Abosolutely not! Slimfast is just sugar, it's the worst thing you could have!
What do you want....you want to have big muscles and low bodyfat right? You need to eat in a manner that gets you that goal...slimfast is for SLB's!
Sugar is evil, bulk or cut, it just is....if you read the Fat Loss Primer you should know what sugar is....I'm not talking just table sugar either, anything that converts rapidly to sugar within your body is not good for cutting. You should really read that thread.
I'm going to tear your meal plan apart now When I'm done...you might also want to read the Male cutting Meal Plan to get even more suggestions on what and how to eat properly
Is this a good diets to start off with?
MegaMan Vitamin sup
bowl of Weaties or Rasen Bran with 1% milk for Breakfast
No...basically you're starting your day w/ sugar and very little protein. A better alternative would be 3 whole eggs plus 4 additional whites and a 1/2 cup of plain oats (not the sugared kind)...this will give you good quality protein, and slow-burning carbs to start your day
Nutricional bar for mid morn. snack
Nutritional bars are NOT!!! They are anything but nutritional....most are extremely high in sugar and even the low carb bars leave something to be desired. If you want to supplement your diet w/ something, get a sugar-free, low-carb (under 3 g) protein powder. Mix it w/ 1 tbsp flax seed oil or 3 tbsp cream and some strawberries, add some veggies and you have yourself a great meal
Slim Fast and fruit for lunch
No slimfast...Have a tuna sandwhich (bread's bad too but it's better than slimfast) or a chicken breast, lean beef, etc...some fruits are okay on a cut...stay away from bananas...apples, berries, peaches and grapefruit are best.
Nutri Bar afternoon snack
Same as above
Salad and small portions Chicken breast with Green beans
for dinner
Not small...big...protein is good! Have 5-6 oz of protein (chicken, fish, beef, tuna, etc)...salad is good...especially if you add some healthy fat like olive oil or flax seed oil to it
1 cup Pop corn foe even snack
Popcorn is bad...I know, I know...it's low fat...it's also high glycemic...meaning it converts to sugar rapidly...fat on the other hand will help control any insulin response, which is a good thing
I am also considering taking Hydroxicut 2 times a day AM and Lunch
I wouldn't do that until your get your diet in order
Oh and I have also been taking a spoon full of creatine befor workouts and the same after with gateraide
I would like to know what you all think will I lose weight and still maintain energy to work out?
