Food has the same effects on the body as do narcotics. The first few days of changing up your plan and eating a lot less fucks with your head. You start thinking about food all the time. You worry about food. You salivate over everything. You have cravings that fuck with you. Get past it and it all goes away. The body adapts quickly.
Not sure if their plan just has you jumping in head first to 1000 calories or a slow decline to it, but the way you enter the diet, the better chance you have of succeeding.
I looked my best eating light carbs and super low calories. Eating tuna right from the can with squeezed lemon and dry chicken breasts from the oven. I ate so much tuna and chicken that I couldn't even look or think about it without dry heaving. But eventually my appetite went downhill. I went to a celebratory dinner thinking I was going to gorge like no tomorrow and after a few bites of shit food I felt sick and ready to throw up. My brain was like WTF!
The best thing to do is clean out your fridge and pantry before starting. out of sight, out of mind.
Solid advice!
I approach all things with moderation.
As you know, there is a basal metabolic rate that is unique to individuals. Going by what my BMR is and the amount of exercise I put in daily, I can calculate that even with as much as 1,500-1800 calories/day, I would make out pretty well with my weight loss.
Like I said, I am roughly about 15 pounds over, but it's not as if I carry these extra pounds in a bad way. By losing those 15 pounds, I would have a very defined 6-pack and more vascularity overall. Right now, I already have a 4-pack with the bottom two abs covered in fat, but that doesn't make me depressed or anything.
I am just looking for better ways to diet on a day-to-day basis. I want to adjust my diet in such a way that it runs on autopilot with very little fluctuation, but while still appreciating what I eat....somewhat.
I am not prepping for any shows, nor do I want to look like a seasoned NPC competitor or IFBB pro, I just want more ideas to better my dietary approach.
I know that Gal & no one's approach works by way of sheer logic alone, but I also seek to learn about food quantities within meals, particular foods used (seasoning included) and cheat meal inclusion.
Again, this is more for edification purposes, because I am not necessarily unhappy with the way I look, moreover, I just want more tips and tricks for my own knowledge and a lot of these guys (Gal, no one, OTH, TrueAdonis, ukjeff etc.) keep in shape year round.
