From the Authors:
Chuck Rudolph, MEd, RD
Well, I must say how shocked I was that the CUT DIET book,
Game OverThe Final Showtime Cut Diet Youll Ever Need, was such anenormous hit. I knew it was going to be a challenge to place on paper myideas and philosophies or putting someone on stage and have it relate toa vast number o people without the personal touch. My ear was thatsince everyone is so dierent; how can one diet work or everyone? Well,it just goes to show that it can work and with the online support at www.scivation.com as well as various message boards, it worked very well. Thebest part was all o the questions, comments, eedback and usage romour customers that allowed us to see where we could make this diet moreecient in a manual ormat to get competitors on stage, shredded andconditioned.
Ater putting the actual book to the test, as well as taking moredetailed notes rom my personal clients in response to what I do outside
the book, we at Scivation were able to make adjustments and additionsto make Game Over Volume 2 and YOUR RESULTS even better. I per-sonally would like to thank everyone that read the book and utilized itsprinciples whether to get on stage or just to try it out to see how lean theycan get. As I stated, the eedback rom everyone was critical and very help-ul making Game Over Volume 2 even better.

Game OverThe Final Showtime Cut Diet Youll Ever Need, hasbeen distributed to thousands o people worldwide. We have receivedcountless letters oering praise or the condition this book helped themachieve. Not only did the Cut Diet help people look the best theyve ever
looked in their entire lives, but it also helped countless people improvetheir health and eating habits by promoting the use o healthy proteins,vegetables and ats and also demonstrating the proper use o insulin con-trol in ones diet and challenging long-ollowed nutritional strategies likethe inclusion o a carb-laden post workout shake even when one is dietingto lose at!
This revision is not only the result o listening to our customers,
but it is also the result o doing the diet ourselves. I used the Cut Diet toget ready or my rst bodybuilding show and I dieted or 11 total weeks.In that time, I attained a condition good enough to earn a victory as alight-heavyweight in an NPC show. I did all o this while moving cross-country, working very long hours, and also being a amily man to a wieand a young child. I was out to prove that anyone can get in stage-condi-tion i they ollow the proper diet, training and supplementation strate-gies outlined in this book regardless o how hectic lie is, and I did justthat.
So enjoy Volume 2. We took a great program and made it evenbetter. Your body will thank us.

In order to get into competition condition one MUST adhereto a strict, well-structured diet. The main roadblock that keeps peoplerom losing all the body at they need to and getting on stage in theirbest condition ever is HUNGER. I you are constantly hungry you willbe tempted to cheat on your diet, which will set your progress back. The
diet outlined in Game Over is setup to control hunger by eating nutrientdense oods and maintaining stable insulin levels. In addition to theseactors, the cyclic carb reeed is setup to give your body the carbs its needsat strategic times to keep your body in a at burning mode without haltingyour progress. The Cut Diet is truly a wonderul program to lose body atand improve your health.
One thing you will notice when you read the revised Game OverVolume 2 is that we scaled back the supplement section and recommen-dation. We elt that people were ocusing too much on the supplementsrecommended and overlooking the priceless diet and training programdetailed throughout the book. The Cut Diet is created to work withoutthe use o dietary supplements, though supplements can help. Thereore,we have revised the supplement section to list what we eel are the most
ecient supplements to use while preparing or your competition or los-ing body at. The keys to the Cut Diet are the synergistic diet and trainingprogram and the supplements simply add to that synergism.
In addition, we have added new sections addressing issues or con-cerns that may arise as you prepare or your competition. We hope youenjoy Game Over Volume 2!

How I Found the Cut Diet
I was a division-one college baseball player (D-1) and what mostwould consider a top-level athlete. When I injured my elbow, I was a mess.I was living the easy lie; drinking beer, eating ast ood, and was quicklybecoming, or lack o better terms, a at mess. I knew this had to changebecause my amily had a history o high blood pressure and diabetes. Toget back into playing shape and rehab my elbow, I knew something hadto be done.
I started to research nutrition thinking this could help me get backinto playing shape in six months. At that time, I was doing volunteerwork at a renal care center (a center or people with kidney disease) and acenter or diabetics. All o this was volunteer work required on my resume
to apply or Medical School. This is where the most undamental parto how to diet became clear to me. There was a dietitian there who putpatients on a meal plan with ve to six meals per day. Some o these pa-tients on insulin (Type I Diabetic) as well as not on insulin (Type II) werevery lean and were obtaining these results with no exercise. Within 6-10weeks, patients with controlled insulin levels would reduce their body at

percentage and lose very little muscle mass or no muscle mass at all. I wasamazed at these results. I thought, What i I could eat this way and getback into shape? I did just that. Then the thought occurred, What ithis response to balancing insulin levels via proper ood intake could beduplicated in all healthy populations, athletes, exercise enthusiasts, andeven bodybuilders?
By eating small, requent meals that are low in starchy carbohy-
drates and high in healthy ats and lean protein, you create adequateinsulin release. By eating inrequent meals with high carbohydrates andloaded with calories, you cause a drastic insulin spike that results in exces-sive bodyat storage and an insulin crash that halts at loss. The goal is tobalance insulin throughout the day and provide requent, smaller mealsto keep your metabolism revving because your body is like a urnaceiyou dont keep coal in it, it will stop burning.
At Scivation, we believe in high lean protein (2.0-3.2g/kg bodyweight), high healthy ats and low glycemic carbohydrates (mostly brousones) with timed carbohydrate loads to keep your thyroid happy. Theproblem with eating all low carbohydrate all the time is that your thyroidresponds to not only total calories, but also carbohydrates. When thereare no or very low carbohydrates in the diet or too long o a period, thethyroid senses that the body is starving or dying and its natural responseis to slow down your metabolic rate to preserve bodymass. Not only dothe carbohydrate loads replenish glycogen to the muscle, they also keepyour thyroid cranking and burning all day long.
When you eat at with any meal, especially a meal containingcarbohydrates, it will reduce the bolus size entry into the small intestine

signaling the pancreas to release an appropriate insulin concentration, nota major spike caused by carbohydrates and protein.
As trainers to many top athletes and physique competitors, weknow what it takes to get someone ready or a show or a competition.The problem is that this method has only been available or the top-levelbodybuilders and athletes that we consult with, until now.

