EX World Champion Wrestler seeking diet advice

**rebelwithoutacause** · 03-14-2009, 01:36 PM

Hello everyone! First of all, I would like to thank everybody for their time and input to this post. I was a world champion freestyle wrestler at age 17, weighing in at 103 and 112. Since then, I gained a shit load of weight, by ****ing off, drinking alcohol and smoking bud. I'm 30 now, and am weighing in at 275. I'm 6 ft. tall and have a body fat percentage of 35%! I have been back in the gym and exercising for the last 6 months. I have come down from 300 pounds actually. Right now, I'm trying a diet of counting calories and trying to stay under 1500 a day. I eat turkey products in the morning like turkey links and turkey bacon, along with some cut up potatoes and 2 eggs. Sometimes instead, I'll make a shake in the blender with Carnation Instant Breakfast. For lunch, I will usually have a lean cuisine of my choice in the afternoon, and a mid afternoon snack like almonds or some sort of fruit. For dinner, I make usually cut up boneless skinless chicken and frozen vegetables in a stir fry over some instant brown rice, or I will substitute the chicken with shrimp. Another dinner time dish maybe baked fish, (salmon, tilapia, mahi mahi) a baked potato side of brown rice, and a salad with vinegrette. MY QUESTION IS THIS: Is there a better diet I can do that will help me lose weight more efficiently? What cardio tips do you all suggest? I have a high metabolic rate when I'm clean and focused and my primary goal is to lose 90 pounds in a 8 month time frame, and then do a light cutting cycle to build up all the muscle loss, but I don't want to bulk up, I want to maintain a lean, 190 pound appearence with cut muscle, a defined chest, back and shoulders, and a six pack stomach. What is my best route to get here? All advice is greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

I know we're not supposed to be negative to new comers, but is this a joke?

No joke dude. Dead serious. I'm trying to be back on top again. I'm currently doing judo and jujitsu. Any help will be appreciated. Negativity aint' in my vocabulary right now. But thanks for asking.

I should head over to the diet section myself, I feel like I need a totally new overhaul.

Thanks for all your support and positive comments you guys. I found my way to a goldmine, currently setting up a diet plan with *Narkissos* (freakin genius, check out his thread) and hitting that cardio 5 days a week. Will post results when all is said and done.
