He has quite an extensive background as well. Does anyone have an idea if eatign like this is ok if you are training and losing about 80 llbs?

Eating 60% fat ..like cheese and butter and cream sounds cool....but I want whats best for my long term state of mind and health.

Besides...I want to look Sesssssy.....buy next 4th of July

I have done the Anabolic Diet before and its pretty damn good. A diet that I think is more tolerable and for me yielded better results however, was a diet called "Natural Horomonal Enhancement." Worked very good for fat-loss and retaining muscle, etc.

The diet is basically Atkin's with 2 very large carb-up meals per week. So it makes it very easy to stick to.

trinsdad, why don;t you post your current diet so that everyone can look at it and help you come up with something a little more personal?

Forgive The Numbers they are clories and carbs. I try to do about 2500 calories a day now. Other than what I do for workout the rest is at a computer writting the company manual...so I am pretty unactive.

Currently I am 6'2 290 my LMB is 215 or 220 last time I checked but I was younger then...I may have lost alot since then.


There ya have it in a nutshell.


Oh I train at 8 am 6 days a week now on an empty stomach...being a novice I dotn know or try to know when I am to take carbs or proteins..Im just "doin' it" right now...


Thanks everyone

The Anabolic Diet is a great diet, I have tried it a few times before with great success, but...

For me, carbs are a must for optimal performance. I run faster and am more explosive when carbs are readily available and, from experience, have found that I gain muscle alot faster when I incorporate high GI carbs postworkout. Even when I carbed up on Wednesdays and Sundays I found that my glycogen was gone within a day and a half.

For what I gather you are trying to do trinsdad, I would say go with the anabolic diet or NHE. It is much easier to curb cravings on these diets and they are psychologically alot easier to stay on.

 

[trinsdad]

Thanks Dale...I will stick with it for now. Maybe switch to a more balanced program once I get within 15-20 of my target.

For now..I feel very very strong in the gym eating like this and I just "feel" better overall.

Could you guys give me some info about the NHE?

monstar that diet really sounds like a low carb diet with a zig-zag to carb up.

I personally am with Mabry on this one - to get growth while losing fat you need the carbs. Expecially when you are on the early part of a fat loss program where you have a lot of fat to burn - it comes off easy and fast with just simple reductions in total calroies (about 500 cal deficit) along with increased activity levels and balanced carb protein fat (about 40/40/20 %).
