[Elliot]

Hey im 19 240 lbs at 6'1 i would like to loose like 30-40 lbs i put a small diet together (below) but when it comes to fitness im a newbie.. so i came to the source.. i would like to be in decent physique for the summer. So please help me out.. in adition to diet im going to do 45 minutes of am cardio on an empty stomach just as swole cat advises and some weights.. once again please comment..

Can you copy that and paste it in a post? It will be easier to critique it that way but a few things right off the bat.

Change the chicken thighs to breasts.

Change your first meal to include egg whites and oatmeal (or some other complex carb).

86 the ham and cheese wraps and eat a meal with some sort of lean protein (chicken breats/lean red meat/egg whites/tuna w/ no mayo) and brown rice (or some other complex carb)

How many oz is the steak you are eating? What kind of steak is it?

I don't know what is in an Isoflex shake but if it has any carbs in it, that needs to be changed as well if you're drinking it right before bed.

You will need to add in some good fats somewhere during the day.

You also need to hit the weights and take in a post-workout shake immediately afterwards that includes whey protein and simple sugars (dextrose/maltodextrin)

One good thing is that it looks like you are already programmed to eat 5-6 times a day which is one of the most difficult aspects to incorporate into your life if you don't already do it.

I would kill the A1 and the wrap for you ham and cheese. Isoflex is a good choice if you are in Canada: its low carb, so aside from the A1 and bread in your wrap, you describe a decent low carb diet.

I'd do 6-8 eggs in a lowfat cheese omelete, oatmeal, and coffee. Deffinately don't use wraps go with the low carb grain breads (6gof carbs if you need to have a sandwhich) also go with turkey instead of ham. I'd not do the A1 too much sodium (if I remember right). Also, try olive oill w/ your tuna instead of may, just to mix it up some. I like light olive oil with pepper.

Good luck and post pics

IF ITS NECESSARY FOR THE MAYO, FINE, BUT IT'S NOT THE BEST ANSWER. TRY DIFFERENT VARIABLES. KETO IS OK FOR LOSING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF WEIGHT, BUT PREPARED TO LOSE SOME STRENGTH. I WOULD RECOMMEND A LOWER CARB DIET WITH YOUR MAIN CARBS COMING FROM A PWO SHAKE AND BREAKFAST... I.E. 60 GRAMS PWO, 30 IN THE MORNING, AND UPPING THE PROTEIN.

beenie i dont use any bread for the ham and cheese wrap its just cheese wraped in ham as far as the a1 sauce goes i need some sort of spoil..

USE SOMETHING WITHOUT SUGAR THEN, A1 IS TOO PROCESSED.

bestbod85 this is my first really cutting or bulking cycle so i dont really want to start using gear this early into working out career..

GOOD CHOICE.

i was also thinking of adding some green pepers instead of the mixed vegtables..

YOU CAN DO BOTH, ADDING ROUGHAGE IS GOOD FOR YOU, STAY AWAY FROM CARROTS, THOUGH.

please comment on my diet.. im a newbie so if you can please explain every thing i should change.. thanks a bunch

STICK AROUND, WE ARE HERE TO HELP.

Thenx for all your help guys :-D.. today was my first day on this diet.. was i woke up i went stright to the gym did an hour of cardio trying to keep my HR within 135-140 BPM.. after that i came home and did as you guys said ate half a cup of oatmeal (1 cup prepared) and i ate 2 egg white and one whole.. i threw in two teaspoons of grinded flax seeds into the oatmeal and a bit of salt for the taste... good/bad?! for my sanck im going to have a slice of turkey wrapped around apline slice cheese which is soppoused to be low fat low sodium (acctuly 2 of thoes wraps[no bread, naturly])... for lunch 2 chicken brestes with fresh cut green peper, snack two can of tuna with some low fat mayo.. i know i shouldnt have mayo but its the only thing that helps me stomach tuna fish.. dinner a steak about .75 lbs sirolin cut with very little to none fat. and for my PW shake i have 100% Whey Pro-Amino Vanilla Ice Cream and as ramrod suggested i might add a banana and 1.5 cups of milk to increase the carbs.. any plus's minus's? and some creatine and glutamine then in about an hour im off to sleep.. thank you once again ya'll have been great thenx

[rambo]

and as ramrod suggested i might add a banana and 1.5 cups of milk to increase the carbs..

...and then I crapped on Ronnie Coleman's lawn? No way! No milk and no fruit!

[Elliot]

lol i appologize so what should i use to boost carbs? dextrose/maltodextrin as donna said?

[eggplant]

bro are u doing a keto diet??

[SwoleCat]

CAPS.........

Thenx for all your help guys :-D.. today was my first day on this diet.. was i woke up i went stright to the gym did an hour of cardio trying to keep my HR within 135-140 BPM.

I'D BEGIN WITH 45 MINS FOR NOW. USE THE HOUR FOR A TUNE-UP LATER DOWN THE ROAD SHOULD PROGRESS STALL IN 3-5 WEEKS.



after that i came home and did as you guys said ate half a cup of oatmeal (1 cup prepared) and i ate 2 egg white and one whole..

