Hi guys,
Hopefully you can help me out here! First I will give you a little background on what I have been doing.
From 2003 - 2004 I trained regular at least 4-5 times a week mainly concentrated on weight lifting but not much cardio I weighed 200 pounds with 18% BF. In late 2004 I had an injury to my tricep which took me out for a month or so and after that my gym partner changed jobs and therefore we couldnt train at the same time. So... I became lazy and give the gym up (I know this wasnt the best idea) Now we are in 2006 and I have tried to get back to the gym but give up after about a month or so, Ive been on the Atkins Diet to help shift some flab but now my body looks the worst it has done for years.
My current stats are as follows:
Age: 25
Height: 5ft 8"
Weight: 210lbs
Waist: 36"
BF: No idea but would say in the early 20's
So I have finally decided its time to get myself sorted and at least get some kind of a body that doesnt repulse people! There is nothing more upsetting in my opinion than someone you know passes comment on your weight (by weight I mean FAT). I know I have become fat and its not doing me any favours.
Unfortunately cash is major problem for me at the moment so I have had to let my gym membership go, however a friend of mine is moving house and has donated his full gym equipment to me although its not as good as the stuff in the gym it has everything you need (really appreciate this great friend of mine).
Basically I need help as I am hopeless and trying to find a way to get my diet right with my training. I am planning on weight training Mon, Wed & Fri and Cardio Tue & Thurs. I will do my upmost to stick to this as my job can be quite demanding I am a field engineer and can be anywhere in the UK at any one day. Because of this I feel its vital I get the right diet that works around my job I am willing to stick to a diet plan as best as I can, I know I must try to eat about 6-7 meals a day as I do tend to be on the road alot I think Meal Replacments might be the key to success.
If anyone can suggest a diet plan & possibly a training plan to follow I would really appreciate it. I want to focus on losing the flab and toning up! One other thing I must point out is that I am on a budget so need to ensure what ever the diet plan consists of I can get hold of relatively cheap and is available in a supermarket or as close as. Last but not least I do suffer from IBS so need to be careful that what I do eat doesnt trigger it off.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this thread and I look forward to your replies.
