What you guys think of this diet? maybe just add some more EFA to the last 2 meals and drop the carbs from the 5'th meal(s) and replace with veggies?

Posted by: Jodi

Looks pretty good to me and definately add in EFA's. I'm not too keen about the fructose in the last meal of the day though and think and EFA would be better instead of the fruit.

Thanks Jodi

I'm just thinking of the MRP shake in the second meal(s).. do they just have the shake without carbs/fats?

Posted by: Jodi

Yes, an MRP is typically protein with carbs and small amount of fat.

and 1 protein bar a week

7. Don’t eat right before or right after you train. If you can, work out first thing in the morning on an empty stomach for maximum fat burning. Also, waiting an hour to eat after a workout may be an effective strategy for increasing the residual fat-burning effects of exercise. EAS also recommends to avoid eating right before going to bed. This strategy has also been shown to stimulate muscle-protein synthesis and muscle growth.

This is from the Body-for-life site. I have been eating soon after lifting. To get the protein in as soon as possible. What do you think? I have read that we want the protein no later than 30 minutes after lifting if possible

What do you think Sara?

Hint - You are correct for questioning it

Posted by: sara

eat protein and complex carbs right after workout and workout on an empty stomach or just coffee, tea

Posted by: Jodi

Yes eat protein and complex carbs PWO. Now on the am workout, that depends, it its just cardio, then that is fine on an empty stomach. However, if you are lifting weights then NEVER EVER lift on an empty stomach.

protein and fruit source as morning pre workout
(shake or egg whites, or cottage cheese w. a fruit) and no fat added

Posted by: Jodi

Pre workout you want the fat. Post workout you do not want the fat.

Posted by: sara

Pre workout will be eggs with 2 yolks and veggies omlet (tomato, spinach, mushrooms)

or shake with PB

or cottage cheese with PB or flax oil

PWO
shake w. oats
or
egg whites or chicken w. oats

Hey Sweetie

missed talking to ya

Hopefuly I will be starting to follow this plan after my cleansing (5 days fast) starting tomorrow till next Thursday... today is my pre-cleansing that means I eat less and get my body used to fasting for 5 days.. " I won't be fasting the 5 days" I will still have veggies, apples, apple juice and banana when I need some food for energy..
the apple juice I need 5 times a day with every powder drink

Posted by: sara

I will even include milk with this! maybe the carb count down milk instead of the regular organic milk
