Title: Cardio Question
Post by: disturbia on August 07, 2010, 01:23:10 PM
I was doing HIIT trainiing for cardio but Im still too heavy and its murdering my joints. I am switching to a fast (4.0 mph) walk on a slight incline on the treadmill. Now based on the fact my main interest is losing weight (have to be 237 by Sept 23 MULTIPLE $ weight loss bets (262 today)), and can go morning, afternoon, evening, whenever. How often do you think I should go and for what length of time sessions? Also here is what I eat


Meal 1 12 egss whites 2 yolks
Meal 2 8oz chicken with green beans
Meal 3 50g whey with 2 tablespoons all natural peanutbutter
Meal 4 8oz salmon with 1 cup asparagus
this is a shake that I miss sometimes
Meal 6 8oz chicken with some green veggy
Meal 7 50 grams whey in water

Now an unmentioned high profile name is doing my diet and everything (not Palumbo he doesnt give a shit) so what he says I will follow to a T, but I am ultra curious what cardio suggestions people have as this person is mainly with me for my eating plan

Thanks
ps--today is cheat meal day--weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

just do whatever type of cardio u can, it doesnt matter bro.

With the type of diet you're doing, you probably dont want to be doing too intense of cardio, but you have a good amount of fat on you, so i wouldnt worry too much bout that. Just get your heart rate up and keep it up for an extended period of time, thats all that matters.

thats way more meals and way more protein than you need. disturbia you could cut down nicely on three meals a day, 50 grams protein in each meal. you can eat some carbs too ya know! they arent the enemy. they may slow down fat loss a tad, but with the benefit of retaining more muscle. and you dont need to do alot of carbs, just take in 20-30 grams of carbs, like a banana, before and after your workout. thats all you need.

a nice sample diet for disturbia:



breakfast: 2 cups egg whites 1 yolk and veggies

lunch: 10 ounce chicken breast and veggies.

_____pre training : banana

_____post training: banana

dinner: 10 ounces steak and veggies + fish oil

you eating too much. only a guy like jay, kai, and victor need to eat that many meals and that much protein. all that is going to do is slow your fat loss down. beyond 1 gram per pound lean body weight is excessive.

Disturbia, I hope your taking some Glucosamine & Chondroitin. Should help with any joint issues. As much cardio as I do, thus far no problems what so ever.

Your diet, seems like alot of food but if your dropping weight and shit then do with what works for you. Just remember, the more weight you loose ya gotta lighten up on calories

When prepping for a show i usually start at 30 mins and increasing a little every few weeks until I'm at 1 hour!  Around 5-6 days a week!  I know there is a lot of talk against this, but I've usually done this first thing in the morning on an empty stomach!


I also do 15-20 mins HITT cardio in the evening after my work out usually like 2-3 times a week sometimes 4, depending how much I need to drop....  which usually is a lot!

Fast walking on a decent incline is the way to go. Try doing 30 min first thing in the morning at 10% or higher and 3.5 - 4 mph. Addf 20-30 min 2-3 times per week AFTER lifting. Good luck

Drop the 2 tbsps of 'all natural peanut butter.'  That's just silly unless you're queer for peanut butter or something.  Add a little olive oil or butter IN MODERATION to the veg or a swig of fish oil to each meal instead.  

I'd drop shakes off the menu too.  You want food volume - a full belly.  Liquids won't do that.  Veggies and beans are great for volume vs caloric density.

Don't tie yourself to the same diet day after day.  "Eat real food, not too much, mostly plants."

Do low impact cardio.  Cycling, rowing, swimming, stepper.  Quit pounding that treadmill.  Walking is fine.

 ::) ::)

I agree. I do 25-30 minutes after my workout everyday.

I don't get a good enough sweat from the usual; bike, elliptical or treadmill.

Im trying to get back in shape for muay thai and skipping works best. make sure you have good music and get in the zone. [no homo on the zone thing, just can't have any distractions]

Too many veggies and beansd may get him leaner but egads Batman the gas he will blow out his ass will keep any babe away from him for miles. He would be better off at his present wt and less stinky hehe

There may be a transition period of a couple days while his stomach adjusts to it.  :D  No troll.  I eat a lot of beans and veg when dieting and really don't get a gas problem.

