and put on 0.5kg. not much...but shouldnt i lose mass (even if its water) if my carbs are under 20g?
weird..but hey, i still love this diet (mixing mod and original).
my pro was probably a bit lower than usual (usually around 200g)...but i wasnt doing weights this w/end..just some cardio. my fat was high..about 60-70g.
i guess i should get my bf% tested to see what the deal is..?
This diet is on track. got tested today. Came in @ 5'8" 237 lbs. @ 10% bf. The show dates i have are 20 APR and 11MAY 2002. Taking in no less that 480 gr/pro/day , 50-75 gr/carb/day and 120 gr/fat/day (1/3 coming from flax oi) Any comments are advice feel free.
crum...my diet on the w/end looked something like this..am i on the right track?
m1; 1 egg, tuna, flax and green salad
m2; protein shake and flax
m3; salmon w olive oil and green vegies
m4; tuna in olive oil w green salad
m5; protein shake w almonds and flax
approx 10-20g fat per meal...too much?
Rez you're pretty much on Point as well, but I would suggest reducing the fat Just A LITTLE BIT...for example when you have Salmon..don't add the extra olive oil...salmon is fatty enough alone.... When you eat tha Almonds have maybe a 1/2 teaspoon of flax..not a whole tablespoon...just little things like that...Other wise you're doing fantastic...Great job guys.
Just think of how Powerful you'll feel once you accomplish your goals.
i know crum..i already feel sooo much better...more in control. i know that i dont have to b 100% exact w this diet as long as the ratio and grams are pretty much equal to your suggestions.
the flax i have kept to 10mls (1 teaspoon) only which is 10g fat. so i think i am ok with the fat content on low-zero carb days.
wondering about incorporating dairy? I havent had it in ages and thinking i might add some yellow cheese on no carb days as a fat/pro source and cottage cheese on the mod diet (eg last meal before bed). I dont have milk, and thinking my calcium levels are pretty low. Should i forget this idea and just take a cal. supp?
Calcium supp is something you should take, specially since you're a Girl. If you want to incorporate Dairy, some good ol' chedder cheese is somewhat okay if you have it once in a while on tha Original diet...just don't go overboard on it... personally I would avoid the cheese while on the Original diet. Remember it's only 8 weeks.
ill take the supp...
but im doing the mod diet...thats not as restrictive. ie i could last on it more than 8 weeks, and intend too.
I want to know one thing though..i was considering 'bulking' in winter..is it necessary to do so. or can this mod diet be a diet for-all-yr-round? Im too scared of putting on fat and not being able to drop it if i do a bulking cycle
