My semi paleo diet

[Kärnfysikern]

I think Im gonna give this a shot when semester starts(4th september). It wont be either a cut or bulk. Im going to be clean for 3-4 months so its just a diet Im going to use to maintain strenght and size as well as I can and give a semi paleo diet a try. I will start by excluding pasta, rice, potatoes, bread and oats from my diet. kcal will probably end up beeing a bit higher because Im sure Il throw in a extra fruit and some extra nuts each day.

Im going to swim 2 times a week, hit the weights 2-3 times a week and try and skip rope for 20-30 minutes 4 mornings each week before classes. I want to be in awsome cardio shape when its time to go on the juice again in january or february.

hmmm, interesting approach. I want to know how it works out, I noticed your carb intake is the only macro that is higher on workout days vs. your rest day.

[Lucius Leftfoot]

i'd like to here how this does for you johan...be sure to keep us updated.

[MatrixGuy]

Doesn't seem to be much meat bro.

Let us know how it goes

Yupp. Since protein synthesis peaks 24 hours post workout there is no reason to have more protein on a workout day so thats why I only change the carbs

Il defenelty do that

Same as usual. I cant afford eating lots of meat Sucks to be a poor student.

The only thing I'd personaly change would be the yoghurt for some cottage cheese and cut down the bananas for apples and yes more meat if possible but looks good in general

[steve0]

i know it works for you but i dont know how you eat so much whey !!!

What are you going to school for, Johan, and what year are you in?

[Kärnfysikern]

Its not by chooise, its neccesity Meat is very expensive in sweden

I start my third year as a physics undergrad

I hate cottage cheese It tastes nasty. Im mostly doing the yoghurt to get some pro biotics into my diet.

But yeah changing banana for apple or pears might be good

Thats why I start it on the 4th september Im going on vaccation on wensday

I have realised that I have more or less done paleo diets everytime I have been cutting though so it wont realy be the first time. But more like the first time I know thats what Im doing.

[Ectoflab]

Yes, I'd like to hear how that diet goes for you too.

Undergrad physics? You mentioned you study physics in one of your posts before, but I didn't realize it was formally at a university. Very cool. Btw, I teach physics at the high school level. No joke!

I also didn't realize you're from Sweden. I should have. One of my favorite bands is from Sweden and 3 out of 5 members of the band are named Johan!

[ricogl40]

def let us know how that diet goes! sounds interesting.

yupp I love physics, its the big passion of my life . I am defenetly going to do all I can to get into grad school when I am done with my masters. But I am a bit split betwen nuclear physics(nuclear power, not realy particle/high energy physics) and astrophysics.

lol what band is that btw?? Johan is one of the most comon swedish names. Kind of boring

Do you teach other subjects or just physics? In sweden most high school science teacher always teach 2 subjects. Physics and maths usualy go hand in hand I have taken many classes togheter with those studying to become high school physics teachers.