The Most Important ComponentSynergy
We have all heard it beore, Diet is the most important thing.From our experience, this is partially correct. You can do a lot with diet,but without adequate training with both resistance and cardiovascular
training, you will be undermining your results. I you add in a proven,eectively dosed supplementation regime, youll be amazed at what thesethree components can do or you.
The Big Hoax
Lose 10 pounds in two weeks! Eat what you want and still lose
weight! We have all heard these promises, but yet over 60% o Ameri-cans are obese or overweight. What gives? The answer is that weve beenlied to. As consumers and physique enthusiasts, we are always looking orthe next big thing and hoping or the magic pill. Unortunately, there isno magic pill. Yes, we believe in supplements and advocate their use. Butor optimal results, the other two corners cannot be ignored!

The History and Failure o Fad Diets
Low Carbohydrate, Low Fat, The Graperuit Diet, The Liquid Diet.Heck there are so many ad diets that have come and gone over the yearsthat we have lost count. The one thing they all have in common is oneword, Fad. These diets all come and go ast. However, people seem tolose weight on these diets. Then why do they ail?
Diet is about calories in and calories out rst and oremost withmacronutrient manipulation secondary. One thing we emphasize is con-trolling insulin. How do we do this? We keep protein and at high withcarbohydrates coming mainly rom low glycemic index (GI) and broussources. On the Cut Diet, every third day, we have a low GI carbohydrateand good at reeed meal with no protein. A reeed is an infux o carbo-hydrates and overall calories above what you normally consume. Thisconsists o the ollowing and must be eaten in the ollowing order:
Fibrous Vegetables (green beans, broccoli, spinach or asparagus) areeaten rst to ll the stomach with ber to reduce transit time o thecarbohydrates coming you are about to consume.

Next, we consume a higher ber complex carbohydrate, like oatmeal,along with raisins and honey (alkaline oods), and almonds as the atsource.The nal portion o the reeed is sweet potato (low GI, but easilydigested and absorbed) and either almonds or peanut/almond but-ter. You might be thinking, A carbohydrate and at reeed meal? Arethese guys crazy?
As stated beore, the problem with low carbohydrate diets is theact that your thyroid does not operate optimally on reduced calories, letalone carbohydrates. This got us thinking, What is the best way to inusecarbohydrates into the diet without spiking insulin too much and stallingat loss? Then it hit us
Never Combine Carbohydrates and Protein
The act o the matter is, by utilizing this approach, the insulinspike is dramatically minimized and the carbohydrates will do what wewant them to do, rell glycogen stores and support healthy thyroid unc-tion. When you combine at and carbohydrates, the at encapsulates thecarbohydrates and slows down digestion, minimizing the insulin spike.When you combine protein and carbohydrates, it sends insulin skyrocket-ing and can lead to the last thing you want when dieting, at storage!
We like to reeed with starchy, nutrient-dense carbohydrates andgood ats with no protein every third day depending on caloric intake.This all depends on the bodytype o the individual. In our experience, 85-

90% o our clients see great results with this tactic. The reason or this is toget the body in a at-burning state but not allow it to think it is starving.One problem we have with the low-carbohydrate phase is that a personsmetabolic rate (especially thyroid) unctions o o calories and carbohy-drates. I you cut out carbohydrates all the way, the body begins to sensea state o starvation. This will slow down the metabolic rate as well asthyroid production and you then hit the wall, or a sticking point. What
we like to do is incorporate good carbohydrates with good ats becauseit slows down digestion and supports healthy insulin output so there isoptimal metabolism along with healthy calories and protein to preservemuscle tissue. Lets ace it; muscle preservation is the key to at burning.I we have a person that begins at 185 pounds and is 19-20% bodyat andater 12-16 weeks is 165 pounds and at 15% bodyat, then we are not toohappy with the results. On the other hand, i that same person is 180
pounds at the end o 12-16 weeks and is 10-11% bodyat, then we havesucceeded.
Good Fats
Fat = STORED ENERGY.
Good Fats AKA EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids) are mono- (MUFA)
and polyunsaturated atty acids (PUFA). They are essential because ourbody does not manuacture them, and they must be obtained throughour diet on a daily basis or optimal health and well-being. All ats havethe same amount o calories, but their chemical compositions vary. Fats
Cut Diet Principles 15

