And if u want to start a contest prep thread that'd be really awesome.

she looks fuckin awesome for any age, being 37 just makes it so much more impressive.

u mind outlining the diet on here bro?? whatcha eating everyday?

Has Beens · « **Reply #20 on:** January 22, 2009, 10:34:37 PM »

I am in the early stages of the diet so I have lots of combos for options.
Protiens are lean beef, chicken, some fish at this point, shakes.
Carbs are generally oatmeal, yams, rice, some fruit, broccolli, grits, potatoes, ect.
I am still around 14 weeks out so I am eating 6-7 meals with approx. 35g protien each, and tapering down 300g carbs daily with each meal. Nothing fancy at this point, just cleaning it up and making sure to keep my intake up. For me, at 8 weeks out it gets very strict and carbs are watched close, pretty much just yams, rice, veggies and oats. Red meat gets less and less and replaced with more fish. Simple but I have found it works for me.

I did that for the longest time, the bloated look may give you more power in the gym, but I dont' think you carry anymore muscle opposed to staying lean year round.
