Not enough veggies and you need to add some variety. Add Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese sometimes. Have green leafys instead of broccoli. Add more healthy fats such as avocado and don't just stick to chicken, add some fatty fish as well. it'll help you to burn fat.

Okay, you've got about 180 lbs lean mass - protein and fat are sufficient and you appear to be running a low carb diet at a significant deficit. May I suggest an occasional refeed?

All excellent suggestions.

This sounds, um, horrible. Why would you want to suggest eating a higher carb diet if he wants to eat low carb? Oats and protein with no fat for breakfast - this sounds like a great way to turn on hunger, and six meals over the day will ensure he never feels full and remains hungry all day.

For the record, there's nothing wrong with a six hour gap between meals if he's comfortable.

To the OP, how long do you intend to run this deficit, and what is your goal bodyfat?

i had no problem running this diet i went form 12% body fat to 7% body fat, thats just my experience it did wonders for me

 

[gamma]

Wow 40 lbs of fat !!!!!!!! I made the worst mistake for my self I ran A bulk gain size, muscle and FAT . Now I wanna cut the fat off lol. My thinking was 4 weeks low carbs (one week in sunday) , to jump start fat loss and over all I thinking I would like to be 12-13% bf . I mean dont get me wrong I am learning and have even bigger goals for down the road but this where I wanna be at for now .

Oh - I didn't say it wouldn't work; I just don't see it as preferable in any way to the OP's low-carb option. You did the standard, bro-school cut and those do work - they're just unnecessarily unpleasant.

Is there any problem with eating jus three meals a day..

No - not at all. In fact, you may find it more comfortable because on three meals, you get to feel FED three times a day.

I think you should decrease fats % as you are cutting

 

[gamma]

Ok I did nt read the sticky of course. So i jus read the refeed and it makes sense, I was even feeling some of the symptoms as far as being tired and craving food ..So I did the refeed as I mentioned yesterday white rice and fruit. HAHA I am new to the diet thing. I am gonna try to refeed every friday. If my understanding is correct when I start feeling tired and have food cravings my body needs to refeed right? Or will there be some craving along the way that I jus need to get pass and push on.





On a side note I am getting a scale today too , so i can weight all my food properly .

Why? You think your body can tell percentages? Or do you think fats will somehow interfere with dieting?

Sometimes it means you need it, sometimes you just have to press on. You'll get to know how your body is responding as you move through this, but the leaner you get, the more frequently you'll need to refeed. While you're still juicy, you may only need one refeed every week and a half, or even two weeks.

if you wanna to diet then just do not eat regularly. just eat for three times in a day, not six times in a day. avoid butter and chicken if you wanna to diet. they are too much fatty for body.

 

[af92]

^^ Why so serious about the fats?

 

[2B1]

Listen to Built. She is a God.

...that is all.

Chicken is fatty? Then how do you explain that this is one of the main components of a competition bodybuilder's diet? I've cut to 6% bodyfat at least 5 times on a chicken-based diet. And of course butter is , but in fact if you need a fat source, it is an option. There are thousand other things I can think of to cut out instead.

And of course, it is already well documented that frequency of diet doesn't matter. The sum total of what you are eating is what matters. Frequency of diet is what works w/ your current habits / schedule to get your food in.
