What kind of diet mod for losing fat

:)

No I am eating 60gms of protein for when I used to eat about 20 grams and mostly carbs before. My diet was carb heavy before. I am going for more protein by changing what I would normally eat. Typically I would crack open chips for snacks, eat pasta dishes with no meat, candy bars, etc. Now I am eating the cottage cheese, whole fruits instead of just juices, tuna fish 4-5 days as week, and laying off all the carbs. I am also drinking the whey for additional protein. I feel better and my gblood sugar is not all over the place. I am not adiabetic but I think that with my weight and eating habits I was on my way to being type II sooner than later.


you WERE taking in 20 gs of protein .....wow thats hard to do like i mean really low ...thats 2-3 pieces of bread and 60 g for your Bodyweight is still very low you need to find away to add another 125g`s or so at least you need about 1g per 1 lb of bodyweight
 
I am a carb junky who is reforming. I am really trying to get more into my diet. Maybe I can drink the whey twice a day? I used to eat a lot of empty calories but I am more conscious now. It takes me more time to think about eating and to make lunches for work (where I was always eating fast food twice a day with chips for snacks in between) but I am making the effort to get heathy.

I am making a tuna salad with a teaspoon of Hellmans low fat Mayo, Onions, and dill relish for lunches and also a hard boiled egg. That is a main stay now with fruit as snacks.
 
its the little changes that will help the most.....they are things you can stick to ......like people have mentioned you can not cut out something and not crave it you have to work slowly like for me at about midday i eat one can of tuna with 4 pieces of bread and 1 teaspoon of mayo(reg fat) and that gives me close to 70g protein right there i use whole wheat bread has 9g of protein per 2 slices plus a little bit of carbs........fat is helpful to you i would measure your fat and aim for 1 g of dietary fat per 2 pounds bodyweight once you get the protein and fat on track the most important part is being in a caloric deficit after that i usually do this by adjusting my carbs , even on cutting i add more protein (1.5 per pound of bw) and lower carbs as it helps me stay full as carbs tend to make me hungry
 
I just added up what I have taken in today (protein) and I am actually eating more than I thought. I have had 102gms and still have to eat dinner (chicken stir fry) tonight.

Edited my typo - I meant protein.

Shoot for at least a gram of protein for each pound lean mass.
 
Some background:

age: 35 Y/O male
Height 5'5"
Weight 185 (down from 195 6 weeks ago)

I am doing three days of strength training with cardio 3 days a week on a stationary bike for 30 minutes at 85% MAX HR (145-158 BPM).

I do drink 3-4 12oz cans of coke a day and need to cut down. Other than that I have cut out the fast food diet (was eating there four times a week). I do not eat red meat and stick to chicken and lean pork. I eat pasta and whole grain rice. Any suggestions?

If that's not diet Coke, then you are just sucking down tablespoons of table sugar. :eek:
 
I am transitioning to diet now. I understand that this is a source of concentrated carbs that I need to reduce and replace with more complex carbohydrates but I would be impossible to live with if I just cut it all together. I get serious headaches without the caffeine so I am going to go over to diet soda. I am drinking more water than ever now.
 
Just take caffeine tablets. That's what I do.
 
I get headaches too. sometimes. After two days its over. You should try to get to where you're not scared to drop caffeine. Your body will thank you for it! Surely you can get to where you can go caffeine-less for a week or two. I feel wonderful when I do.
 
I would suggest doing exercise is the best way to loose weight.
 
I am approaching this endeavor as a way to live heathier and live longer. I started converting to diet at work this weekend because that is where I tend to drink the most soda pop. Out of the 4-5 cans I usually drink only the one in the morning was regular pop. With watching my total intake daily and getting a handle on the foods that I have routinely eaten (junk food) and replacing them with better choices I am losing inches and pounds now. I know this has to be an all around change so that exercise gives results in concert with a sound diet. This place is really helping me stay focused on that goal.
 
Leave in the caffeine - it helps mobilize fat, very helpful when dieting.

No need to cut fats down low while cutting - fats help with satiety. Just keep the calories below maintenance and you'll lose.

I'm caffeine sensitive :( I get palpitations after just 1 can of swiftly downed red bull.

I think this is karma biting me in the ass for all the vodka red bulls I used to buy for £0.90 on nights out before I knew they were a heart attack in a glass.
 
I hope slow gradual changes work for you.

I'm 19, and I'm the only person out of my friends who doesn't eat chips and fried fast food. If I eat fast food it's always something like jerked chicken with rice and peas and vegetables, which is not really fast food but you cant have jerked chicken without the skin! I hate it 3 times this week I feel ashamed :(

But yea, I don't ever even think about eating chips. Even when my mum buys me fish and chips I just remove the flour skin from the fish, give the chips to my bro and either use brown bread or if there is some rice, I use that instead and I don't even crave the chips over the bread. My body just got used to it hope yours can too :D

lol...
Too much caffeine for me and I will have anxiety attack symptoms. I had them when i was younger. AFter that, high amounts of caff will give me palpitations as well. And alcohol is known to give some people palpitations...karma...well...thats another issue.
But most systems that use karma really believe that karma isnt necessary a payback, as most view it, but just an answer to what you asked for. So, basically yea it is!
