My Daily Diet Tips

[NJRipped]

Since the Abs contest I attempted to start didn't go over very well I'm guessing that most of you are in need of losing 5-100lbs. If people show interest, I'll post a daily tip each day to give back everything I learned from Elite members (so far nothing but I'm still hopeful that one day I will learn something - lol).

Today's tip is to ignore your body's satiety signals and instead establish portions for each meal (based upon your daily metabolic rate). It sounds simplistic but most people consume portion amounts at each meal that, in reality, would constitute two or more meals. You will be hungry at first but eventually will adjust.

 

[chewyxrage]

can you post a sample of your diet. I would like to see how big the meals are.

a few sample meals would be good

 

[NJRipped]

I cannot post my personal diet since it will be going into my book. I will say though that it is high protein/high carb & low fat 2300k - divide that by 6 meals (no processed foods). My diet is based upon food quality and not whether I enjoy it.

Soooooo


You're posting daily tips but you won't post up your diet.




No offense, but that should go over real well.

 

[NJRipped]

Look at it this way, SC provides diet advice on this board and I'm sure he does not fully disclose his diet. As I said, if there is no interest then so be it.

Actually, you are wrong because I've posted my diet (whatever current diet I am employing at that time) and I've no problem w/it.

Posting my diet does not give any "secrets" away, as everyone is different, and what works for me is what I've found to work for me. What I give others are things that work for THEM. I am an educator/counselor who provides tools/resources for success, as I know where/when/why to do things.

Posting my current diet has no affect/relation to that whatsoever. I've 3 "base" programs, all which have many branches/extensions aka "different versions" of those being run by 100's of people. There isn't 1 solidified approach.

In any event, he said 6 pro/carb meals broken down into smaller ones I believe, so I assume that each person could simply use something like the Harris Benedict formula to figure out overall kcals, and split the meals up accordingly? I've no idea, I don't work w/that formula.

Anyhow, just wanted to reply about the personal diet posting. It all depends on what mode you catch me in, bulking/cutting/maintenance/active re-hab/etc.

[NJRipped]

I can admit when I am wrong SC. Be prepared to be inundated with PMs for your diet.

My diet is based upon a learned method to eliminate food as one of an individual's basic needs. Part of this method is using certain foods to obtain the desired effect. My diet consists of foods that may be obtained from any grocery store (so they aren't unique). Also, I eat the same thing everyday and have been doing so for three years.

[NJRipped]

I'm 5'10" 170lbs with BF levels in the low single digits which I maintain at all times - hydrostatically tested.

The book teaches the reader to no longer use food as an "activity" but rather as a fuel - it breaks the individual's addiction to food.

Good luck on your book too - it's hard work.

so what? He's told me before.......I've told him.....we've shared ideas.....relax.

 

[~SC~]

Yeah it's really no big deal people.

We all share a common interest, fitness and looking good, so why we can't all take that positivity and run w/it, I've no idea.

Nobody here has anything to "prove" to each other, we are all here because we like this lifestyle. We all do different things w/our lifestyle as well, I chose to make it my career, so we also have different goals within that lifestyle. Let who you are just radiate, and your accomplishments/help/being yourself/and eventual reputation to preceed you, is what will "prove" the person that you are and contribute to longevity! Longevity is key, longevity is me.

Peace bruthas.......

Meal 1 time!

so your writing a book about willpower? isn't there like 50,000 of those already?

 

[NJRipped]

lol Not one of those 50k books work though. It actually has nothing at all to do with willpower. I don't think that people can control their eating using willpower. It's a very easy process, the difficult part is convincing people that health & appearance are more important than food.

[JKurz1]

I'm assuming we'll be able to use the AFSdiscount code when it comes out, right?

 

[NJRipped]

Yes, the AF discount will be 25% plus you will receive one free bottle of thermolozydiazphonephenobarb - a brand new fatburner. So get your pre-orders in quickly. :0)

I'm assuming we'll be able to use the AFSdiscount code when it comes out, right?

 

[NJRipped]

Today's tip is to eat each meal at the same time everyday so you no longer eat when you're hungry but when it's time to eat. Your body will eventually expect fulfillment at a certain hour (just like Pavlov's dog to the bell).

