Please Help Diet Advice

[man_with_plan]

Hi guys long time since I last posted, need some help please.

First things first stats:

Age: 23
Height: 5ft 8in
Weight: 203lbs
BF: 28% (roughly)
Gender: Male

Right basically I stopped my training about 6 months ago due to a damaged wrist it has taken me all this time to get it back to normal!!. So over that time I have become lazy and managed to get quite a large stomach. What I need is a diet I can stick to which will help me lose this stomach and get back in shape.

I have one main problem I suffer with severe IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) so eating meals regularly seems to make me suffer, but can be tackled with peppermint oil.

What I need to know is what kind of diet do I need to look into in order to shift this excess weight and get me looking ok again. I hope to get back in the gym at the end of the month and maybe look into doing 45mins cardio 3 times a week.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Post up your current diet, being as specific as possible about quantities and timing.

Beginning a cardio plan is definitely a step in the right direction (pardon the pun).

Ive been reading Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle which has some great advice I am planning on having a go with the following. I know now my main problem is I just dont eat regularly enough. I have always been in the mindset the less calories you eat your bound to lose weight, which Ive gathered from reading on here as well as the e-book isnt the case.

So... from starting Monday this will be my diet.

7.30am - Breakfast

1 x Bowl of Shredded Wheat with Skimmed Milk

10.30am - Mid Morning Snack

1 x Meal Replacement Shake

12.00pm - Lunch

4 x Slices of Wholemeal Bread
1 x Tin of Tuna
1 x Tablespoon of low fat mayonaise
1 x Protein Bar

3.30pm - Mid Afternoon Snack

1 x Meal Replacement Shake

6.30pm - Evening Meal

1 x Baked Potato
Half a Tin of Low Fat Baked Beans
1 x Tin of Chopped Tomatoes

Thats it! Evening meal will vary but be about the same calories etc. What do you think? Is it worth adding in another meal to make the total 6?

Thanks guys

How many cals is that? if you follow Venuto's advice then you know you need to:
1. Count cals
2. Know what macronutrients ratios you are using
3. Implement Carb-cycling (zig-zag) and cals tapering

Maybe you haven't finished the book yet?

I must admit I did rally through it got the basic concept do need to read in more depth. Cals = roughly 2000 I am going to re-calculate tonight to make sure I havent missed anything out.

The idea of zig-zagging is something I will implement.

Thanks for your time pintoca
