I'm not interested in having OTH explain why it works. Who cares? If you try it, you know it works, and that's all that really matters. It worked perfectly for me my last show. Here's what I ate, every day, like clockwork. Just stopped caring about what I ate (this is not how I eat normally, by the way):
Meal one: 8 egg whites, 1 piece of fat-free cheese slice, as many tomatoes or lettuce as I want
Meal two: 50g of protein from whey protein shake in water
Meal three: 8 oz of chicken breast baked, as much lettuce or green peppers as I want
Meal four: same as meal two
Meal five: same as meal three
Meal six: same as meal two
Dropped 50lbs (yes, I got real fat in the off-season) in 20 weeks.
Those who can't, teach. Those who can, win.
Questions for OTH:
1. do you put spices on the chicken and egg whites? Or is it just plain?
2. do you let yourself eat red meat on the plan (lean stuff, like eye of round, or flank, etc...), or just fish/egg whites/chicken breast?
3. you believe cheat meals are ok once or twice per week? Or you just gun hard on your body until show day?
