Here I am, some 80 plus days away from Vegas. I thought, just for the fun of it, see if I can arrive and have a ripped body for a couple of days while I'm there. So, I have asked JBo to provide me with some pointers to get me to that point. The meal plan wasn't a big change. I believe the only difficult part will be eating on weekends. I tend not to eat much on the weekends. I don't usually eat bad, just not enough. Well, that will change for the next 3 months. So with that said, here is the plan:
Meal one:
1 cup of oatmeal with splenda sweetener
8 egg whites (2 yolks)
Meal two:
2 Scoops of protein powder with water
banana
15 almonds and 1 tablespoon of hemp or flax seed oil
Meal three:
Food protein source (not powder)
1 cup brown rice (yam or potato every 4th day)
2 cups veggies
Meal four:
2 Scoops protein powder with water
apple
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter or nuts
Meal five:
Food protein source
¾ cup of brown rice
3 cups veggies
Just drop the amounts of carbs as the weeks go by.
Use veggies as fillers.
Vegas Cut Down
6 weeks out:
· Water intake should be a consistent 4 liters a day
· Start eating only “lean” proteins (egg whites, salmon, tuna, chicken breasts, turkey breast, lean ground beef, sirloin steak, and veggie ground round)
· Limit alcohol
· Cut out sodas
5 weeks out:
· Water intake should be at 5 liters a day
· Start to increase protein slightly
· Cut carbohydrates to complex carbs only (brown rice, yams, sweet potatoes, and the occasional potato, or whole wheat pasta)
4 weeks out:
· Water intake should be at 6 liters a day
· Take all sugars out (read labels all low-fat foods have high sugar content)
· Lower carbs and replace them with more veggies
· No dairy at all
· Increase cardio to 4 times a week for 20-30min sessions
3 weeks out:
· Water intake still 6 liters (this will thin your skin out and make you a lot harder when it comes time to drop water)
· Try to keep the same calorie intake as week 4, only increase your cardio to 4 times a week for 30-40 minute sessions
· Eat only brown rice for carbs and a potato or yam every 4 days
2 weeks out:
· Same as above
· You will start to look and feel flat and that you have lost muscle (don’t worry cause when you carb load on day 4 to day 1 you will fill the muscles back up)
1 week out:
Same as above
Week of:
Eat everything plain and eat only brown rice
No salt or sugar (key to leaning down)
Day 4:
Drop water to 5 liters
Start carb loading on potatoes, yams and brown rice (eat a ½ portion of protein and these carbs every 2 hours)
Day 3:
Drop water to 3 liters
Still carb load
Day 2:
Drop water to 2 liters
Carb load more
Day 1:
Drop to 1 liter of water
Eat regular 4 week out diet
Day of:
You will be shredded.
-Mild diuretics, hydroxycut, and caffeine/ephedrine help to also shred you down.
-Be careful to not do this too often
Cardio question ... what can I do? I could skip for 7 3 minutes rounds (back to boxing basics). I could use the stepper machines ... any thoughts? Starting at twice a week will mean an early Wednesday morning and a weekend morning.

Day one was not a big change from the norm. Eating 6 meals instead of 5 was probably the biggest change.
The Mrs. is kicking a$$ with her diet. She's up every morning filling her food chest (not sure what else to call it ) and excited about her spin class in the evening.
If I walk to the gym, I can drink 500ml there and 500 ml back - that leaves 5l to drink. hhhhhhmmmm ... drink 1l before work, 3 while at work and one at home ... that adds up to ... let's see, carry the 2 ... cross out the zeros .... that's 6

Not sure what she's on She's chatted with Jbo as well so I'm not sure. I do not get involved too much in what she's eating as she tends to do much better without me sticking my nose in.

Regardless, she's doing really well.
Good for her!
I got to email her and say hi!
