Animal B was nice enough to suggest this great looking diet for me, after all that shit everybody said about my nutritionist (thank god you did, I would've never known). Refreshener: I want to cut up, Im 165lbs at 5'4 17%bf. Just started lifting btw, don't bitch ![]() Im 15 btw. 1) 4 whole hardboiled eggs, apple, 1 slice whole wheat Since I cannot get Isopure in France (I could order from Spain he said but still) I also asked him about what to tweak depending on my workout hours. OK! SO WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT THE DIET? Btw animal b, once again, thanks a lot man. Alright im out ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Do you have an idea as to how many calories, grams of pro, CHO and fat you will consume in a day? This may make it easier for us to critique it more closely. As far as the general idea, it looks ok. You are still young, so don't get too caught up on cutting back on your intake. Just make sure that is cleaner. In fact, not taking in enough nutrients can hinder your progress. You will find that becoming involved in an exercise program the "baby fat" will start to fall off. Good Luck, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

The baby fat comment was obviously a poor attempt at humor!! Anyway, it looks like he has set you up on basically a low CHO diet. These diets work pretty well when you want to drop the pounds. The only downfall is, they can be hard to follow at times. As you will eventually notice, it is much easier to find a CHO food source than a good source of protein when in a hurry. The brocolli (as with most green veggies) is a low glycemic CHO. If you do consume veggies (and you will want to), you will want these to be the staple of your CHO intake. Personally, the only times I will consume high glycemic foods is with breakfast and with my post workout meal/shake. This will help to spike insulin levels. Also, try to watch you CHO intake at night. I usually won't consume them after 4:00pm. Is there anything specific you wanted to know?

Yeah uh first whats the CHO stand for/? What do you mean by the staple of the diet>? THe base? The things you eat most? I have no problems with cravings...so fuck dat; Also, I *STILL* do not understand what is high glycemic! I also wanted to know that stuff about the egg whites/or whole eggs. What kind of carbs would you consume (high glycemic) before workout? WHole wheat bread/? Oatmeal? Peace ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

1. CHO = carbohydrate 2. you want mainly low-glycemic carbohydrate sources (i.e., the staple of your CHO intake) 3. High-glycemic CHO = such as candy bars, cookies, potato chips, produce a rapid increase in blood sugar levels which then causes a rise in insulin and a decrease in glucagon levels. This rapid surge in blood sugar can cause a you to feel hungry and temp you to eat more calories at your next meal. The shut down in glucagon causes the body to slow fat-burning. However, you want to spike insulin levels at certain times. Insulin helps to transport nutrients into the cells. This becomes very important after training. Your muscles are depleted and the insulin helps transport amino acids and various nutrients in to the muscle cell. The reason you don't want insulin levels spiked too often is that insulin is also very efficient at pumping fat into the fat cells. That is why I recommended staying away from the high glycemic foods. Low glycemic sources = most green vegetables, most green veggies, etc. High glycemic sources = starches, white breads, foods containing lots of sugar, etc. Hope this helps, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Sorry, I forgot to mention about the eggs. You can seperate the egg yolk from the "whole" egg and that will leave just the egg white. I just barely split the shell and pour the egg white into a bowl. You can then throw the shell and yolk away. Also, the only advantage that I see in eating high glycemic carbs before a workout is that it will provide temporary energy boost. I however, prefer to take Xenedrine or Hydroxycut to increase my energy before a workout. This will also help with the fat burning. Then, I will eat the high glycemic foods with my post workout meal.