For sheer stinkiness tho, nothing beats protein farts.

im telling you, too much protein. its only going to slow down your fat loss. you may have, at the most, 160-170lbs of lean mass. your eating, what, 300-350grams of protein? thats almost double what you need.  all that extra protein is going to do is "get in the way" of fat burning.

also, if your eating that little carbs on a daily basis your going to experience a metabolic slow down pretty quickly. youd be much better off lowering your protein so that your burning off as much fat as possible on your low carb days, and then incorporate more frequent "carb up" days. not just a "cheat meal". those are good for mental sanity, but overeating fats doesnt do shit for your muscles or your metabolism. you need carbs, not junk food, in order to boost metabolism, fill up your muscles, and keep strength up.

absolutely. 1 gram per lb lean body mass for optimal growth and recovery. disturbias got maybe, maximum, 170lbs lean mass. and thats being generous. he's eating more than double what he needs to eat to sustain his muscle and recover from his workouts.

aceto suggests 1.5 PER POUND of WEIGHT (or lbm?correct me if im wrong)

Hmm, got to disagree here - firstly, he's not eating 300-350 grams of protein in that diet - more like 250.

I don't think he's taking in too much either - even during weight loss fat loss you should be taking in 1.5 grams per pound of bodyweight (not lean bodyweight) to maintain muscle whilst dropping carbs and doing cardio to initiate fat reduction.

My first thought when I looked at his diet was that it probably wasn't enough - but then we're all different - I would starve on that.

 1 gram per pound of lean body weight. and that is more than enough. actually, its 2 grams per kilogram, which is slightly less than 1 gram per pound.   ;)  you will never find any science or studies to back up a protein intake higher than that. you will find some "gurus" who think more is better, but the body doesnt work that way, not even on massive amounts of juice3 and training like a savage. moreover, when dieting the goal is to eat as little as possible to sustain mass while losing bodyfat as quickly as possible. yoru not trying to be anabolic, your just trying to avoid catabolism.

Lol@all the people trying to tell Josh how to diet, when he has a guy that gets guys in shape for a living doing his diet. Epic lolz.
Where is you guys National winning conditioning? Where is your olympia caliber conditioning? Where is the guys paying you to do there diets? Everyone is quick to say "well this is what science says your body is gonna do", then why do you have nothing to show for all your "knowledge"? Sometimes what science says, isnt exactly how shit works in the real world.
Just like Im finding out at school where we build race engines. What works flies in the face of science a lot of the time. Physicists say that wont work, all you need is this, but the fact is that the human body is a very complex mechanism that people dont fully understand, just like the internal combustion engine. To think you know more than the guys that do it for a living cause science says so, is absolutley absurd.
Bombz I really like most of your advice, but the fact is that its like you arguing how to build a race engine with a guy that builds NASCAR motors, and you just finished rebuilding your 1st small block chevy in your pickup truck.  :-\

that diet shows exactly how jim is behind the times.

its the typical keto type that he's been using since he first read about it.

however the lack of carbs may not be ideal for josh as he's a manic depressive/ bipolar.

the lack of seratonin producing carbs will not do much to help improve his moods.

if josh manages to stick to through, he will have to overcome his moods, his cravings, and his very biological demand for carbs. this will require a tremendous feat of will power from josh.

i would suggest a better approach would be for josh to go down my own route ( that he knows about from my pm) but basically it is what adonis and wavelength have been advocating here for a long time.

the science backs it as being just as effective as the keto diet, easier to stick too, and perhaps biologically more suitable for someone in josh's situation.

Why are you guys trying to get him to change? The worst thing he can do now is start changing things around.
Hes goin with someone who is proven to get the man in shape... let him do it. If he isnt happy or something, next time he can try something different.

You guys are like a bunch of women constantly trying to get their friend to break up with their BF and date this guy they know, cause hes "perfect" for them (the friend).

Josh has already said hes not interested in your guys diet advice, hes set on Disgusted's diet. And I dont blame him. Even if hes behind the times, hes proven he can get people into shape.
None of you can say the same.

actually, i hope you get in shape! im only trying to help you get faster results. your eating more protein than you need to, and too many meals. its going to slow down your fat loss. why suffer a no carb and low fat diet if your going to slow down fat loss by overeating protein? doesnt make any sense dude. just trying to help.. didnt even have your stupid bet with goodrum in my head.  :)

Tbomz is correct.  That is WAY too much food for a natural over 40 who's trying to lose a lot of weight.
WAY too much food.  And disturbia, I'm seriously wishing you the best of luck in this.

just out of absolute pure curiousity, with everyone having an opinion on the diet thing,....