 

[~SC~]

Not to take anything away from you bro, nor take the wind out of your sails, but that's not a tip.

That's common knowledge in the world of dieting. Even the beginning fitness enthusiast has read/heard/spoken with someone about 5-6 meals per day, evenly spaced, etc.

Just a thought.......if you want people to read your daily tips/tricks/etc., I feel those that are not mainstream concepts would probably create more of an interest. Not a flame, just constructive criticism. The pm's I've received about this are quite amusing.

Carry on!
~SC~

 

[NJRipped]

SC
No offense taken at all. As a matter of fact, challenges to my "tips" is what makes this thread interesting (as least to me).

Look at it this way: 99% of dieting advice is already out there and should be readily known. You will see the most basic of questions being asked on this diet board by individuals who are viewed as being very knowledgeable by others.

My point is this: never assume that the basic essentials of dieting are known and therefore should not be explained. This point may be proved by asking whether most individuals are following these basics of dieting. Most will probably say "yes, for the most part." I believe most are not - this is the reason obesity is so widespread.

You can delve into higher concepts such as nutrient timing but you have to realize who exactly your audience is. Most on here have a difficult time merely attempting to "get into shape" and/or maintaining an aesthetically appealing physique. Not everyone can have the body of SC.

I am also getting a TON of PM's concerning this.........no way can I answer them all, so in a blanket statement, I have no idea of the poster's credentials. All I know is what you guys have seen him post, so I can't and won't give him a referal.

As for SC, he's been around and knows his stuff. His website and pics (mags, etc.) speak for itself.

 

[NJRipped]

I'm not looking for a referral. In fact, I've received emails about personal training and specific diet advice (as opposed to general) and have always nicely declined. I always just refer them to SC. Either my book makes it to the best sellers list or it will not sell at all. In either case, I would never attempt to "hawk" it on an internet bulletin board. lol My regular work pays much too well for that.

Well, you SHOULD be looking for positive referals. Not too many go out (or very few) and purchase books (which usually aren't cheap) from a jo-schmo that no one has ever heard of or reccomends.......best sellers make it because people say "hey, go buy this book or that book, good info, reputable author, etc." that or you are familiar with other works by the same writer.....

 

[NJRipped]

Maybe you're right, I think I did read something about the authors of Atkins, SouthBeach, the Zone, etc hawking their wares on internet bulletin boards first. lol Do you think they started as "Jo-Schmo" or did they have celebrity status at birth. I am on boards such as Elite for entertainment value only.

[JKurz1]

Nope, and I never claimed you had to be a celeb...all I said was one needs "referrals" or people who have read the material, implemented the info., and have positive feedback. Let me explain in laymens terms.

John purchased Atkins book. John lost 30lbs in 6 weeks. Joan asked John how he lost so much weight. John told her to read Atkins. Joan bought atkins and lost 20lbs. Jill asked joan.............following???

You'll get far with a book on general knowledge in this day and age.....good idea. Hey, seriously good luck.

[NJRipped]

Although my book quickly recites the basics of diets, the main premise is overcoming ones addiction to food. Think about it, if you didn't concern yourself with the enjoyment any particular food, what would you eat? Of course you would eat only those foods which provided you with optimal benefits. How do you think you would feel/look after a year of eating only those foods that provided optimal benefits. Pretty damn good I must say!

[JKurz1]

AND I agree with that statement..........however, there is a way to make the food you eat every day for nutitional purposes taste good, i.e. sugar-free syrups, spices, etc....

 

[NJRipped]

This is where we disagree. As a matter of fact, it's my opinion that this is why all diets eventually fail. I've read all of the major diet authors (for comparison purposes) and they all advocate eating great tasting foods in moderation. If this was possible, obesity wouldn't be such a great problem in the US. Everyone knows they must eat in moderation. They simply cannot do it.

Then you have members of fitness boards such as Elite. Members probably have ten times the knowledge the average non-fitness oriented person has. Even with all that knowledge, they still aren't able to control their eating. As I've said, most know what foods to eat but they can't stop themselves.

