This is it...time to get serious...my plan

[FeldMarshellPotter]

I decided today to change my unhealthy lifestyle. I am sick of being fat and lazy and hating my mirror image. I will diet for as long as it takes to reach my goals. Let me know what you think of my plan.

Current: 5'4, 217 lbs, 39" waist, 18.75" bi's, 49" chest

Goals: 5'4, 185 lbs, 30" waist, 18.5" bi's, 48" chest (most of my weight is in my abs; arms and chest are pretty firm)

Diet- 6 meals a day, 180 grams protein/day, 1500 or so calories

Cardio- 30 min/4 days a week

[SwoleCat]

Terrible.

I'd re-think everything and become friends w/those in the DIET forum.

~SC~

[Smak]

I second that. 1500 calories is nothing. I can eat that in one sitting.

[Smak]

Damn you 5"4 you tall as my mother

[decadbal]

how have you not been rebanned.... banned ppl cant come back with new names...

[FeldMarshellPotter]

ok, maybe 1800 is closer to what I meant...but my protein stays relatively low because if I eat too much of it, I simply get fat because of my metabolism

[FeldMarshellPotter]

plus too much protein is bad for your liver, ya'll know that

[Polska]

You're misinformed......

There's a lot of good info in that diet forum bro

U serious man I really dont think your gonna end up lookin like that w/your proposed diet.

BUT on a side note i thought you were banned too after the little internet drama you brought w/ya or maybe im missin something.

[FeldMarshellPotter]

ok enough flamin'...just the basics...what would you do to achieve my goals?

[HULKBOY]

Yea Man Baby Steps

[decadbal]

if you dangerous hi protein diet is affecting your kidneys... just drink your urnine.. that cleans em out

[FeldMarshellPotter]

Are you guys serious about the protein though? I know most Pro BB's have 300-400 grams of protein a day, but to get down to 180-185 lbs I don't need that much to maintain muscle

You need to stave off catabolism any way you can when dieting. Cut short on that protein and you'll end up looking like a smaller, less muscular, version of you.

[FeldMarshellPotter]

I know, I know...1.5-2 grams per lb. That's what works for some, but not all. Danny Padilla was famous for cutting his protein to less than 100 grams during competiton and still maintaining his musculature...it was in an issue of Flex last summer

AND there ya go stop reading flex their brainwashing you dude

[SwoleCat]

Ummm, no, I don't know that.

Did you mean kidneys??

Both are fallacies anyhow as long as water intake is adequate.

If you get fat from protein, you are doing something wrong elsewhere, as it's not the protein. You're not even meeting your BODYWEIGHT in protein!!!!!

~SC~

[SwoleCat]

Anyhow, have fun w/your plan.

~SC~

[HULKBOY]

its ok hes reading FLEX

[FeldMarshellPotter]

Is this better? 200 grams protein, 1000 calories

[decadbal]

200gm of protein is 800cals... is this your first day or what

[FeldMarshellPotter]

and yes, I meant kidneys

[decadbal]

you want a tip man... really... atleast dbl your calories... for your bodywt that will atleast maintain the wt you have..

[FeldMarshellPotter]

200gm of protein is 800cals... is this your first day or what

the calories differ from one protein source to the other. Check the labels on different protein bars and shakes. Calories don't only come from protein obviously

[decadbal]

yes, but 1gm of protein is equal to 4calories...

[FeldMarshellPotter]

to get 2000 cals a day I would have to eat equivalent to 3 Met-RX bars, 3 protein shakes, and maybe 3 cans of tuna...9 meals? I think not

[SwoleCat]

You said protein.

Protein is protein.

If you are eating other items that have protein and carbs, then that is not just a protein source.

BTW, bars are shit.

~SC~

[SwoleCat]

to get 2000 cals a day I would have to eat equivalent to 3 Met-RX bars, 3 protein shakes, and maybe 3 cans of tuna...9 meals? I think not

Ironically, that is still not enough food, and having 3 bars and 3 shakes as 6 meals is very poor planning.

~SC~

[FeldMarshellPotter]

but you can't eat protein without other things such as fat adding on carbs and calories

[decadbal]

really, im being honest and upfront here, are you just fuucking around, or are you really this dumb

[SwoleCat]

but you can't eat protein without other things such as fat adding on carbs and calories

Actually you can, or d*mn near very close.

However, protein alone is NEVER a good option, you want another alternate energy source to allow protein to do what it needs to do.

Anyhow, you all enjoy, I gotta shave/shower/kick it/make flight reservations.

Peace!!!!!!

~SC~

[FeldMarshellPotter]

That was only an example...I eat- shake for breakfast...chicken for lunch, bar for meal, tuna, shake, then chicken

[SwoleCat]

really, im being honest and upfront here, are you just fuucking around, or are you really this dumb

I believe he is very un-educated on the subject of nutrition, yes.

~SC~

[FeldMarshellPotter]

as I lose weight, I will adjust according to my body's needs

[FeldMarshellPotter]

really, im being honest and upfront here, are you just fuucking around, or are you really this dumb

you are the idiot...when I post my pics you'll cry in jealousy

[decadbal]

you are the idiot...when I post my pics you'll cry in jealousy

well i know more than you, and i hope you do reach your goal, but this way you def wont... you need help... go to the diet forum and learn... hell ill even be nice and if you PM me, ill give u what id do..

[FeldMarshellPotter]

ok...so you don't believe that I know how to diet? then explain my success last year of losing 30 pounds and not losing more than a half inch from my arms and chest @ 190 with a 34" waist on a diet of only 150 grams of protein a day

[FeldMarshellPotter]

i'm not trying to be an ass, i know i'm unconventional, but I swear to you it worked for me

[decadbal]

well do whatcha want man

[FeldMarshellPotter]

I used to be very fat, and my body takes whatever it can and stores it as fat if I don't simply eat less than most others
