Does anyone cut up on their own diet?

Just wrote a little rant which has lead me to post a question:

Does anyone on the board utilize their own original nutritional plan when cutting...say for a competition...other than the notoriously popular DP/w8 high protein/moderate fat/low carb strategy?

If so, what are your macros, carb sources, etc?





Posted by: calalily1972

Not all DP and w8's plans are under 30G of carbs per day. It just seems to be the most popular because its easy to follow and I find it to be the faster fat loss.

How much do you wiegh?
What is your bf%?
How many calories a day do you consume?
What is the daily percentage of your macros?



Posted by: calalily1972

Me?



Posted by: cornfed

Mine have always (past year and a half) been similar to that philosophy, but it just happened on it's own

I hate %s so if I had to roughly guestimate... PCF 60/33/7 on most days and 60/20/20 on carb days

And yeah, I do this for cutting and gaining just adjust the grams

Not you, Jodi, Fit Freak.

Thank you! Big mis-conception here. Our meal plans are high protein, moderate fat, slow burning carbs.....not necessarily low carb....it's very individual and in fact changes w/ each tweak.



Posted by: Fit Freak

Wow...I thought people would misunderstand my question....so I'll restate....what sort of nutritional plans/strategies do people use when they cut....could be low carb...high protein/fat...moderate carb...etc?

I wasn't trying to make an assessment of w8/DP...both of whom I am sure know their stuff....I'm just wondering if anyone cuts on a plan other than the high protein/moderate fat/"slow burning carbs" or low carb?

I know that ....but I still wanted to clarify just because it is a big misconception among a lot of people

You GO Girl!


DP



Posted by: w8lifter

Um...just FYI to FF and everyone else...we're not offended at all, lol...I just wanted to clarify the difference between the low carb and the slow burning carb That's all



Posted by: Duncan

I intake 2500 kcals a day, with no particular macro breakdown, I just get around 150-200g protein and let the rest fill itself in with what i care to eat, I will say that I haven't been eating any candy bars or shyt like that, though.

Twin Peaks is quite different ( and very effective by the looks of his pix )....you may want to check out one of his older journals as his new one is for bulking.

well i think the universal is high protein but there is some differnce in dieting for enhanced athletes as opposed to normal ones.

My general cutting cycle is...

*protein...2 g per lb of bodyweight
*carbs...0.5 g per lb
*fats...0.25-0.5 g per lb

This is my general plan. As I have done so many shows I have learned my own body well enough to ocassionally throw in a 0 carb day or a high carb day...500 g or so. I know when my body needs a shock in either direction.

My foods are as follows:
-chicken
-turkey
-steak
-egg whites
-buffalo
-sweet potatos
-brown rice
-shredded wheat
-oatmeal
-rice cakes (post workout only)
-pizza and burgers (oh wait, I only dream of those)

whats the best protein shake you guys recommend me to?
looking for high protein and 0 to 3 grams of carbs ...
tried isopure, like it but its too much $$$$

Yuck! Those things taste like cardboard! Good thing you're having them post-workout as they're extremely high GI.

Thats why I have them post workout...for the very high GI.

hey GP, do you ever boil your chicken? I've heard of ppl doing that on cuts...



Posted by: P-funk

I think they boil the chicken to get the sodium out of it.

Makes sense. But does it have any other benefits I wonder? Anyone know?



Posted by: gopro

Nah, no boiling. Just broiling or baking for me. Just a matter of taste.

Are there any significant benefits of boiling over broiling/baking/grilling? It does seem like boiling it would make it taste like crap.

Nope



Posted by: freeman1504

Whew! I'm glad I won't have to put up with that crap when I go on a cut!



Posted by: P-funk

boiled chicken is the disgusting. When I was cutting a couple of years ago I ate it on a recomendation from this bodybuilder. I hated it.



Posted by: freeman1504

yeah...sounds really gross.. chicken is already bland as it is...



Posted by: Twin Peak

I have boiled chicken plenty of times. Not that bad actually, though it look gross.

As to the original question. I have used many different diets to cut. The most effective, I have used personally, is the one I utililized last year in my journal titled Ripped. Fitbabe, DV, and a few others, I think have tried variations of it. Though I have never used a DP/W8 diet (too much counting).

I will tell you, it is very similar in principle. The types of food are similar, though my diet is lower in fat. As to carbs, the types of carbs are generally the same (slow burning), but I cycle the amounts daily, in a three day cycle.