I agree with you in concept for the everyday joe but I have to tell you I can make any veggie or animal flesh taste fabulous and still be within the guidelines of one's diet plan.

That said - most people are just lazy and don't want to work at put the right foods together or learn of to cook the right foods to taste good.

Yep, I can do that too......

That being said, it would be interesting to find out how to "get over" eating for taste/pleasure & to eat solely because it's fuel....

Everyone fights me on the taste issue. lol Sure you can make great tasting, very healthy foods without too much effort. But you're still addicted to great tasting food.

Let me ask you a question: Do you have the body you want or do you need some work? If you answered yes then move on, you don't need my diet. Most will answer "not yet" to that question. If you answered "not yet" then ask yourself why? You're able to cook very healthy foods that are tasty but why aren't you there yet? When, in the foreseeable future, do you expect to attain your goals? And what will you do to get to your goals?

My point is that everyone here has been trying for so long, has so much information available to them yet still have not attained their goals. I understand that people want to be optomistic but I'll tell you straight out that it won't happen. Why would it? Ok, I've rambled on enough.

There is more to life my friend.......you have to have balance....no one reading your book is going to be stepping on the Las vegas stage come October, so it's going to have to appeal to the majority of people who live to eat instead of eating to live......there are way too many great foods out there that 95% of the population are not and WILL not give up......If so, the resteraunt business would crumble, grocery stores would be a thing of the past, and the nation would falter because everyone who fails to plan would have to rush home to cook..........it ain't gonna happen. Not in your lifetime. A book, that shows people the proper way to feed their bodies, with the ingredients that taste GOOD and are ALSO GOOD FOR THEM, will be muich more lucrative in the long haul.........

Well, you're assuming I'm addicted to great tasting food. I could assume that you have control issues with food and body image - but I choose not to.

And I'm not sure why cooking healthy foods that don't taste like shoe leather is to be considered an addiction?

I "get" what you're saying but let me also point out to as someone very familiar with those with eating disorders and issues of control you might be balancing on the edge of a whole other kind of addiction (or obsession).

So be mindful how you choose to word your advice.

Otherwise, I'd be very interesting to read your book.

(not because I'm diet obsessed but because I'm reading obsessed.)

 

[NJRipped]

I knew this would come up as it always does. There is much more to life than FOOD! I know it doesn't seem that way but seriously there is. There are millions of books with so many different activities available to you that it would boggle your mind. Food is not an activity - it is a necessity of life. Treat it as such and spend your time doing much more fun/productive activities.

Why workout if you could just come home and sit in front of the tube with your hand down your pants and do your best Al Bundy imitation.




You're either dedicated and into it or you're not.
If you're eating healthy stopping by BK because you're "too tired" (lazy) you're just not into it.

why not consume food in pre-digested form through your anus? After all very bioavailable and efficient.But that's of course if you yourself is ANAL.
The other day in cafeteria I overheard two chicks arguing about tomatoes - one was claiming that certain type/growth method of tomatoes affected its sugar content (it was higher) and therefore was a poor choice for consumption.
So, umm, yea, you could buy scales with .01g error, measuring spoons/scoops and set your timer towards food intake. But you wouldn't tell anyone that because everyone would think you're anal.
I agree with Jkurz there's one, short life - healthy lifestyle is a good thing, but conditioning yourself to eat is an extreme (which 24/7/365/end-life dieting is).


Oh, and as far as this 'Daily Diet Tip' venture goes you could at least back up your shit - reiterating and dogmatizing same old claims won't sell your book. Yea, I know, we heard it all before

As one who works with 100's on customized programs, it's not reality to teach people to eat for only what they need and AVOID spices/seasonings/great tasting food. Good in theory, very bad in practice.

You can have the best of both worlds, it's all in the education and helping people to realize they can eat great tasting foods and still get ripped. It's worked for all those I assist, and I guarantee you will NEVER SEE any bland food on any program I've created. It's very easy to eat to achieve your goals and eat delicious foods, you just have to have a plan of attack, be a person who has the "fire inside" of him/her to begin with (without that forget it no matter what appproach you are trying to teach) and once the results start rolling in, everyone sees that it's entirely possible.