what is the Calorie Number you would have me on daily

assuming 1 hour a day cardio 6/week and weights 4-5 times a week
2500 a day avg but cycle that to prevent burn out. You are trying to get leaner! You need to move the numbers on the scale and simply preserve muscle. HAVE ,  5 meals a day with around 500 cals each,  good quality protein and complex carbs with low fat.
The more complicated it becomes the less likely you are to stay with it for the next 100 plus days .  Good luck :)

thats way more meals and way more protein than you need. disturbia you could cut down nicely on three meals a day, 50 grams protein in each meal. you can eat some carbs too ya know! they arent the enemy. they may slow down fat loss a tad, but with the benefit of retaining more muscle. and you dont need to do alot of carbs, just take in 20-30 grams of carbs, like a banana, before and after your workout. thats all you need.

a nice sample diet for disturbia:



breakfast: 2 cups egg whites 1 yolk and veggies

lunch: 10 ounce chicken breast and veggies.

_____pre training : banana

_____post training: banana

dinner: 10 ounces steak and veggies + fish oil

I was doing HIIT trainiing for cardio but Im still too heavy and its murdering my joints. I am switching to a fast (4.0 mph) walk on a slight incline on the treadmill. Now based on the fact my main interest is losing weight (have to be 237 by Sept 23 MULTIPLE $ weight loss bets (262 today)), and can go morning, afternoon, evening, whenever. How often do you think I should go and for what length of time sessions? Also here is what I eat


Meal 1 12 egss whites 2 yolks
Meal 2 8oz chicken with green beans
Meal 3 50g whey with 2 tablespoons all natural peanutbutter
Meal 4 8oz salmon with 1 cup asparagus
this is a shake that I miss sometimes
Meal 6 8oz chicken with some green veggy
Meal 7 50 grams whey in water

Now an unmentioned high profile name is doing my diet and everything (not Palumbo he doesnt give a shit) so what he says I will follow to a T, but I am ultra curious what cardio suggestions people have as this person is mainly with me for my eating plan

Without AAS, what is the maximum amount of protein the body can absorb and use in a given time period? I've heard 40 g after a workout is about the most and the rest is excess, though I can't recall seeing any source for the information.

I think the post workout protein absorption questions have always been in regards to protein powder. Some guys will take a couple scoops of protein which is close to 60 grams when the body can only process/absorb close to 30-35 grams of whey at a time. I remember reading a while back although no source that you can take 50g or something similiar to that at a time of actual food. Chicken, Beef, Fish.

Yes gaining muscle will result in weight gain due muscle weighing more than fat hence just weight per se on the scales doesnt tell the whole story. If your goal is pure weight loss not muscle gain then just do cardio and diet however muscle loss will occur it all depends on what you want to achieve. Maybe some light weight lifting to keep muscle tone would be the ticket plus the diet and cardio.

If anything, lifting will preserve more lean muscle as you diet. And the same number of calories can sustain more fat than muscle, so you'll probably end up lighter and looking better. See for instance: http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abstract/47/1/19

couple thoughts here from my extensive experience of losing and gaining weight for yrs before getting it under control..

IMO you are too soon into your weight loss journey to be doing cheat meals. You shouldn't be longing for foods of yester year at this point because you just stopped eating them so recently. I think it will offset your progress more than help you at this point. I was about 6 weeks into my weight loss and doing great before I allowed cheat meals. The danger was just to high that not having formed the good habits, I would fall back into my old habits if I had them. So get some time, and some pounds off before considering them

Absolutley lift weights. You are not in a contest to lose the most weight on a scale in a given period of time. You are in a contest to look better than Goodrum. If you don't lift weights, you will lose muscle mass with the reduced calories you are probably consuming (going out on a ledge here considering the gaining weight on the cheat meals). Along with the cardio, the weight training will help you maintain and build some muscle while you lose body fat. For you, thats possible. Weight lifting itself burns calories and increases metabolism.

There are other fat burning things you can do athat incorporate both. For example, take a 45 lbs plate or Olympic bar  and do clean and jerk type explosive movemements for al the reps you can do in a minute, rest 30 seconds and repeat about 10 times.

initially my goal was weight loss and weight loss only due to multiple weight loss bets I was in. But as time went on I said fuck the weight loss I want to have some muscle and look the best I possibly can. So I conceded the weight loss bets in exchange for doing this properly.  And hopefully it will pay off.
