"quick fix" cutting diet or beach diet

[plornive]

Since this lowers your metabolism, when you start eating "regularly" (still good diet, but not as low of calories) will your metabolism be so slow that you gain back more than you started with? Will the low metabolism be permanent or long-term after? or will it bounce back?

It should initially increase fairly quickly. It will still be lower than before you were lean, because metabolism is somewhat related to fat mass. It will not be permanent.

The hardest part will be controlling your appetite afterwards, not any long-term downregulation of metabolism.

It is a good idea to only do this diet for a short period of time.

so what would a day of dieting look like to someone that is 6'4" with 13.5% bf? want to get down to single % bf in about 4 wks. currently on crumb diet!

only eat 1 gram per pound of LEAN BODY MASS in protien

eat like a cheap veggie i would reccomend steamed cabbage. its cheap and easy to fix and you can eat alot of it and doesnt taste too bad kinda refreshing. try to go for 1 and 1/2 at the least to 2 heads of cabbage a day.

this is kinda like the crums diet but without post workout carbs and less fat and less protien. you may be scared hearing less protien but its not needed because extra protien just turns into glucose or like a carbohydrate.

just eat all your protien from lean chicken tuna lean steak lean fish. just figure out the total amount of protien your getting and you will be fine.

water is the main thing drink big pissloads of it

If one is really anal like me and wants #'s to work with taking your Lean Body Mass x 5 works for total calories. Get 1g protein per lb. LBM and multiply that by 4 to get protein cals. Subract total cals - protein cals, this gives you fat cals. Divide this by 9 to get g of fat. This works out to 80%protein/20% fat and works very well. This is basically the same plan but more specific for those who need more regimen, like me. Get most fat from fish oils, this should be beneficial as well.

Anyone given this a try yet?

so what would a the weekly workout look like on this diet?

 

[Toshendin]

Okay, I've figured the numbers and such out. Is this correct?

14 years old, 5'10 160lbs, roughly between 13-15% BF. Therefore my LBM is around 130, yes?

Total Cals= 650
Protein Cals = 520 = 130g of Protein
Fat Cals = 130 = 14.4g of Fat

Is that right?

The one who was asking about the workout, I've set mine up like this, but I've only got a 'home-gym' so you may wish to incorporate some other types of excericises.

Going by the guidelines of 3 reps for each set, each muscle 3 times a week, and 5-6 sets per muscle, I've come up with this.

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday- Chest, Shoulders, Tri's
Chest
Flat Fly's 3x3
Flat Bench 3x3
Shoulders
Military Press 3x3
Front Raise 2x3
Triceps
Kickbacks 2x3
Skullcrushers 3x3

Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday - Back, Legs, Biceps
Back
Shrugs 3x3
Deadlift 3x3
Legs
Squats 3x3
Leg Extension 3x3
Biceps
DB curls 5x3
(May substitute a few sets for BB curls, but I just cant stand BB curls, so I decided to disclude them)

If this is helpful, you're welcome.