It all lies in the person wishing to change. The desire to change must be greater that the desire to stay the same. Period.

Truth be told, one key focal point of my VIP forum is the great tasting recipes circulating around that fit for the meals I "prescribe", and there is no reason why one cannot eat that way for the rest of his/her life and be lean/ripped/at his/her desired goal. Great tasting recipes that fit into a productive dietary approach is a huge asset in keeping someone ON their program. Eating shoe leather daily would cause many to fall off the ladder.

To have people eat bland crap the rest of their natural lives, is far from being realistic. If that's the idea you wish to get out there, keep in mind you'll have one hell of a hard time selling that concept.

I'd most certainly never touch that idea. It's all yours.

You're right, it isn't reality YET. It also isn't reality that people can eat great tasting foods and still STAY ripped. A major problem with diets is that one day the diet ends and people regress back to their regular eating patterns. I challenge you to find even three people out of the 77k people on this board who are able to stay ripped year 'round (and this is a fitness board).

I can honestly say I've been ripped for the last 3 years, 365/per......and I enjoyed every meal I ate, given 2-3 when I was ill..........

Tis why I;m changing my goals to add a little mass because I need variety.....Life is too short to skimp on the pleasures of life. Sure there are activities to do, things to see, but experimenting with the diffeent "spices" of life keep us wanting more....

You're right, it isn't reality YET. It also isn't reality that people can eat great tasting foods and still STAY ripped. A major problem with diets is that one day the diet ends and people regress back to their regular eating patterns. I challenge you to find even three people out of the 77k people on this board who are able to stay ripped year 'round (and this is a fitness board).

I stay ripped (5-7%bodyfat) year round. I find that eating clean for 6 days and then allowing one or two cheat meals on the seventh day is ideal. I eat anything i want for the cheat meals(pizza,ice cream, etc.) I find that this allows me to maintain a strict diet year round while keeping my sanity. I also am very strict about performing 30-45 min of hard cardio per day.

I am currently 5'10'' 210lbs at 6% bodyfat.

NJ. do you have a zebco404.. Your fishing. in doing my research for my current recert. in nutrition, I have been given a % for protein. It was completed by the military and RD's. what % do you prescxrbe for protein.. Be careful

 

[~SC~]

I challenge you to find even three people out of the 77k people on this board who are able to stay ripped year 'round (and this is a fitness board).

Why would I be on the hunt for these people?

That's besides, the point however.

So, let me get this straight:

3 out of 77 thousand are the only people who are able to be ripped year 'round, and have that DISCIPLINE. K, we have that figure.........

So, you want to take the remaining 69,997 people and have them eat cardboard "because it's what will get the job done", not realizing the AMOUNT of DISCIPLINE THAT would take?

How one could possess THAT discipline, yet lack the discipline to get ripped in the first place WITH foods that they could enjoy, doesn't add up.

Like I said, it's cool and people should applaud your efforts, but we're just saying that from a critique point-of-view, if it was on the drawing board we'd have to scrap that idea.

Whatever works. I guess nothing could be said until you have your figures for not only books sold, but how many of those who purchased this were actually able to make those changes. Maybe some will, you never know!

~SC~

 

[wtlftr]

NJ. post the answer. The right one.what is the max protein intake?

 

[NJRipped]

You and I went at it months ago when you should have been in your ripped state and we were each going to post verified pics - I did, you didn't, enough said.

I can honestly say I've been ripped for the last 3 years, 365/per......and I enjoyed every meal I ate, given 2-3 when I was ill..........

Tis why I;m changing my goals to add a little mass because I need variety.....Life is too short to skimp on the pleasures of life. Sure there are activities to do, things to see, but experimenting with the diffeent "spices" of life keep us wanting more....

People can stay ripped with a regular diet - thats why I suggested 3. Tell you what, lets each post verified pics now and three months from now to prove our point. What do you say - you have 40lbs more muscle.

[wtlftr]

umm. %tage. post the recommended percent of bodybuilders protein intake. The intake suggested to build muscle, while reduceing stress and will not have negative side effects, if the % is not met.