are made o chains o carbon and hydrogen atoms. The saturation reersto whether all the available positions on the carbon atoms are bondedto hydrogen atoms, or i there are any hydrogen atoms missing. The twoGOOD FATS are:
1. Monounsaturated Fats
These ats have one position missing a hydrogen atom, insteadcontaining a double bond between carbon atoms. Monounsaturated atis ound in oils such as canola, olive, and peanut as well as most nuts andnut butters. This type o at does not cause a rise in total cholesterol. Inact, science has indicated that individuals who substitute monounsatu-rated at or saturated at in their diet, actually shows a reduction in the
bad cholesterol, and protects the good cholesterol (HDL) rom decreas-ing.
2. Polyunsaturated Fats
These ats have more than one position missing in the carbonchain, and contain more than one double bond as a result. Two majorcategories o polyunsaturated ats are Omega-3 and Omega-6 atty acids.Omega-3 means there is a double bond in the third position rom the endo the carbon chain. These ats are extremely healthul and have shown inclinical investigations to support cardiovascular/heart health, reduce totaltriglycerides and increase good cholesterol, produce hormone-like sub-

stances with anti-infammatory benets and promote optimal ocus andconcentration. The best sources o Omega-3s are atty sh such as salmon,sardines, mackerel, herring, and rainbow trout and sh oil supplementshigh in DHA (docosahexaoic acid). Canola oil, walnuts, and faxseed alsocontain some Omega-3. Omega-6 ats have a double bond in the sixthposition rom the end o the carbon chain. These ats are ound in oilssuch as corn, soybean, cottonseed, sunfower, and safower.
Why are EFAs important?
Our bodies must ingest a constant and balanced supply o EFAs.Essential Fatty Acids produce benecial hormone-like compounds calledeicosanoids that aect the unction o virtually every system in the body.
They also regulate pain and swelling, help maintain proper blood pressureand cholesterol levels, and promote fuidity in nerve transmission.
The most important Essential Fatty Acids are EicosapentaenoicAcid (EPA), an omega-3 PUFA with 20 carbons and 5 double bonds syn-thesized rom linolenic acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA), an omega-3 PUFA with 22 carbons and 6 double bonds synthesized rom linolenicacid. They are the nutrients responsible or cell fexibility, nerve commu-
nications, mood support, and even body at reduction. Good ats or Es-sential Fatty Acids, are the naturally-occurring, traditional ats that haventbeen damaged by high heat, rening, processing or have been slightly tam-pered or not tampered with, such as partial hydrogenation. The best othese kinds o ats are ound in sh, nuts, avocados, seeds and various oils.

Dietary Fiber
Fiber is a type o carbohydrate but cannot be digested by thehuman gut nor does it provide any energy o which to speak. Amongits protective qualities, it helps soten stool and encourages normaleliminations (healthy bowel movements). Fiber rich diets also pro-mote a eeling o ullness, which is very benecial or those look-
ing to drop a ew excess pounds. Finally, ber has been linked toa reduction in heart attacks, strokes, colon cancer and diabetes.
Fibrous veggies we recommend are the green ones like broccoli, as-paragus, spinach, green beans and lettuce.
Whole Food Versus Liquid Meals
Thermogenesis is the state every individual who has ever dieteddesires. How do we keep thermogenesis cranked to the ullest? Easy, keepeeding your body whole oods. Every time you eat a meal, your bodyhas to burn calories to digest it. The more oten you eat (to a point),the more thermogenic you are. So can you just drink a shake instead?
We recommend getting most o your meals rom whole oods.Sometimes convenience orces us to rely on protein shakes. For this rea-son, we recommend a pure whey protein isolate that is easy to digest witha very high biological value such as Primaorce Substance WPI. Wheyprotein also has unique immune benets not oered by whole oods.

The Keys to Burning Fat all day long
Calorie Control
Even though you will probably eat more on this diet thanany diet you have ever used beore, the biggest actor in a diet is cal-ories in versus calories out with macronutrient manipulation. By
keeping insulin under control, the Cut Diet will keep your appe-tite suppressed and your metabolism revving! The two major se-crets to the Cut Diet are to control insulin and to maintain an alka-line state in the body. Below are some o the ways we accomplish this:
Control insulin levels
Eat ve to eight meals per day: Large meals can create an enormousinsulin spike, which can cause your body to store at. Small mealscreate a much smaller, more controlled insulin release thus less atstorage and more at loss.Never skip a meal: We dont care i meal one was at the local buetand you ate until you had to unbutton your pants. Do not skip yoursecond meal! Keep the motor revving.
Eat good at with every meal, especially carbohydrate meals.Do not combine carbohydrates and protein alone, this elicits the highestinsulin response. For example, a cup o oatmeal has a moderate insulin re-sponse but when you combine oatmeal with whey protein, you get a muchhigher response. I you do combine these, be sure to add a at source.

Keep it Base
We are talking about controlling the acidity o your meals. Whywould we do this and why does it matter?
Your bodys pH level is slightly alkaline, with a normal range o7.36 to 7.44. To maintain optimal health and results, you should at-tempt to keep your body in an alkaline state through diet. An im-balanced diet high in acidic oods can make your body acidic. Thiscan deplete the body o alkaline minerals such as sodium, potassium,magnesium, and calcium, making you more prone to chronic and
degenerative disease and potentially disrupting nutrient absorption.
Add at to your meals! For example, when you eat a meal like oat-meal and egg whites, you are eating a very acidic meal. But whenyou put raisins and almonds in your oatmeal and have somesteamed vegetables with it, you are lowering the acidity o that mealdramatically. All o the Cut Diet meals keep this actor in mind.
When you cannot add at or vegetables to your meals, add two to vegrams o L-Glutamine. This will lower the acidity o your meal to keepyou in a more alkaline state.

