The No Fail Fat Shock Cycle™ Experiment
First Day Results
Aloha, Fat Burning Babes worldwide! Below are the Day One numbers for the No Fail Fat Shock Cycle™. If you need background on the who, what, when, where, why, read this .
On Sunday, Susan and R.N. did a modified carb re-feed. Because Kim was in the phase of her menstrual cycle where progesterone is very high and estrogen and testosterone are in the crapper, I had her do a normal carb re-feed for max serotonin and other feel goods. Does this add to bloat? Yes. But it goes away in a day or two.
No fault of Kim's own, but the timing isn't the best to be doing the Fat Shock Cycle. It will still have a huge fat-burning impact going forward but the daily numbers will be skewed because of the additional PMS water - and - carb re-feed weight.
As for my carb re-feed on Sunday, I mowed down everything in sight as per usual. It's never pretty.
Yesterday was their first day of the Fat Shock Cycle. I had them report their a.m. scale weight this morning. Ideally, you have no liquid or shower beforehand. You pee and hopefully poop then immediately step on the scale.
RESULTS:
- R.N. - Lost 0.5lb
- Kim - Gained 2lbs. to be expected with PMS and larger carb re-feed.
- Susan - Stayed the same
- Michelle - Gained 1.1 lbs. Completely expected. Let's take a look at everything I did wrong to execute the Fat Shock Cycle™ properly and gain water weight (remember that you cannot get fat overnight):

| Here's how you screw it up |
- My protein yesterday is through the roof for doing this cycle. It's past even my regular maintenance protein numbers. I had some turkey and bacon concoction leftover in the fridge that was going to go bad. I put too much hot sauce in it to give to the dog.
- 7g net carbs sounds low but my mass protein inhalation pretty much cancels that out. I had a regular carb re-feed on Sunday night, so the added water weight combined with not staying in the protein parameters kept me out of ketosis when I measured with the Ketonix sport breath analyzer this morning.
- I said in the previous post that the Fat Shock Cycle pretty much looks like the opposite of what we do on regular days. This is the only time we give a crap about calories or the scale. I waaay over shot my calories.
- My fat looks good. That will help me out today for tomorrow's reading.
- TMI: I was in a rush to get to the gym at oh-dark-thirty this morning and didn't have time to poop before weighing. Guess what? Everybody poops -- even the Queen Mother herself. Guess what else? Poop is heavy. If your weight is only fluctuating a pound or two or even five, it's no reason to get upset. Especially if you haven't pooped. Go poop!

| Keto Calcium & Sodium Betahydroxybutyrate |
Today I'm dialing it in and doing it appropriately. To course correct, I also took some Keto CaNa
and... then... BOOM! Instantly in nutritional ketosis, focused and flying again. If you can get your hands on this stuff, you should.
Sticker shock warning: It's not cheap ($75 + shipping) but it is worth it depending on your athletic and physique goals. We have no affiliation with this company.
The Fat Shock Cycle can be hard on sleep. All of us except Susan slept like garbage last night. To be expected. Susan has pretty low body fat and is looking to drop one or two percent more. That's the hardest part. I think this shift for three days and different movement protocol will give her adrenals a rest and kick her body into the last stretch of fat burning.
We're all experiencing additional thirst, too. We're mobilizing fat and cellular cleansing at a deeper level than the initial 10 day carb depletion. We're asking a lot of our systems right now and need to support our bodies properly.
Stay tuned for tomorrow morning's results. I wonder what odds they have for us in Vegas?
Remember: you're not a damsel in distress. You're the hero of your story.
Yours in resilience, strength and sticks of butter,
Michelle

The body you want is the body you deserve. Thanks a million!
sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere, but can you tell me what app is being used in the photo? thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi there- Thanks for taking the time to write. I don't measure macros anymore as once you get used to the protocol you really learn to sense what your body needs as it changes day to day. That being said, for things like the No Fail Fat Shock Cycle, I use this app called "Bulk Up." It's basically for tracking protein but I use it for tracking macros (you can also use it to track micros).
Deleteawesome, thanks for your reply! i definitely agree with using your body as a guide, and i have gotten a lot better at that. i just liked that the screenshot here gave a breakout of net carbs, which i would like to be able to look at once in a while to get an idea of where that sits for me on a starch vs. no starch day.
Deletei have been using myfitnesspal, but i think that has some issues and i'm wondering if the inputs may be off... for example, i input a cucumber and it gave me 11g of carbs and 1.5g of fiber, leaving me with 10g of net carbs - seems like a lot for a vegetable that i think is pretty much just fiber and water. so for a lunch that consisted solely of vegetables, ground beef, and fat (avocado, ghee), i was left with 35g of net carbs. does this seem right to you? if it's correct, i don't see how i could ever get close to 30g of net carbs in a day while still eating the amount of veggies that i do, even on days that i am having no starchy foods.
yes, that was my sense with myfitnesspal - anyone can input any food item they want so it would be very easy to get misinformation, which i obviously did. thanks for your help!!