This has worked very effectively for me dropping a significant amount of BF and getting to a ripped 4-5% for 2 shows.

However, just for kicks, I am starting a DdiPasquale/Lyle CKD in a few weeks.

How closely are you going to follow the Lyle Mcdonald CKD diet?

Does this mean that every Sat. and Sun. you are going to be feasting on butterfinger bars, donuts and whole boxes of lucky charms w/skim milk? lol

Exactly! Though, I'll be making different carb choices. I am thinking Fruit Loops, Cap'n Crunch, pasta, bagels, smarties, etc.

I am not kidding either. Actually, I'll prolly vary my carb ups. A couple of Lyle-stlye, a few Duchaine style, and compare the difference.

Hey, where has your buddy Yan been?

Man actually I tried doing the diet like that. It really worked. I was consistently losing .5-1lb per week. It was funny because I would eat so much over the weekend that on monday I would weigh in about 8-10lbs heavier do to water. I would eat crap also. For a while my lunch on Sat. consisted of 1 box of waffles topped with a pint of ben&jerry's cherry garcia, 1 banana, candy corn and hot syrup. That was so good!

Yan was getting sick of dieting and shit so he took a break. He also got pretty ill. He was getting fed up with eating so clean and counting calories but I talked to him on Sunday and he just snapped back and is ready to rock again. He was on the forum all weekend. He said he is going to come back hard now. He starts cutting today and said he would update his journal complete with cut diet tonight.



Posted by: Twin Peak

Glad he'll be back.

I'll get a CKD journal going when I start in about 3 weeks.



Posted by: P-funk

It is a good diet. I have about 7 weeks left on my cut and I might go CKD during the last few weeks.

This has nothing to do with cutting, but as far as which method of cooking meat is best for your overall health.... cooking meat with water helps prevent the formation of the cancer causing componds heterocyclic amines.

How You Cook Your Meat May Affect Your Health

Cindy D. Davis

We all worry about making sure our meat is adequately cooked in order to avoid bacterial infection but did you know that cooking meat -beef, poultry and fish- at high temperatures for long periods of time can also be dangerous to your health? A growing number of epidemiologic studies suggest a relationship between methods of cooking meat and various cancers.

Different methods of cooking expose foods to different temperatures. Steaming, boiling and stewing expose food to heat not exceeding 100oC; baking , microwaving and roasting expose food to temperatures up to 200 oC; and broiling and barbecuing use temperatures up to 400oC. Frying with a pan or wok normally uses high surface temperatures.

It has been shown that well-cooked meat has as many as 20 compounds known as heterocyclic amines, or HAs for short. The amounts of the different HAs in food vary with the type of food and the method of cooking. In general, broiling and frying produce high levels of HAs andsteaming, boiling and stewing of meats produce little or no formation of HAs . Specifically, it is the burning of meat juices that generates these compounds. Most fast-food hamburgers do not have high amounts of HAs.

In long-term feeding studies, these compounds have produced cancers in various organs of laboratory animals, suggesting that they are human carcinogens. Furthermore, HAs have also been shown to be toxic to the heart in animals and therefore may play a role in the development of chronic heart disease in humans.

To put the risks of under- versus overcooking meat into perspective, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 340 cases of E. coli infection in 1997. This corresponds to an incidence rate of 2.1 per 100,000. In contrast, scientists have estimated that the average cancer risk because of heterocyclic amine exposure ranges from 1 per 10,000 for the average person to greater than 1 in 50 for those ingesting large amounts of well-done muscle meats, especially flame-grilled chicken.

In light of the possible role of HAs in the development of human cancer and/or chronic heart disease, it appears prudent to minimize exposure to these compounds. Simple measures for doing so include avoiding overcooking of meats and preparing meats by stewing or microwaving rather than by broiling or pan-frying; if making gravy from meat droppings do not allow them to become dry prior to preparing the gravy; eat beef medium or medium-well rather than well done; when barbecuing, wrap meat or fish in aluminum foil to prevent contact with an open flame; and remove the blackened parts of charred food prior to eating. Furthermore, briefly microwaving meat and pouring off the juices before frying, broiling or barbecuing greatly reduces heterocyclic amine formation because juices contain high amounts of precursors.

So, enjoy your meat but be careful how you cook it!