GraperuitThe Great Fruit
We recommend obtaining your carbohydrates in every meal dur-ing the Cut Diet (not including the carbohydrate meal) rom leay greenvegetables and graperuit. Why graperuit?
Graperuit is loaded with naringin. The majority o caeine andother alkaloids are metabolized by various enzymes such as CYP1A2,CYP2E1 and CYP3A4. However, naringin has been documented to in-hibit CYP34A (as well as CYP1A2) activity in human liver. This meansthat naringin may increase the hal lie (extending the activity) o various
Cut Diet Principles 21

8/4/2019 GAME OVER VOL.2

alkaloids, especially caeine. Many at burners utilize naringin or en-hanced alkaloid eect. We got hooked on in it 10-11 years ago in the CutDiet and since then, we have never dealt with anything else. We will alloworanges i necessary but they do not contain as much naringin as grape-ruit. So unless you cannot stomach them at all, eat your graperuit! Werecommend sprinkling a packet or two o Splenda on them. In a recentstudy in La Jolla, CA, graperuit consumption was ound to be associated
with a reduction in weight. Moreover, 2-hour post-glucose insulin levelswere signicantly reduced among subjects consuming hal a graperuitwith each meal, as compared to a placebo.
Just Say NO to the Post Workout Insulin Spike
Our opinion may upset people but here it is. We do not recom-
mend a postworkout (PWO) shake when the activity is or physiquepurposes. We would rather provide aminos (Branch Chain Amino Acids(BCAA) and Whey Protein Isolate (WPI)) during the workout to helpreduce muscle tissue catabolism and provide energy. I you do not haveBCAAs and WPI during your workout/cardio training, then we recom-mend a WPI shake (protein only with no carbohydrates) PWO to getthe body into an anabolic state. When you hop o that cardio machine
postworkout, get home and eat your next meal around 30-45 minutes ol-lowing your training session.
I you are a perormance athlete (hockey, tennis, soccer, basket-ball, etc), then a PWO shake with carbohydrates and protein would beideal to replenish glycogen stores and get the body recovered or the next

days training or event. This is irrelevant because a perormance athletewould not be on a Cut Diet. The goal or this athlete is perormance andthe goal o the Cut Diet is physique. Thereore, a perormance athletemay even get Carbohydrates during their workout depending on the in-tensity. Many people we do diets or are looking to reduce at. Thereore,maintaining as much muscle tissue as possible in a lowered caloric state isour goal. In the Cut Diet, we control insulin to enhance at loss and even
our carbohydrate meal keeps insulin under control. Thus, the last thingwe want on this diet is to spike insulin!
Here are some other keys to the Cut Diet:
Drink Plenty o Water. Try to drink eight glasses o water per day.Drinking water has many benets and provides optimal hydration as
well as a eeling o ullness without added calories.Do not skip meals. Skipping meals can drastically reduce your bloodsugar levels and make you crave sweets later on.YOU MUST EATto lose weight. Starving yoursel may get you to losea ew quick pounds, but the repercussion o not eating and providingthe body with essential nutrients will lead to an unhealthy liestyle.When you do not eat, the body senses that there is no nutrition and
its job now becomes to Survive. It will slow down your metabolicrate and begin to eat away lean muscle tissue. This makes it extremelydicult to lose body at once you begin to eat again.Choose resh, wholesome oods. Try to purchase resh oods versusprocessed (packaged) oods. Packaged oods are loaded with preserva-

tives, especially sodium and saturated ats. You will be amazed at howast you can lose at just by packing meals rom home rather thanpurchasing ast ood or packaged oods. You also will save a lot omoney!
BCAAs the perect dieting uel?
Layne Norton BS Biochemistry
In recent years BCAA supplementation has come back intovogue in the bodybuilding and tness community and with good rea-son; Branched Chain Amino Acids may have more research to supporttheir use as a supplement than any other supplement available! WhileBCAA supplementation may be useul or gaining mass, I believe they
are most useul or maintaining muscle mass while on a diet, especiallyor bodybuilding competitors who take their physiques to the extreme oleanness. Although getting shredded makes you look awesome onstageand on the beach and with your opposite sex riend (or riends i youare that kind o guy/gal) it can also cause mucho loss o muscle mass.
Dieting is catabolic or several reasons. The leaner ones bodygets, the more likely they are to lose muscle mass as the body will try
harder and harder to hold onto body at stores. In doing so, the bodywill turn to muscle to satisy its energy needs. On the molecular levelthis occurs by the body increasing protein breakdown in order to liberatemuscle amino acids or uel. I this isnt bad enough it is compoundedby the act that levels o protein synthesis will also decrease due to re-