 

[NJRipped]

This board has never had so much movement since, ummm, never. 69.111% What do I look like, a parlor trick. lol I don't play the "test the monkey" game, sorry. Allow me to answer this post for you "NJRipped, you don't know shit!" hehe

umm. %tage. post the recommended percent of bodybuilders protein intake. The intake suggested to build muscle, while reduceing stress and will not have negative side effects, if the % is not met.

yep, that is what i thought. ANYONE post the correct % and getr "K" for a month

 

[NJRipped]

Hey, I was a fat bastard all my life like the 69,997 other people on here before I started this (about 15-30lbs most of my life). The point isn't about eating cardboard. The point is about prioritizing food as being low on the pole. Why does food need to be essential for a happy life? Its beginning to sound like a NAAFTA convention here. Have I all of a sudden switched over to the fat lady's board. lol

Why would I be on the hunt for these people?

That's besides, the point however.

nope, wrong. I have national certifications. I recommend the truth. I had ~SC~ give me a diet before for a change and a different point of view. He provided an insight of the BB world. Many have viewed his results. I have tested the progream and the results as well as the results from the nationally recommended dailey intake. They are close. But my results from a double blind study prove conclusive. Waiting your answer NJ

NJ - you're a pretty funn guy....funny in the sense that you think posting some pics with a camera phone and displaying them on the internet, minus the head shot, and holding a daily newspaper, will solve all. Who's to say I don't get a jacked/juiced up pro to let me take a headless shot of him holding a paper tonight???? Such b-shit. I'd be HAPPY to meet up with you and train. Absolutely extactic, and if you want to take me up on it, name the place, as I travel quit frequently for business. Hey, if you don't want to believe my current state of condition, that's on you. One thing I don't do is lie, as I value honesty and trust over everthing else....Right now I'm pretty diced. Do I care? Not really as I have been this way for quit some time. I told you my new goals and I'm sticking to my guns. Oh, and I got this way while eating foods that didn't taste like cardboard and foods that I actually looked forward to eating.

Finally, let me give you some business advice. The last thing you want to be doing is going on a website, where (as you say) there are 77,000 viewers or whatevr and ridicule (or make an attempt) people.....not too intelligent coming from someone who is trying to promote a book. You're not H.Stern, that shit doesn't work for just anybody............

 

[NJRipped]

Well, you better get a jacked up, juiced up guy that fits the description of the stats you previously stated in many other threads. Lets face it, neither of us could be described as jacked-up, juiced-up (although juiced up may fit you now - just kidding so stay calm). lol Anyone can say anything to anyone of the internet - it doesn't make it true. Pics do not necessarily prove all things but they are at least a start. What happened to the guy in this thread who claimed he stayed ripped all year 'round?

As I stated many times before, I'm not interested in "promoting" my book - just looking for occasional entertainment and attempting to understand people's need to use food as a social activity - so I can break it down.

What stats?? I've NEVER infated my stats for a second on these boards?? What's the point in lying when yo are looking for help? I've always said I was too skinny for my frame (for the past few years) although stil realitvely strong and cut, so it hasn';t bothered me too much. 6'2 185-190, 6-8% is where I've been for awhile now....never claimed anything different. Yes, I have been sub 5% and couldn't stand how I felt, I've also been closer to 8. Plus, the fact that you think I'm juiced cracks me up. Yes, I've pondered and yes I have access to the gear, but I'm clean. That's the truth.

I'm confused. You are going to spend all this time and $ on your book, yet not try to promote it???? Please explain.

 

[NJRipped]

LOL Kepp up, I didn't say you inflated your stats. I said that your stats would not fit that of a juiced-up, jacked guy so you couldn't substitute his pic for yours. I really shouldn't have to explain these things to you.

My agent and the publishing company will promote it once it's finished - it's not an "E-book."

Hey NJRipped , you know you could always just burn all those fat people by the stake...
The problem is that you cannot assume that all people are fat because of what, how and quantity they eat. You whole thread is based on generalizations and stereotypes that people are fat because they just can't stop eating. As far as the taste issue , well you're just wrong. People are going to eat food that tastes good diet or no diet. But I will agree with you that to a certain extent that some people are fat for the same reason they are in debt.