Free radicals don't actually last long enough in the system to cause the proposed damage.



Posted by: chanota

where's the info on that?



Posted by: oceangurl01

if you boil the chicken and cut it into little pieces and mix it with lettuce, broccoli, and celery, add vinegar and olive oil.... you'll love it!



Posted by: kuso

even better is boiled chicken mixed with sliced cucummber and sesame paste ( ground an add some flax ) and some red pepper. Ban banji..
Fucking great taste



Posted by: oceangurl01

whats a sesame paste?



Posted by: kuso

grind up some sesame seeds until they become doughy, the splash a bit of flax oil on them to make it more like a runny peanut butter



Posted by: oceangurl01

how much carbs in that? and in the cucumber? i know not alot.. but you know how much?



Posted by: kuso

Um...somwhere betweem &%# and &*?+#% You could work it out on fitsavers by putting in each ingreadiate though.

Study food science for a couple years (or even less) and you'll find an abundance. Unless the meat is fuqqin' charred beyond recognition after being doused w/ lighter fluid, there will be no noticable increase in free radicals (in potential risk).

wasn't trying to undermind your knowledge on this. i'd like to learn as much as possible about diet, health and fitness. just curious where i could find this info, cuz so far what i've found about this subject states differently than what your saying. currently, i'm not studying food science



Posted by: cornfed

I didn't mean it in a negative way, just couldn't remember any of the texts and sites and documents I was forced to read LOL. I reread my post and it sounded pretty rough. I just meant that the whole free-radical issue is the same as aspartame. Overblown and no real danger unless you are purposely trying to hurt yourself by taking things to an illogical extreme.



Posted by: chanota

forced to read... hehe. aint school grand. i don't think we are going to see eye to eye on any of this. personally, i disagree with you about aspertame and the overcooking issue as being no real danger to your health. maybe i'm too extreme, donno. hmmm... seems to me there's enough things that are damaging to our bodies that we can't prevent. every little bit helps, so i'll opt for choosing the healthiest way that's humanily possible. you only get one shot at this life.

Agree to disagree
(but... ) the deal w/ aspartame is that the level at which it becomes harmful is so dadgum high that it's actually quite hard to reach. Just like chocolate's druglike effect's threshold. You'd have to eat more than your bodywt to get high. Same w/ aspartame, though it's a bit less than your wt. Same w/ sacharine, sodium... and even water. All can be toxic at certain levels, just that it's rather difficult to reach that level, unless you're trying... or pumping a 8oz lad mouse full of it LOL I could prove any substance to be toxic, but does that mean it's bad? no

I'll drop it at that.

Damn, so I should stop injecting sacharine into my arm? And aspartame into my ass? That sucks!





Posted by: cornfed

Oh, and did I mention that I'm pro hormone enhanced animals? and pro BT? and pro irradiation? well... I am

I'll give myself a damned injection of BST and prove that it isn't harmful to humans Seriously Bovine somatrophin does not affect humans positively or negatively



Posted by: freeman1504

I'm pro-ecoli, pro-salmonella, and pro-ebola (just for the hell of it with this one)



Posted by: cornfed

I was fuqqin' serious though

I stand by those beliefs



Posted by: freeman1504

Oh, I was just playing around

Damnit!



Posted by: oceangurl01

you guys know how the sugar-free, fat free jello has 0 carbs and 0 fat and 10 grams of cals
i bought it and made it, but it tasted sweet ! and im afraid to eat it! would the company might be lying ?



Posted by: freeman1504

I dunno the ingredients...list them and we can tell you if they're ok. I don't think they're too bad, but I'm not sure.

Posted by: oceangurl01

thanx! im just afraid to eat them.... even though the nut info is ok
but they sweet to me!



Posted by: freeman1504

well, tons of companies are now using splenda, which would be fine for you IMO..it's what I use...I would stay away from aspartame and saccharine.



Posted by: oceangurl01

so, would you guys eat the sugar free jello?



Posted by: freeman1504

Yeah, I don't give a shit. I don't really like it..dont' feel like making it. BUt I don't have a prob with it. I can't speak for anyone else.



Posted by: oceangurl01

i mean you wouldnt think of it as a bad food?



Posted by: freeman1504

well, ask yourself this....what "good" stuff does it have. what benefit will you get from it?



Posted by: oceangurl01

OK