duced energy intake. Since the basic equation or muscle mass = (rateprotein synthesis rate o protein breakdown) you better believe this isbad news. When the rate o synthesis equals the rate o breakdown, thereis no net loss or gain o muscle. I the rate o synthesis exceeds the rateo breakdown, there is a net gain o muscle. Conversely, when the rateo breakdown exceeds the rate o synthesis, there is a net loss o musclemass. Thereore, during dieting you may be burning the candle at both
ends as breakdown is elevated and synthesis is reduced.To compound the metabolic aects o dieting, there is also the workoutactor to consider. As one becomes leaner and leaner, they also becomemore lethargic due to decreased energy intake and decreased glycogenstorage. This causes workout intensity and strength to suer. This mayincrease muscle loss by preventing the individual rom liting heavy loadswith the sucient intensity required to cause their body to adapt to the
workout by increasing or maintaining lean mass. Essentially what yourbody thinks i you start using lighter weights due to strength/intensitylosses is, Hey this load isnt as heavy as Im used to, I can use some othis muscle or energy since I dont need it or liting a heavy load.
Thus ar I have presented you with the 3-headed monster o muscleloss. So how does BCAA supplementation help prevent muscle loss? Byattacking all 3 heads o this monster. It is well established that branched
chain amino acids (particularly leucine) stimulate protein synthesis andcan do so to a greater extend than a normal protein meal by itsel. Whatis even more interesting is that BCAAs also increase synthesis o the cel-lular machinery responsible or carrying out the process o protein syn-thesis. So not only do BCAAs increase the RATE o protein synthesis but
Cut Diet Principles 25
-
8/4/2019 GAME OVER VOL.2
31/155
they also increase the cells CAPACITY or protein synthesis! BCAAsalso work in your avor at the other end o the muscle gain equationby reducing the rate o protein breakdown. This is most accomplishedby decreasing the activity o the components o the protein breakdownpathway and also by decreasing the expression (the amount o mRNAproduced rom the gene that codes or these components) o several com-plexes involved in protein breakdown. I we revisit our original balance
equation or muscle mass, one can plainly see that increasing synthesisand decreasing breakdown will swing the pendulum ar in avor o musclegain/maintenance.
The positive eects o BCAA supplementation on protein break-down & protein synthesis are not the only benets to BCAA supplemen-tation while on a cutting diet. BCAAs can also help improve workout
ocus. BCAAs compete with the amino acid Tryptophan or entry intothe brain where Tryptophan can be converted to the neurotransmitterserotonin through a series o reactions. During exercise, serotonin levelsrise and can (amongst other things) increase the perception o atigue andcut workout intensity short. Supplementation with BCAAs reduces theamount o Tryptophan that enters the brain and thereore reduces theamount o serotonin that is produced, which may allow you to workout
harder and longer.
Despite the numerous positive benets to BCAA supplementa-tion, there are many skeptics who suggest that BCAAs are overpriced andthat one can just increase their consumption o whey protein which is rich

in BCAAs. Unortunately this is not the case. The BCAAs in whey arepeptide bound to other amino acids and must be liberated through diges-tion & absorbed into the bloodstream to exert their eects. Even thoughwhey protein is relatively ast digesting, it still takes several hours or allthe amino acids to be liberated & absorbed into the bloodstream. BCAAsin supplement orm, however, are ree orm BCAAs and require no di-gestion and are thereore rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, spiking
blood amino acids to a much greater extent than peptide bound aminoacids. Even a ew grams o BCAAs will spike plasma levels o BCAAs toa much greater extent than a 30g dose o whey protein, impacting proteinsynthesis and protein degradation to a much greater degree. The reason asupplement has such a powerul eect on blood levels o BCAAs is thatunlike other amino acids, BCAAs are not metabolized to a signicantextent by the small intestine or the liver, thereore an oral supplement is
more like a BCAA injection since it reaches the bloodstream so rapidly.
All o this inormation is all well and good, but whats the bottomline? The bottom line is that new studies have shown that supplementingwith BCAAs (like leucine) increase muscle retention and maximize atloss on a diet when compared to non-supplemented groups. Thats thebottom line my riends, more muscle mass retained and a greater percent-
age o body at lost. Forget other supplements that are long on promisesbut short on results, BCAAs deliver the goods!

Determining Calories For The Cut Diet
For simplicity and a rough estimate, we have divided people intosix dierent groups (these numbers are not scientically proven, they areestimates we have gathered based on all weights and body types using ourcalorie calculator) based on i you are an Endomorph, Mesomorph orEctomorph with high or low bodyat.
High body at (15%+) Endomorph = 28-31 calories/kgHigh body at (15%+) Mesomorph = 32-35 calories/kgHigh body at (15%+) Ectomorph = 36-40 calories/kg
Low body at (14%-) Endomorph = 30-33 calories/kg
Low body at (14%-) Mesomorph = 34-36 calories/kgLow body at (14%-) Ectomorph = 37-40 calories/kg
For example, a 180lb male at 22% body at who is a mesomorph bodytype would equal:
180/2.2 = 81.819 Kg x 32-35 calories/kg = ~2,600 2,900 calories
This individual would opt to use the Cut Diet 2,500 or Cut Diet3,000. To be more accurate, or example, i this individual were 15-17%bodyat, then we would recommend starting closer to the 2,900 calories.However, i this person started at 22-24% bodyat then we would rec-

ommend starting at the 2,500 calorie range. As you progress, graduallyreduce total calories by 150-300 calories (strength and bodyat reductionpending).
16 Weeks or Contest Shape?
The Cut Diet is VERY eective or getting someone ready to step
onstage. However, it has its limitations. To get stage ready, we recommendstarting the 16 week Cut Diet at 12-13% bodyat or less. I you are over15% bodyat, you might not be able to achieve stage-ready conditioning.The Cut Diet can help you lose at exceptionally ast, yet is not likely toget you stage- ready in 16 weeks. Once you get to 12-13% bodyat, this 16week program will dial you in!
Carb Load at Night
The preerence to carb load at night time (with healthy ats and noprotein) is to add carbohydrates back to replenish glycogen stores (rommild ketosis) and provide the body with an excess o calories to jolt its me-tabolism and keep the thyroid happy. We use brous veggies rst to providebulk in the gut and reduce transit time. The good ats along with low GI
carbohydrates are provided to add calories, glycogen replenishment anda controlled insulin release. We do not use any protein with the carbohy-drate meals because we do not want an additional, possibly uncontrolled,insulin spike that is seen when carbohydrates and proteins are eaten to-gether. This may appear old school, but we have added a new school twist.
Cut Diet Principles 29

