Realistic amount of weight to lose per month

[solrosenberg]

I assume his Myoplex shake is a meal replacement one which I think these are in which case there would be sufficent carbs in this for use at this time after a workout wouldn't you think?

Yes, the Myoplex is an EAS meal replacement shake ( 42 grams of protein ) . I am almost out, so I will be ordering some whey and weight gainer ( I usually only use a couple scoops of the gainer instead of the recomended 4 to keep the calories low, and add a couple scoops of the whey )

Also, the muscle milk is an rtd. I hate to skip the banana, it seems like that is the only thing from making me even hungrier. I will look into the oats as someone suggested. Anything is better than the Mcdonnalds 3 stack of pancakes and 2 things of syrup I was eating before , lol. I really do feel like I am starving myself, and I know this isn't good because of muscle breakdown. The bread is 100% whole wheat, and the turkey is lean turkey from local grocery store. The dinner is a decent amount of chicken ( 8-10 oz ). I am not obese by any stretch, but the time has come to lose my stomach and get in better shape. I hope I can somehow keep most of my muscle though. I had a hard time figuring out the calorie counter when I tried before.

Thanks again for the advise, feel free to add more .

100 % whole wheat is just a label, it doesn't mean it is healthy, just as getting veggie food or health food shop food doesn't mean it is healthy or good for you.

I have a request that you get your bread and type out the ingredients.

I have used bread in a BBing diet, and while I am not in the same country, it is really, really difficult to find decent bread.


I don't know what an rtd is.

Yes, but I think a proper meal is adviseable after training.

Yes I agree. Something like Roast Turkey sandwich/sub on whole wheat with lots of veggies.

RTD is a 'ready to drink' meal replacement. It's great for on the run. The Myoplex brand has 42 g's of protein, but they are around $4.00 each. That's about the best I can for breakfast since I am in a huge hurry after doing cardio for 30 min. Interesting about 'whole wheat' bread. I never would have imagined that. What should I be looking for in the ingredients, because turkey and tuna sandiwiches are a main part of my lunches.

Also, I am not looking to be in contest shape or anything, I just want my stomach to be respectable. Is what i am doing going to get me there ?

That you are doing cardio and resistance work/weights, yes, great.

Training intensity is also something to consider. There is a difference between going through the motions and pushing yourself to failure, going through the pain.

Your diet needs some work

1. I would start to eat more, check your calories, work out how many you need as I think that you are probably doing a starvation diet which only works for about 5% of the population or the morbidly obese. For people with just a bit of fat to lose who train seems to have fat loss slow down, stresses the body. The rebound off the diet can be quite bad as well, as after starving yourself the physiology and psychology is such that most people gain back all the weight/fat plus more.



2. I would work on eating more whole natural foods, loads of veggies, fruit, healthy fats, whole eggs, some fish and a bit of red meat. Some low fat dairy like skimmed milk and cottage cheese is great. Really, the changes have to be permanent.

3. Have a proper breakfast. Oats are dead easy, I had oatmeal with whey protein for brekkie every day, even when I am travelling.

When I was in New York, I would get up, do fasted cardio, and then make oatmeal with whey protein in a Starbuck's coffee cup.


4. Experiment with a low carb diet. Don't do Atkins though. Something more like a Keto or cyclic ketogenic diet. The diets I have found that I think are alright are Dr. Mario ???? - the anabolic diet, Lyle MacDonald's Ultimate diet, or Dan Duchaine's body opus diet.

What are the ingredients on the rtds? I did see those when I was in the States, most had things in them like sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, and they are dreadful for the insulin response and tummy fat.

How did I do today ?

8:00 - 30 min cardio

8:45 - muscle mix rtd and a banana

11:00 - lions choice roast beef with extra beef

3:00 - early dinner , 10 oz chicken, broccoli and baked potato

7:00 - 30 min weights ( all i had time for, pretty intense 30 min though )

8:00 - tuna sandwich, 2 cans tuna, 1 tbs miracle whip light

??? Should I eat again tonight ? I am out of whey, so I don't know what I should eat.

 

[solrosenberg]

What's the deal with oats ? What are they , and how do you eat them ? Do you cook them, or add them to a shake ?

Also, what about cottage cheese ? I hate the taste. Is there anything you can add to it to make it taste better ? And what time of day do you eat it ? Is before bed ok ? I starve from 9pm on . I really need something to add to my diet around 9 or 10 pm that won't be bad . Any suggestions ?
