Well I have been following the diet for a bit now I dunno 2-3 weeks I really am not sure how long. But the diet is easy to follow.
Its difficult for me to measure so many carbs out I'm so use to not eating alot of them this is a total change for me LOL.
here is the diet I have been following:
New diet is a higher carb, very very low fat, and moderate protein. They stress do more cardio, you dont need as much protein as people think, and higher carbs will help energize your workouts and youw ill be taking in just enough protein to refuel and repair muscles.
Training Days
Meal 1: 1 med banana, 2 scoops whey, 1 cup coffee (40p 30c)
WORKOUT
Meal 2: 2 scoops whey , BCAA's, 2 oat n honey granola bar (40p 60c)
Meal 3: 6oz meat, 2 cup brown rice, veggies (30p 80c)
Meal 4: 6oz meat, 2 cup brown rice, veggies (30p 80c)
Meal 5: 1 lite n fit yogurt, 1 apple, 2tbl PB, 1 cottage cheese double (25p 55c 16f)
Non-Training Days
Meal 1: 2cups cereal with milk (80c, 25p)
Meal 2: 6oz meat, 2 cup brown rice, veggies (30p 80c)
Meal 3: 6oz meat, 2 cup brown rice, veggies (30p 80c)
Meal 4: 6oz meat, 2 cup brown rice, veggies (30p 80c)
Meal 5: 1 lite n fit yogurt, 1 apple, 2tbl PB, 1 cottage cheese double (25p 55c 16f)
2640 cals
160 p 640
400 c 1600
45 f 400
Now I was 175.2 when i first started this diet...within the first few days I bumped up to 179 I'm guessing just extra water gain from the overload of carbs. I have since leveled out and now 2 weeks later my weight is 177 even. Yes I gained 2lbs which I'm not happy about...
BUUUUUUUT!......
I have gone from being very sluggish and lethargic with craptastic workouts being on such a low carb moderate protein/fat diet to now having some AMAZING workouts which i have plenty of energy to do what needs to be done. Not only the in the gym energy I find myself being much happier and mentally healthier...when i cut calories and go very low carb i get nasty, depressed, very irritable etc etc it really makes me miserable to say the least.
Visibly everyone says I look thinner but warm weather has come and i have been wearing less clothing...in my eyes I can't really tell to much. It actually looks like I leaned out in some areas like my chest/arms/slightly in my back and my lower abs and legs look less defined then they did before this diet.
I am thinking I will give it another week or two and see what the scale and mirror say. Its very tempting to cut most of my carbs out and lose a ton of weight (mostly water) and temporarily look good but i know once I add more carbs in that water comes back and I'm back to squar one.
well I wanted to post everyone on my status and Iw ould like to hear what you guys think of it all. all questions and comments are welcomed!
