Zxe,
I used the old "cheated on, lied to, and dumped" diet... I was a real wreck at the time and am one of those people who cannot eat when they're upset. (We were together for 12 years, house, cars, pets, etc. all down the tubes and I didn't see it coming...)
As far as my actual food intake, it was really strict... I kept it to survival levels;
Breakfast: Slimfast every other day, 3oz yogurt over whatever fruit was there (an apple, an orange, whatever) on the opposing days.
Lunch: Slimfast or a 6oz salad or 8 oz steamed veggies Plus a small protein shake (one scoop designer protein in a 1/2 pint carton of non fat milk or water)
Dinner: 1 chicken breast, stripped of all visible fat and pounded flat with any sort of dressing like italian or barbeque (No cheese or oils) Plus 6 oz mixed green salad (no dressing) or 8 oz steamed veggies
Other dinner protien sources: 1 can water packed Tuna dry, twice a month a 4oz prepackaged filet mignon, grilled, 4oz Healthy choice sliced turkey
At the end of the weight loss, I added two more small protein shakes between meals, because I could see that my body was cannibalizing all the muscle tissue. It helped.
The workout was patterend after the old circuit workouts; max reps at max weight to failure, with 30 seconds or less recovery between body parts. Bench press, leg press, military press, hamstring curls, bicep curls... all the way through the circuit... full body every day. I guess that pattern has an aerobic quality to it... but it worked. I did it 6 days a week.
I have to add that I am not advocating that anyone wanting to retain their muscle mass try this! I was in a bad state of mind at the time, and unless I regimented exactly what I was going to eat, I couldn't eat.
Anyone know how many calories that diet would be?