8/4/2019 GAME OVER VOL.2

No Water With The Carb Load!
We recommend drinking our to six ounces o water 60 minutesprior to the carbohydrate meal and then consume our to six ounces 45-60 minutes ater the last bite o the carbohydrate meal. Even though youare consuming low GI carbs, these have a tendency to draw water to theabdomen. Any excess water intake during the meal may result in unwant-
ed bloating or eeling o ullness beore the meal is complete. Since youare consuming a major infux o total calories rom nutrient dense oodsources, we want to make sure you get all o this meal in.
What to Expect on the Cut Diet
Once the Cut Diet begins, your body will go through some chang-
es and adaptations. Please note these changes are normal and they will goaway. Initially, you may eel weak in the gym, low energy, possible head-aches, irritability and weight loss. DO NOT FREAK. The symptoms willlast about one to two weeks and they do not happen to everyone. Yourstrength, energy, pumps and at loss will start to kick-in between week ourto six.
The rst two to three carbohydrate loads can be dicult to handle.
First, the amount o ood is large and the stomach may have problems ad-justing. This is normal. Also, you may get light-headed, woozy, dizzy andtired ater the meal and even the next day. The day ater this meal, youmay experience gas, bloating and water retention the rst two to threecarbohydrate loads. One way to help avoid this is to take your time eating

this meal. Make it last a minimum o 30 minutes and no longer than 45.Also, be sure that you do not lie down to bed within 45-60 minutes o thelast bite.
The Calories Dont Add Up!
We dont count every calorie in the Cut Diet or any other diet we
design. Instead o counting every calorie, we ocus on serving sizes basedon the amounts/measurements we provide. This method began with theuse o the diabetic exchange list which only counts servings rather thanevery calorie. Over our years and use o a very sophisticated ood proces-sor system, we have made the serving sizes to account or total caloriesthat we believe to be most optimal and very well balanced. Unless you arewearing a monitor that can tell you every calorie you burn every minute
o the day, we nd it unnecessary to count every calorie rom every ooditem. What i you have more stress on one day than on the next? What iyou are mildly sick or have cold?
We think you may actually burn calories just trying to calculatethem all rom every darn piece o ood which is a waste o time in ouropinion. The Cut Diet provides grams per servings. The general rule othumb is one carbohydrate serving is 15 grams o carbohydrates, one
at serving is ve grams o at and one protein serving is seven grams oprotein. With this simple ormat, you can make dierent meals on theCut Diet by simply sticking to the amounts allowed in our ood optionssection. This will also allow you to match up the recommended grams ocarbohydrates, at and protein per meal as indicated.

When to Lower Calories and Where From
As we have mentioned, optimal dieting is about calories in versuscalories out with macronutrient manipulation as well as a major ocus oninsulin control through diet. Initial caloric intake when starting the CutDiet all depends on where the individual starts. Ideally, we want to startthe calories on the highest side to maintain current scale weight with
the goal in mind to preserve/build lean body mass (LBM) and burn at.However, a person that starts a Cut Diet at higher body at percentage(>15%) will have lower calories than what our ormula would estimatebased on activity to maintain (starting body at < 15%) current weight.The idea is to provide the calories but manipulate the macronutrients(carbohydrates, at and protein) to keep the current scale weight yetreduce body at. As with all diets, you will encounter stick points. Stick
points are when you do not notice changes over a weeks time. Meaningthat you do not see the scale lowering (as previous weeks) and/or bodyatpercentage is not lowering and/or denition is not appearing more no-ticeable. When these arise, calories need to be reduced or low intensitycardio increased. We preer starting with a ve to ten minute increase incardio until 45 minutes is reached. That is the max time on any cardiomachine with your heart rate (HR) at 130-150 beats per minute (BPM).
Once the next stick point occurs, we remove the graperuit laterin the day along with 15 grams o vegetables ( cup = ve grams o car-bohydrates rom veggies) and ten grams o at (one oz avocado, two tsppeanut butter and six almonds = ve grams o at).
As or the carbohydrate meal, we will take out ve grams at
32 Game Over
-

38/155
and 15 grams o carbohydrates (rst to be removed is the honey). Aseach stick point is reached, we try to reduce 160-220 calories rom themain daily diet and then 50-100 calories rom carbohydrate meal. Thisis tricky, but it works. You just have to listen to your body and under-stand what it needs. It will always need nutrients. A general rule othumb (although not indicative or everyones Stick Point) is thatevery 2-3 weeks your daily caloric intake should be cut by ~200 calo-
ries and the Carb Meal should be cut by ~50-75 calories so that byour weeks out rom the show day you are approximately 35-45% lowerrom your starting calories. For instance, i you start on the CUT DIET2500 calorie plan, you should be talking in ~ 1375 1625 caloriesper day and your Carb Meal should be ~ 480 calories - 570 calories.PLEASE NOTE: This is a GENERAL RULE and that everybody respondssomewhat dierent.