People cannot delay satisfation.

Americans must have it now. Therefore delaying your satisfaction for high caloric or high fat content foods or your need for that new car will save you. But you still haven't posted any diet that you do and broke it down in terms of macronutrients or times that the food should be eaten. What can you cook? Or a better question would be do you have any recipies of what you cook? I've never seen a diet without examples of how to cook healthy food.

A low bodyfat % is almost an obsession to you but it would be really funny to see you lose a race, vertical leap test, or pushups in 1 minute to a fat guy A good way poeple like this lose that attiude is to get beaten badly.

 

[NJRipped]

I must commend you for a very thoughtful post.

It's true, I haven't broken down the macronutrients or timing of my diet. You're probably thinking - here he goes again, doesn't want to reveal his diet. In my opinion, most (not all) of timing/macronutrients theory doesn't come into play.

Do you think that I just happened to hit upon the perfect macronutrients and timing of my diet by accident? Or maybe I just have great genetics despite the fact that I was overweight almost all of my life.

I've changed around the timing and macronutrients of each meal and take a guess as to what change occurred? None!

Eating quality unprocessed food is similar to intaking steroids - it will have an amazing effect. Why is this not known? Because no one has had the ability to strictly control their eating - until my book comes out.

Sorry, but that's a loaded statement if I've ever read one!! I have to raise the huge bullshit flag on this one.

This may come as a surprise to you, so brace yourself as the truth may hurt, but there are thousands who can control their eating right now, long before your precious book comes out.

You really took away from whatever credibility you had with that pompous statement. Perhaps you should read that over and over again to see just how idiotic that really sounds. You can ill-afford to utilize inclusion of such slippery-slope statements in your "best seller".

It's amazing how quickly this post grew and turned extremely negative...

NJ, I agree that breaking the addiction to junk is something a lot of people don't have the willpower to do. It's easy to slide back into it as soon as you work your way out. I think your thoughts about always eating clean will be inspirational to people as it has been to me. Full-out cheat days only forced me to take a step backward unless I had been on a strict calorie deficit for the week. However, being a social person, I simply cannot avoid all processed food 365 days/year.

I guess my point is, perhaps people who buy the book and try to follow the plan may not succeed in being as strict about it as you are, but it may be a means of inspiration for them if nothing else. A lot of the "diet books" don't cover anything about breaking the addiction. I think EVERYONE that has responded to your post agrees that that's the core issue - breaking the addiction and gaining control. Different people are inspired by different things in different ways. Simply because you may think NJ's plan is ridiculous doesn't mean his approach is useless.

In addition, I was sort of thinking along the same lines as Velvett. I wasn't aware that you (NJ) had been very overweight for most of your life. It does make me wonder if food has been an obsession to both extremes for you. It seems that often times, people who lose tons of weight subscribe to ONE plan and fail to accept other ways of losing weight/being healthy/staying in shape. The people on the Atkins diet are notorious for that, as well as Dr. Phil's clan, and probably Jared from Subway (granted, he is getting paid a ton of money).

To conclude my essay, let's take off our blinders and realize that we're all extremists. When extremists are convinced of a "right way", there is no swaying them. Instead of getting angry because you don't agree, why not agree that if you're working to inspire someone to get off their ass and learn about nutrition and exercise (no matter the plan) that there is SOMETHING good coming out of it.

Sorry if this sounded like I'm trying to be a happy peacemaker or something, I just think the run-on post of everyone telling everyone else they're wrong is wearing itself out

[jstrick2]

NJ, I don't know much about anything.....thats obvious, but as a person just glancing over many of your posts you seem to be a joke. Tear me up if you like, but every single one of your posts is packed with pats on the back for you, kudos to yourself, and then you throw in a halfassed theory.

Maybe if you came off a little less arrogant, or actually used more information/data to back any of it up it would help, but I doubt it. I know you can't go spouting your "crazy trade secrets" as you do have "the book" coming out and all, but seriously you have to give more than general half-assed attempts at improving on the "old eat healthy and live right statements"

Take this as you want to, but just because this works for you really means nothing. Anyone can come up with general info and a slight theory which they try to call their "own". I am sure you are the first, no person has ever tried to help people with addictions.