YOU HAVE MORE CARBS HERE THAN PROTEIN. NOT SURE WHAT YOUR GOALS ARE, BUT WITH AN HOUR OF CARDIO JUST BEING DONE, I'D SAY YOU ARE LOOKING TO CUT BODYFAT. THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN W/MEALS SUCH AS THIS.

i threw in two teaspoons of grinded flax seeds into the oatmeal and a bit of salt for the taste... good/bad?! I'D LEAVE THE FATS OUT IF YOU ARE HAVING CARBS HERE FOR WHATEVER REASON.

for my sanck im going to have a slice of turkey wrapped around apline slice cheese which is soppoused to be low fat low sodium (acctuly 2 of thoes wraps[no bread, naturly])...DOESN'T SEEM LIKE NEARLY ENOUGH.


for lunch 2 chicken brestes with fresh cut green peper,

WHERE'S THE FATS?????? YOU'RE GOING TO BURN PROTEIN FOR ENERGY HERE, OR LEAN MASS.


snack two can of tuna with some low fat mayo..

SCREW THE LOW-FAT CRAP......IT'S FULL OF SUGAR, USE BEST FOODS REAL MAYO. W/OUT CARBS, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, THIS WILL NOT, I REPEAT, WILL NOT MAKE YOU FAT.



i know i shouldnt have mayo but its the only thing that helps me stomach tuna fish.. SEE ABOVE!

dinner a steak about .75 lbs sirolin cut with very little to none fat.
U CAN HAVE SOME FAT FROM THE STEAK, AS IF YOU ARE INGESTING HEALTHY FATS DURING THE DAY (YOU SHOULD) THEY ALL BALANCE OUT.

and for my PW shake i have 100% Whey Pro-Amino Vanilla Ice Cream and as ramrod suggested i might add a banana and 1.5 cups of milk to increase the carbs.. any plus's minus's? and some creatine and glutamine then in about an hour im off to sleep.. thank you once again ya'll have been great thenx

I DUNNO WHAT THE STUFF ABOVE IS, NEVER CLICKED THE LINK, BUT DEXTROSE/ISOLATE IS BEST PWO. FORGET MILK/FRUIT, DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR YOUR PURPOSES. YOU ALSO NEED ANOTHER SOLID MEAL AFTER THE LIQUID ONE, AND I'D NIX THE CREATINE IF YOU ARE CUTTING LOOKING FOR LEANNESS, STRIATIONS, SEPERATION, AND CUTS.

[SwoleCat]

bro are u doing a keto diet??

With all the carbs he has listed? I think not.........

[Elliot]

Swolecat im looking to loose about 30 lbs which would put me on or under the 10% bf line.. as i said before i have no clue what im doing and all of this was put together from what i read in other posts, forums, etc. yeah im looking to loose bf and keep/increase (if possible) lean muscle... i do am cardio and pm weights... yesterday thought the whole day i counted about 1500 cals, 80 grams of fat 30-40 grams of carbs and 200 grams of protien.. (approx).. i go by what ever i read here.. thank you for your insight as you seem to know what your doing your advice is very appriciated..

Nine A.M. Three boiled eggs (one whole)
½ Cup oatmeal (one table spoon of grinded Flax seeds/10G Glutamine)
Multi-Vitamin + Xenadrine EFX

XENADRINE EFX SHOULD BE BEFORE CARDIO..............WATCH THE FAT/CARBS TOGETHER HERE, EVEN THOUGH FLAX SEEDS ARE A GOOD FAT. YOU ARE SERIOUSLY LACKING PROTEIN AS WELL, THE KEY TO IT ALL!


Eleven A.M. Ham/Turkey and Munster Cheese Rolls (two-three)
Four-Six ounces of almonds (depending on hunger)

SODIUM UP THE WAZOO IN THESE MEATS......I'D UTILIZE A FLAX/ISOLATE SHAKE.


One P.M. Chicken (one to one and a half pound)
Green/red/yellow pepper (whole)

YOU'LL NEED FATS HERE IN THE PLACE OF CARBS.......IF THIS IS CHICKEN THIGHS, FINE, BREASTS NO.......U NEED TO ADD FAT.


Four P.M. Can of Tuna (in water) with table spoon of mayonnaise
Teaspoon of grinded flax seeds
THIS IS FINE, USE THE REAL MAYO, NO LOW FAT CRAP.


Six P.M. Sirloin Steak (eight to twelve ounces depending on hunger)
Green/red/yellow pepper (whole)
FINE HERE..............


Nine P.M. Ham/Turkey and Munster Cheese Rolls (two-three)

GET SOME DEXTROSE, IT'S CHEAP............1FAST400.COM IS GREAT, SO YOU'LL WANNA DO IT RIGHT. TAKE THE FLAX OIL OUT, AS YOU DO NOT WANT TO SLOW DIGESTION AT THIS TIME, QUICK DIGESTION IS CRUCIAL!

AS WELL, YOU NEED ANOTHER SOLID STARCH/LEAN PROTEIN MEAL AFTER THE LIQUID ONE, AS YOUR BODY WILL TORCH THAT POST-WORKOUT SHAKE IN ABOUT 45 MINS LEAVING YOU ON EMPTY.
