Help please with diet!

[Lacyp246]

I agree with trying out a new diet. Every time you tweak something you see what works and what doesn't for your body.
Right now you look in great shape. That spot below the belly button is the last to go. Its the hardest. I hate it.
I am not a big fan of Clen either. I believe its over rated. I would try a cup of green tea in the morning and another after lunch. I find it works just as well yet it is healthy and not unhealthy like Clen.
Best of luck.

Thank u! Green tea it is ! I checked out that site you mentioned and started logging foods today . Also i looked up some recipes that Jamie Eason had online and made some turkey muffins. My 8 yr old actually likes them.
Im wondering what everyones thoughts are on casein protein. I read that its a good protein to have at night. Maybe just once a day?
Another question I have is should I run in the am as soon as i wake up on empty stomach or should i have protein before?

Hey superqt,
I really like the list of "qualified foods" that you posted but wanted to ask if apples and grapefruits were also accepatable and if not, why?
Thanks!

Where they fall on the GI index is a bit high IMO

GI on most fruits are high. That said, I you are not training for a competition and have diet and training pretty dialed in, then I see little problem with fruit. Not A LOT of fruit, but it is doubtful a couple servings of fruit will reduce your results.

However, if you add fruit into a diet, there is less "wiggle room" when it comes to cheating or being lax some days. The fruit may have to be considered a type of daily cheat food.

For flat belly why don't you try some breathing exercises and belly exercises. For diet you should count calories.The number of calories intake and physical activity should be balanced.