This post sounds amazingly negative and I didn't actually mean it to be that way so I will stop. Until you post up something remotely resembling "sound advice" that isn't plastered with a "oh man I am SO totally sweet" type vibe, I think I will get my advice from people that know more.

You will notice that most of the time those who know more are also the most humble sounding and most approachable. Where does that place you NJ?

I only said this because when I first started reading your stuff I thought you were a big guy who I could learn from. I then started reading more of your posts and it seems you only want to agree on what YOU think is correct. You also use language. No need for that. I do agree I was slightly immateur. You do have some good ideas. I apologize if I offened you.

 

[gjohnson5]

I must commend you for a very thoughtful post.

What else would you exect from someone of extraordinary intellect such as myself

It's true, I haven't broken down the macronutrients or timing of my diet. You're probably thinking - here he goes again, doesn't want to reveal his diet. In my opinion, most (not all) of timing/macronutrients theory doesn't come into play.

That's fine if you don't feel that the body doesn't process macronutriends more efficiently during certain times of the day , but I'm sure I could find some scientific evidence to refute that.

Do you think that I just happened to hit upon the perfect macronutrients and timing of my diet by accident? Or maybe I just have great genetics despite the fact that I was overweight almost all of my life.

I don't think either. I commend you on being able to lose your weight. You have never mention what weight you started at. But is your book designed for an obese audience trying to loose the weight you did or is this designed for people already with low bodyfats in an attempt at maintenance? One of my college friends was 5'7 and 140 3% (from the calipers) bodyfat and he never workedout or ran. He had asthma but you aren't making mention of anything about the state at which you start your diet, so I think your issues on this thread are flawed from the get go.

I've changed around the timing and macronutrients of each meal and take a guess as to what change occurred? None!

Eating quality unprocessed food is similar to intaking steroids - it will have an amazing effect. Why is this not known? Because no one has had the ability to strictly control their eating - until my book comes out.

I'm sure you have the ability by waving your magic wand to rid the world of its obesity problem.... I'll be waiting to see the end results of your immense literary prowess.

NJripped, i think ive seen better "diet tips" on late night tv by tony little.

 

[stan84]

It sounds as though NJ's book is going to be filled with basic food control information. While this information is probably too basic for most on Elite it may play well to the masses, the uninformed obese population. This ignorant population is where the money is. Dr. Phil, 6 second abs, etc are proof that you can get rich with an idea that "may" work for some.

 

[NJRipped]

LOL Most of you need to stop taking this so seriously. Remember, I'm here for entertainment value so many of my posts, and the arrogant way in which they are conveyed, are intended to amuse you. If they don't, that's ok because they amuse me.

Ashley
Where've you been? I really don't expect people to accept the premise of eating to fuel the body automatically. It will not happen on this board and may never happen (even with my "great" book which may end up in the .99c book rack). lol As far as my weight problem all of my life, I was only 15-30lbs overweight. At most my waist size was a 34 where now it is a loose 32. Now, as I kid I was a fat bastard.

My diet may absolutely be seen as extreme and obsessive by most today. Someday I hope that I'm able to change people's perceptions of food and see it for what it is - not a means of entertainment (that's what Elite is for) but as nourishment for the body.

JKrew
You're welcome to post. It cracks me up when you go through one of your temper tantrums. lol It also lightens the mood. You can't leave now.

Jstrick
The above should explain some of my behavior. I'm not looking to be one of the "helpful bros" looking to become a "mod." I have neither the time nor the inclination. I'm not even looking for karma or furthering future book sales - shocking I know. As far as my book goes, it's not really a "diet book" but a METHOD for breaking the food addiction. I'm certainly not going to reveal my methods for doing this (even to the good bros - lol).

Okay then, you sound a whole lot more like me than what I was thinking. I was always chunky but you'd never look at me and think "Holy Fatness!"

