Freaking diet is paying off in spades

[jnevin]

If you want to drop the fat and keep any muscle, you need to be taking in at LEAST 1g of protein per lb of lbm or all you'll do is lose muscle and be skinny fat. Plus, dropping weight that fast will make you all kinds of sick. And weak.

how long you been on this diet?

brown rice, chicken breast 2x, then fruit and water. may replace one of the meals with a salad. It's not perfectly 428, more like 1000 per day i would imagine. I want to lose the fat first and then gain the muscle.

ok, I see.

I'd say you need more of your cals to come from protein, and probably more cals in general.

when I am dieting, i will usually base my caloric intake on a formula like this:

lean body weight x 10 = total cals per day

so, if your lean body weight is 160lbs, you'd be shooting for 1600 cals/day.

I'd say at this point, you are semi-starving yourself, which isn't beneficial to your metabolism

Geezuz christ you are for real @ 3k a week. Fug man.. I don't know how you have the energy to get a decent workout in.

Fructose sucks balls as a carb, BTW.


I guess if you're happy with youre results and you can live with it keep going. To each his own. No way I could do that, nor would I get the results I wanted.. you can't build any muscles on that diet -but it looks like ur looking to do that later.

I'd be doing Clen & T3 (no they are not steroids) and eating some decent food instead of being so dang low on calories.

the medical profession in general is full of shit with regard to protien requirements. . .those requirements maybe true for the average sedentary american, but if you're trying to add quality muscle to your frame (unless you only weigh 30lbs) 50 to 60 grams a day ain't gonna git er dun. . .