QUICK and EASY Exercise Tips
See your doctor beore starting any new exercise program. It is al-ways benecial to get a physical beore starting any new exercise pro-gram. You can learn a lot rom a simple physical especially what youneed to work on both through nutrition and exercise.
Drink plenty o water beore, during and ater exercising. Maintain-ing healthy hydration supports energy levels, increases endurance,prevents cramping and potential injuries and increases at loss.
Make an exercise plan. Sit down and make a realistic plan as to whatexercises you want to do and what days and what time o the day theworkout will mesh with your schedule.
Set daily and weekly goals. Long term goals are great to reach or, butsometimes get lost in the shufe and we tend to ask, Why am I work-ing so hard, i the ultimate goal is so ar away. Take Baby Steps andset daily goals, then stretch it out to weekly goals. Beore you know it,

you will be at your ultimate long term goal.
NEVER OVEREXERCISE! Use common sense and avoid trying todo too much too soon. The key to a successul exercise program isLittle and Frequent. Exercising should not be a temporary thing,make it a liestyle decision.
Dieting and StrengthWill it all go away?
In the rst couple weeks on the Cut Diet, you might eel likeyoure losing strength until your body adjusts. That is perectly normal.As time goes on, your body will adjust to the lower carbohydrate intakeand by using Glutamine and healthy ats in your diet, you will nd thatyou have more energy than beore!
Training Versus Overtraining
When we tell people to perorm cardio ater weight training, theysometimes say, That means Ill be in the gym or two hours! We usuallyrecommend between 20-35 minutes o low intensity cardio post workout.What are these guys doing training or two hours? Weight training shouldtake 30-45 minutes max. It is easy to overtrain, and we want to preventthat by getting in, training, and then getting out. Also, who wants tospend all day in the gym?
Note: Our Training System is outlined later in this chapter.

Cardio--Low Intensity Versus HIIT
The key to dieting is to preserve or even gain lean mass while drop-ping bodyat. In our opinion, High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)used on a dieting individual while weight training and on reduced calorieswill lead to one thing, muscle loss. We do not want this. We utilize cardionot only or calorie burning, but also or nutrient absorption and oxygen-ation o the muscles. Think about it, as your heart beats and blood fowsthroughout your body, the nutrients are being delivered to you musclesat an accelerated rate, thereby promoting recovery and at-loss!
HIIT Cardio -- When and How to Add It
Despite what the previous section states, there is a time and a place
or HIIT on the Cut Diet. We know that the leaner one gets as the contestapproaches, the harder it is to burn that nal body at. What we like to dois add in 1-2 days o HIIT to help get rid o that last bit o at. Ater doingour LI cardio or the beginning 10-12 weeks, which works great with ourhigh at/low carb diet, the nal 4-6 weeks may call or some HIIT. HIITis very benecial in post workout at oxidation. We do not recommendHIIT on a weight training day since the eects are similar to weight train-
ing, but on a non-workout day during the last 4-6 weeks, we strongly eelthat HIIT will optimize at burning.During HIIT, consume your Workout Nutrition as i you were
weight training. HIIT can be done on non-workout days as well as in theevening or Morning on shoulder day, allowing or two days per week the
Cut Diet Training 43

last our to six weeks or HIIT. On the non-workout day, the HIIT can be
very intense. The breakdown will be: Five minute warm up, 30 minutes oHIIT, then 5 minutes cool down. On shoulder day, HIIT should be eitherperormed in the morning (then weights at night) or weights in the morn-ing (HIIT at night). Please note on shoulder day and especially during thenal our to six weeks that we recommend Workout Nutrition or weightsas well as HIIT sessions. Also, on shoulder days with HIIT implemented,the HIIT can be reduced to 5 minutes or warm up, 20 minutes HIIT, and5 minutes cool down. To enhance the at burning eects, we recommendcontinuing the postworkout LI cardio and just add in the HIIT at a dier-ent time during the day.
Warming up with Cardio
There are some instances when cardio beore weights is accept-able. I your diet is in check (which it will be i you ollow the Cut Diet)and you consume your Xtend and Substance WPI cocktail pre, duringand post training, your energy levels and power output will be ne. Forexample, some people do cardio beore weights because there is no waythey would be able to do cardio ater weight training. Also, since theymight train rst thing in the morning, this helps to warm up aging joints
to avoid injury.
Form Over Ego!
We cannot stress enough how important it is to maintain strict

orm on all movements. This means stabilizing your body and contract-
ing your abs so you isolate the primary intended muscles. For example,when doing a standing barbell curl, tighten your abs and do not rock orswing the weight. By tightening your abs, you stabilize your body andprevent momentum. This will also help condition your abs and save yourlower back.
Rest, Dont Nap, Between Sets
We recommend 60-120 seconds o rest periods between sets. Thisallows your body to recover some o its expended ATP but is not so longthat you lose the fow o the workout. Remember, the goal is to get in andout o the weight room in 30-45 minutes.
Compound Movements Kill 2 Birds
We like to begin the workout with compound movements, or reeweight exercises targeting more than one muscle group. This is why werecommend Bench Press (chest, shoulders, triceps), Rows (back, biceps,orearms) and the daddy o them all, Squats (entire body).
No Pre-Workout Shake?
On the Cut Diet with your pre, during and post-workout Xtendand Substance WPI cocktail, you do not need a pre workout shake or aspecial pre-workout meal other than the recommended handul o cap-

sules that provide antioxidants, stimulants, nootropics, etc. that you will
nd in our recommended Cut Diet supplement plan. You simply need totrain 60-90 minutes ater one o your scheduled meals. What i you trainrst thing in the morning? Simply start sipping your Xtend and SubstanceWPI cocktail 15 minutes prior to your workout and continue sippingthroughout your weight training and cardio. This is all you need!
I you do not have Xtend, you can sip on Whey Protein Isolateduring training and then consume one to two scoops (40 grams) o WheyProtein Isolate immediately post workout. Eat your next scheduled meal30-45 minutes ater your workout.
When do I eat or training?
We recommend eating rst thing in the morning to get the body
cranking. Breakast is the most important meal o the day. Get up, washyour ace, go to the bathroom and start making breakast. Every mealthereater should be two to three hours apart. So i you get up at 5am thenyour meals will look like this:

As or scheduling training, we recommend planning your meals
so that one o your meals is 60-90 minutes beore you workout (PRE-WORKOUT MEAL) and then the next meal in line is 45-60 min aterthe workout. This is assuming that you have your Xtend/Substance WPIcocktail during training. I you dot not have Xtend/Substance WPI dur-ing training, then we recommend a PWO shake o whey protein isolate/whey protein concentrate immediately ollowing your workout. Thenwithin 60-75 minutes, eat your next scheduled meal.

