Gonna give it one more run w/ the hi protein/fat,lo carb diet posted by w8 quite a few posts ago.
Since my wife's been pregnant I've really strayed from the program.I haven't put on any #'s,but the fat loss has stopped.Hopefully posting here will help me to keep it all together until my goal date 7/15(my b'day).Really don't care to lose #'s ,just want to get rid of the fat.
First go around w/ this diet got me down 25#'s & approx. 4" off the waistline.I'm looking to possibly repeat the loss around the waist,but keep my weight around 170#'s.
start stats =wt @ home-180lbs (bathroom scales)
=proabably 14-16% bodyfat--can't find reliable method to check.Have used electronic fat checker,but instructions say that they don't give accurate readings for w8lifters.


Looking forward to your comments,Thanks in advance

Hey rks!

I'd be interested to see your progress on w8's plan! That's some great loss on this plan!!! How tall are you?

How far along is your wife or did she already have the baby? Congrats in any case!!

Hi lina !! Thank you--she is a little more than 2 mo's now & we're hoping for a girl.
As for me I'm 5'6".As far as the ht/wt charts I've seen,they all say I'm obese & that I should weigh 145-150#.What a load??!!

I'm gonna dig out the diet log from the first 6 wks,but this time I won't leave out the carb up days.
???? for w8,dp,anyone ----is it okay to use sweet potatoes from the babyfood aisle instead of cooking a single potato each week??

babyfood sounds legal but gross to me

OK, father's day leftovers are allowed today on the Official Post Father's Day day!!! Nothing is better than what mom makes, yum!

B+ for effort

Busy day eh? How are you feeling with lo carbs? I did Atkins for a while and felt great! But the only problem was the plumbing ! TMI! Now my carbs are fairly low but not that low. Most carbs are fibrous carbs, just enuf to get me turning!!

Have a good one!

The last run w/ this diet started & I went 6weeks w/o carbs except for green beans,salad mix,cabbage.No real carbs to speak of.By the 6th week I was mean as hell & weight loss had stopped.Have to make sure & carb up every 4th-5th day.Carb up=apple,1c fibrous veggies w/ tbsp real butter,10oz sweet potato,3c oatmeal(cooked wt),this gut buster is for the last meal of the day.It's a killer,but each time I did this I lost 3-4lbs. w/in 3 days.

As long as it has no added sugar I don't see a problem w/ that, other than to say it's

1300 kcals

rks1969

what can I eat on the potato so it's not so terribly plain?I know I should be eating for fuel not taste,but 10oz is alot of plain potato to choke down.would it be ok to blend the fruit & mix the two?

Try cooking the sweet potato plain, steam, boiled, etc in water. Add some butter buds, touch of Splenda. That is if you want to eat it by itself.

Your carb up meal is the same as mine except the quantities are different. Monday was my carb up and this is what I did:

I cooked the sweet potato first in boiling water. When that was fairly tender, I added the oatmeal. When the oatmeal was done, I added the butter. My carb up calls for a banana instead of your apple, so I also added the banana to the mix. I normally don't but the banana was very green so I thought that way I could get it down instead of eating a bland banana. So when the brew was done, I added Butter Buds and some Splends, some sf ff maple syrup. It cooks up BIG and as you said before, very filling. Yum!!

The veggies was just stirfried lightly in Pam and eaten seperately.

you could also top the potato with brown sugar twin..
