General Observations:
Its been almost a month on this diet and I have yet to cheat or really want to. I am never hungry and my energy levels are very good (as the book promises). I feel fairly strong in the gym with the only problem being that by the time I am half way through cardio the fatigue starts to set in, but that's just part of the game.

The only main issue I am struggling to stay above is the lack of sleep I am getting. Because I have to stay up later to get in my last meals (around 11:30 pm at night) I am only getting around 6 hours of sleep a night. Carb loading nights are worse as the meals take 30-45 minutes to consume and you cannot hit the sack until 45 minutes later.

Supplement Changes:
I have also decided to add in an EC stack and choose to use Bulk Nutrition's Synergy. I will be using 2 caps of this twice a day, but not near my workout as I am already sweating my balls off. I have also ordered some Sesamin and will be adding this into the mix on the dosing protocol suggested by the book.
