my cutter

[easy]

Good job on losing fat, but you need to keep going for awhile and drop the parties on the weekend. Alcohol will slow fat loss like you wouldn't believe. Try dropping the binges on the weekend and see how much better you look and feel in about a month. JMO.

No drinking anymore. I put down the PBR for a while. Just eating whatever I can find on the weekends. I'm gonna cut back my weekend glutony to just saturdays and see what that does. I go fairly low carb during the week so my body needs some love on the weekends. It also gives me somthing to shoot for. If I make it good thru the week then I deserve a day of HIGH GI.....

easy, can you post a typical day of your diet? one for 3000 cals and one for 2500 cals. thanks

pintoca, can you do the same? one for low carb and one for high carb. i found one in spanish, but i do not speak the exotic tongue . thanks

3000 day

wake up 4:30pm (I work nights)- cardio

5:30pm shake and 1/2 turkey sandwich on wheat + 1 tb natty pb + 1 cup sugar free jello
7:30pm shake and 1/2 turkey sandwich on wheat + 1 tb natty pb + 1 cup sugar free jello
8:00pm work out
9:00pm pwo shake with 1/3 cup dextrose + 1 banana
11:00pm shake and 1/2 turkey sandwich on wheat + 1 tb natty pb + 1 cup sugar free jello
1:30am shake and 1/2 turkey sandwich on wheat + 1 tb natty pb + 1 cup sugar free jello
4:00am shake and 1/2 turkey sandwich on wheat + 1 tb natty pb + 1 cup sugar free jello
7:00am 2 tbs natty pb
7:45am bed

sandwiches are 1 pc sliced turkey on 1 pc whole grain wheat.
shakes are 2 scoops EAS myopro. 180 cals - 8 carbs

macros = 2908 cals - 73g fat - 240 carbs - 316g prot

2000 - 2500 cal days = no lift

meals at same times. no pwo shake. no banana. only 3 p wheat bread. somtimes I'll throw in a steak or a can of tuna to get cals up to 2500.

macros = 2197 cals - 68g fat - 120g carb - 295 g prot

all and all not the best diet for cutting but like I said, I'm in it for the long haul. It seems to be getting the job done for now.

OK, here it goes my typical 2000 cals day (this is actually 6 days a week, with little variations).

7:00 am => 1/2 cup oats, 300 ml skimmed milk (0,3%), 1 tbsp Flax
10:00 am => 1 chicken breast, 1 slice whole wheat bread
01:00 pm => 1 can tuna, 300 grs mixed veggies (salad like)
04:00 pm => 1 chicken breast
07:00 pm => 200 grs white fish, 50 grs low fat ricotta, 2 tbsp Flax
10:00 pm => PWO shake: 50 grs whey, 20 grs dextrose, 20 grs Maltodextrin

Variations to this are following:

for cardio days, I replace the PWO shake for a meal, normally chicken breast or steak

I replace also frequently my 1:00 pm meal for chicken and 1 cup brown rice.

for lifting days, I accomodate a chicken breast after lifting...

now a typical 2500 cals (high day for me is like this, this is my carb up)

7:00 am => 1 cup shredded wheat, 300 ml skimmed milk (0,3%)
10:00 am => 1 chicken breast, 2 slice whole wheat bread
01:00 pm => 1 chicken breasts, 2 yams or sweet potatoes, or normal potatoes (what I have)
04:00 pm => Protein Shake (36 grs prot, 14 gr Carb). 1 tbps Flax
07:00 pm => 1 chicken breast, 1 slice Whole wheat bread
10:00 pm => 100 grs Chicken ham, 2 slice whole wheat bread and 50 grs ricotta...

Everyday I take Calcium, Multivitamin, Iron, Vitamin C

That is it, could be much better, nutritious, or nicer... but it works and takes little time to get it done.

Man, if it works it works, and I am sure you know that a diet based on shakes and turkey sw is not the most balanced one you could do... However, since you work nights, you may find a way to get the cooking done once a week or something.

At least, in the meantime pop some vitamins.

We are all in this to loose fat, but also to remain healthy while doing so. As you said, for the long haul, you have to follow a diet that looks "normal" to the "casual onlooker". The more normal it is, the easier it will be to stick with it (what you gonna do if you get an invitation for dinnner??? ). Besides, sure you are getting bored of the shakes... they don't have infinite flavors...

Anyway, keep up the good work, and make sure you are getting all your vitamins.

Preplan and freeze and you can do ANYTHING! Check the 'flavors' thread, no need to survive on damn near shakes alone.. and you colon will NOT dig you when you go back into the light.

The other point to remember is that the almost instant bioavailability is NOT the answer to the most rapid fat loss.. MAKE YOUR BODY WORK FOR THE NUTIENTS.. you gotta eat real foods, m8.

Hey drinking really slows down lossing fat? What about a six pack on saturday night? Im just curios because i can really think when i go out and drink i can kinda feel that ive put on some weight and i really feel it slowing me down! Damn i got to put down the booz!

 

[sublime35]

Its prolly the excess calories that have made you put on some weight. a six pack is like what? around 650 cals depending on what type. thats about a pound every 1.5 months. But yeah something bout alchohol that its stops metabolization of everything else. Dont hold me to that but i think thats what it is.

WORD.... I'm the poster child for Pabst in my first pic. Beer will put weight on you like nothin else. especially when mixed with a diet of pizza and hot wings. Oh well. It was fun then but I'm paying for it now.
