains diet to try and cut a little for summer.
I know it's been discussed somewhere or other in this thread, but can't be bothered to search through. Anyone had much success on this? Joga I seem to remember you mentioning it before?
I tend to train at night, so I'm thinking of fasting until 2/3pm, then eating up to 10/11, to give me plenty of energy before training, and plenty of post workout nutrition also. I'm awful at training in a fasted state, so I think this is the best regime for me...

Yeah I use it when dieting, I am doing it at present and have dropped 8lbs in about 5 weeks, all my lifts still going up and I've hit PBs on squat, deadlift, bench and OHP in that time, whilst training fasted.
The approach you've suggested for evening training sounds sensible, remember to base your biggest meals around your workout.
Surely leangains is based around training while fasted? I thought you fitted the fasting/eating at specific times around your training, not just fasting and training when you feel like it.

No it's not always fasted. There are setups for one meal before training, two meals before training, fasted early morning training and fasted lunchtime training.
6.30am - 10g protein shake / BCAAs 7-8am - Training 8.30am - 10g protein shake / BCAAs 10.30am - 10g protein shake / BCAAs 12pm - Lunch 3pm - Snack 6-8pm - Dinner and eating whatever else my macros/calories will allow 8pm-12pm - No food
Notes:
- For the shake / BCAAs, simply mix a 30g scoop in water then drink a third every two hours (Leangains recommends BCAAs, but I use protein and seen no ill-effects from this) - The 8 hour eating window can be adjusted depending on your training and habits - You don't have to have two meals, you can have three or four or whatever, I just do it that way so I can have a huge lunch and a large dinner and don't feel hungry in the afternoon - Largest meal should be your first meal post-workout - It may seem daunting not eating in the morning at first, and it's not for everyone, but eating times are entrained, and it doesn't take long to get used to it. I find mornings really productive cos it keeps my mind off food. Hunger comes, but subsides quickly. Also I have found protein shakes more satiating than BCAAs, probably due to the small amount of carbs and fat included - Black tea or coffee, diet soft drinks, green/fruit teas, and tea or coffee with a small dash of milk are all acceptable during the fasting period
I only do it when I wanna lose fat, it seems pointless when trying to get bigger to train then not eat for four hours.
Only tend to do it in two-month goes at a time, 5 weeks so far, 8lbs lost, I am assuming it is all fat (and some water weight) cos I am still gaining strength.