Where have I been? Well, without being too long-winded, I just got sick of these forums. I got sick of people asking the same questions that were just asked on a previous post. I got sick of people not doing any research before they type. I found a few of amazing women on the Women's BB board and I think they are great. Unfortunately, they spend most of their time answering questions from girls who refuse to eat and think lifting and protein powder will make them skinny. Or from a foreign woman who is constipated and feels the need to post about her lack of shits ten times on two forums...

So much for not being long-winded I think I'm going to get beaten up for this post, but hey, that's what this whole thread is about right? Beating people up is the theme - have at me!

P.S. I feel renewed and refreshed and ready to dig in again... until I feel I need another vacation... this thread makes me want another vacation... after all of that, people are STILL ripping each other apart like a bunch of 13 year olds... or like Cheney and Edwards in the debate the other night...

 

[NJRipped]

I think the constant sameness of the questions (What MRP is best?; What before bed meal? etc) has slowly killed the diet board. And people are too lazy to at least find the most basic of preliminary info before asking a question or even totaling their calories. I can't believe members waste their time even answering these question over and over. I pretty much just read the title and roll on by.

Todays tip is to prepare most of your meals one week in advance so that, for the most part, you can just re-heat or microwave it to be ready in just minutes. This will ensure that you won't be tempted to indulge in unhealthy foods. Also, bring a back-up meal with you when you think that its possible that you might miss a meal - otherwise you'll stip at Mickey D's for a burger because you're hungry. I always carry a mini-meal in my briefcase - takes up very little room.

That annoying, ponytailed freak is a genius. Like I said, appeal to the masses and you can make a fortune whether or not the idea works. They buy all this stuff just to be able to say they are doing something about their weight.

That's the problem with my "diet." The masses are totally against it.

no need to offend that guy who had poor grammer and spelling. That was just a dirtbag thing to do. Saying "you have an american flag in your profile but can you even speak the primary language their?" that was just not called for. Maybe English isn't his primary language.

Why all the negativity? Here's a pic from today (the lighting is poor since it's getting darker much earlier these days).

OK , this answers the question of wheather you cook or not. The answer is no. If I'm gonna take an hour to cook a chicken parmesan for instance , I am not going to cook it, put a straight out of the oven dish, piping hot melted parmasean cheese dripping all down the pot and put it in the fridge for a week. The best time to eat is right out the oven....

I'm going to ask Emril or K-Paul or the Brennans or Wolfgang Puck if they cook and then put a newly cook dish in the fridge for a week. If you have 2 refrigerators maybe that would make a little sense. If I posted that question on a public forum , I'm sure that question would get the hell flamed out of it.

So a person who doesn't cook probably doesn't know the differnce in the use of say peanut oil , olive oil , safflower oil , or enova oil
He probably also doen't know what the phrase "extra virgin" means either.

How can you give healthy cooking tips when you don't cook?

I also am through here.

I mean as lean as you are I would expect an 8 pack - is your diet not strict enough for that or what?

One hilarious thread about absolutely nothing productive.

This "could be beneficial" thread didn't have a bonafied leader to make it so.

Just as with the upcoming elections, choose wisely!

You know , I just threw out some boiled shrimp. Big waste of money, but gained fuinny taste to them. Then I just realized something about the shrimp. They had been sitting in my refrigerator for a week

I'm not providing "healthy cooking" instructions - just healthy eating tips. And if you are "through here" why did you post again?

LOL. The only way I'll have an 8-pack is if we resurrect Fonz and his great photoshopping skills. Actually, genetics determine whether you will have a 4/6/8 pack. Hey, at least I don't have a 2pac. lol

There you go again, taking this thread too seriously. If you found it hilarious then I did my job. Everyone here pretty much knows how to diet and what foods to eat. For the most part, most people join gyms, retain your diet services or log onto these boards so that at the end of the day they can tell themselves they are making an effort at improving themselves. If someone was truly interested in improving their physique, they would simply eat quality whole foods at their metabolic rate (or less if they desired to lose weight).

Here is the question they need to ask themselves. When can I reasonably expect to attain my diet goals? My guess is that most will say in about 6 months. To that I respond: Realistically, what will change in the next 6 months that will bring about this change and why has it not happened in all of the previous years of your life? For most it will never happen. It takes a drastic change to permanently attain your goals.
