Thread: New diet. Will it work??

What was your diet like leading up to this?

im actually just starting to workout and diet now, will be starting soon. You think this is too many calories to start out with?

I don't know. If you were eating 2000 cals before and maintained weight then yes.

I havent gained or losed a pound since i was about 15. I am almost positive i will not gain weight with a 3000 calorie diet. Is it bad for me to start out with that many calories? If not i am going to try and eat the 4100 calories and if i am gaining too much a week (more than a pound and a half??) then i will obviously cut down the calories.

Thanks for you input ian. Let me know what you think if the diet, and other suggestions.

Couldn't he always try this diet and see the results, if he packs on too much fat then scale it back and clean out some of the carbs primarily?? Only reason I suggest this, is that he has no basis for comparision with a previous meal plan.

I'm asking more than telling here.

Meal 6 8:00 (Post-Workout Shake)

86 the oil...no fats in your post w/o meal you need that stuff to digest ASAP...same goes for the casein protein need something fast digesting like whey here.

You also need another meal here after your post w/o shake...your body will burn those cals up real fast and there isn't enough to hold you over for the night. Add another solid meal here w/ some efa's...thbis is a good place for your casein proteins/cottage cheese
