Thread: help with diet

You may want to get rid of the high glycemic carbs (rice,rice cakes,bananna). 5 to 6 meals a day, you may need to take in more protein. your meals should be more balanced.. unsaturated fats/low glycemic carbs/high quality protein.. Try 20 to 25 mins of cardio first thing upon waking on an empty stomach only water is allowed (3 days a week) along with weight lifting 3 to 4 times a week. play around with this and taylor it to what seems to work for you. This is a starting off point

Meal 1
1/2 oat meal

Add EFA's

banana

This is no meal. Where's the protein and veggies? Banana's are not a good choice for carbs, they have too much sugar.

Meal 3
4 oz chiken
1cup vegetable
1/2 cup rice

I hope that is brown rice. Again where are the EFA's

Meal 4
2 rice cakes
peanut butter

This is not a meal, where's the protein? Rice cakes are another bad choice of carbs. Sweet potatos, brown rice, apples, berries, oats, legumes, fiber one cereal, whole grains are good choices, not refined carbs

Meal 5
4 oz fish
salad
1cup vegetables

You need EFA's again

Not enough protein, or EFA's too much sugar and not enough healthy carbs. I hope this helps

WOW, in my opinion that is to many shakes in one day! You need to get more whole foods in there. You carb choices are not optimal either. Things like muffins, cheerios, pasta and oranges are not going to help you out that much in getting the six pack you desire. If you just clean up your diet a bit and switch out some of those not so clean carbs with some cleaner ones (brown rice, oats, sweetpotatoe) you can easily achieve you goal.

the protein shakes equal my body weight in protein i use Isopure which has not fat or carbs. the shakes that i use during the day i only use one scoop which is only 25 grams of protein . What would you reccomend that eat for breakfast usually i eat oat bran muffin with egg whites and turkey. is there something better that i should try instead? thanks for you help

Eggs and oatmeal

drop some of those protein shakes and add a whole food like chicken, turkey, beef, tuna. also, get adequate fiber...lots of green veggies. You need some fat in the form of EFAs also, flax seed oil or flax or fish caps can help you there.

i use a fiber supplment called "myofiber". is fat from peanuts a good from of EFAs? the kind of turkey that i usually eat it the kind you get from the deli counter sliced is that ok? Should i be eating late like 9:30 when i get home from the gym? i usually go to bed like 11. if so what would you reccomend that i eat at that time? i applogize for all the questions but im am very interested in this subject i appreciate your help

Never heard of the fiber supplement. Again, I would still try and get whole foods (greens) in there.

Nuts are an Omega 6 fatty acid. You need some Omega 3 to balance that out. read the stickies!!!

Eat before bed. Cottage cheese is good because of the casien protein. Any slow digesting protein will do though.

If you are interested we have a whole bunch of great stickies at the top of the fourm that can answer these quesions for you.