As we have stated, the goal is to continually uel the body andallow it to recover. We hear constant debate over what the best pre andpost workout options are and rankly, we like to give the body what itneeds during training; ample amino acids with an abundance o BCAAs,
Glutamine and the proven perormance enhancer, Citrulline Malate. Thisis why we ormulated Xtend. No Xtend? Dont worry, just take WheyProtein Isolate post workout. Remember, it is not the pre-workout mealthat uels your workout; it is the many meals the days prior that uel yourtraining and recovery.

What i I Miss a Workout?
I you miss a workout, simply work your schedule so you get backon track. Do not skip a workout! This program is based on training eachmuscle group as prescribed or optimal results. For example, i you missan arm workout on Friday, simply train arms on Saturday then train yourshoulders on Sunday. You will then be on track and ready to go on Mon-day!
Strength Versus Bodybuilding
I you are a strength athlete or a perormance athlete, you needmovements perormed in training to translate to your sport. Bodybuild-ing is about growing deeply dened, etched muscle, not perormance.
We know that you must condition a muscle, strengthen it and then buildit. This process takes time. However, the body also adapts very well. Werecommend a 15-16 week training program (split routine hitting eachbody part once per week and allowing recovery, which is highly notarizedby bodybuilders) that will condition, strengthen and build your muscleswhile on the Cut Diet. It is known in the Exercise Science realm that rep-etitions lower than ve are designed solely or strength and power. Muscle
growth (hypertrophy) is ound in the 8-12 rep range. These are the twoextremes. Meaning that i, hypothetically, 100% o strength is ound inreps ve or below and 100% growth is ound in reps 10-12, then its saeto say that strength and growth can be attained (not 100% o each) at reps6-10. This is our ocus. We divide the routine into our week categories:

Week 1: Conditioning
Week 2: Growth/StrengthWeek 3: Strength/GrowthWeek 4: SHOWTIME.
Weeks 1-4: Conditioning
During the Conditioning weeks, our rep ranges are 12-15 and we
perorm three to our sets or all upper body and lower body work. Thegoal is to adjust the weight (increase the load (weight) as the volume (reps)decreases) to get 12-15 reps on every exercise. Rest 60 seconds betweensets.
Week 1The goal is to handle a weight and rep range that allows or completion o15 reps or three to our sets.
Week 2The goal is increase the weight but drop the reps to 12.
Week 3
The goal is to increase the weight and increase the reps to 15.
Week 4The goal is to increase the weight again, but drop the reps back to 12. Byvarying our weight and reps we essentially are tricking our bodies into get-

ting major results that are not capable rom old training regimes. We are
promoting a new type o athlete that is in control o his body and whosetraining allows or complete development o muscle density, tone, deni-tion, symmetry, and superior strength
Weeks 5-8: Growth/Strength
During the Growth/Strength weeks, our rep ranges are six to tenand ve to six sets or all upper body and lower body work. The goal is toadjust the weight (increase the load as the volume decreases) to get six toten reps on every exercise. Rest 60-90 seconds between sets.
Week 1The rep range will be ten reps or ve sets.
Week 2The goal is to increase the weight, but you must get eight reps or ve sets.
Week 3
The goal is to increase the weight, but you must get six reps or ve sets.
Week 4The goal is to increase the weight and to increase the sets, but you mustget eight reps or six sets.

Our philosophy or this program is to stimulate the muscle ber
to recruit more muscle bers quickly. By increasing the muscle berdensity and recruitment patterns we are creating growth in the muscle.With the increase o growth, we now have the ability to increase strengththrough greater muscle ber recruitment. When this happens, growthoccurs more rapidly due to muscle ber recruitment and strength gains.This allows us to perorm a higher load volume or training.
Weeks 9-12: Strength/Growth
During the Strength/Growth weeks, our rep ranges are our to sixand perorm ve to six sets or all upper body and lower body work. Rest2 minutes between sets.
Weeks 1 and 2The goal is to adjust the weight (decrease the load as the volume increases)to get our reps on every exercise.
Weeks 3 and 4The goal is to maintain the same weight but increase the reps to six andperorm six sets.
By having a higher level o strength we are able to increase thering pattern o the muscle allowing or greater muscle ber recruitmentand coordination that will allow or greater symmetry and tone o themuscle prior to SHOWTIME. This will allow or a greater looking bodyas we go into the nal stages o our training.

Weeks 13-16: SHOWTIME!
During the SHOWTIME weeks, our rep ranges rise considerablyso we can urther get the conditioned look and etched muscle. Our totalreps get up to between 25 and 30 per set ater a heavier set o 8-10 reps.The reason or this is to maximally stimulate the muscle bers and thento drop the weight and deplete all glycogen in the muscle. This will ensurethat when we have our Carb Up or the show, your muscles will super-compensate and will be ull and hard. Rest 60 seconds between sets.
Week 1
The goal is to adjust the weight (decrease the load as the volume increases)to get 12-15 reps on every exercise.
Week 2
The goal is to get 8-10 reps on every exercise.Week 3
The goal is to get 8-10 reps on every exercise with a dropset to total 25-30total reps on last set o each exercise.
