Calorie-Based Physique Modification

[Mclovin]

This is the collective name for the diet principles I have put together. I will begin following this diet tomorrow and will post updated pictures on Getbig showing my progress. I am currently in the 20% bodyfat range, so I have a lot of weight to lose. Below you will find a basic summary of CBPM, and I will continue to add to it as time goes on...this is a work in progress. CBPM shares many things in common with The Adonis Principles, as I consider The True Adonis one of the all-time great natural bodybuilders and a true inspiration of mine. Here are the basics of what I will be doing with CBPM over the next couple weeks.

1) I will consume between 1,800 and 2,200 calories at least six days a week. On days that I workout, I will be closer to 2,200; days that I don't workout, I will be closer to 1,800.
2) I will probably have one cheat day per week, in which I will likely drink a lot of beer. I will still try to not go overboard on my calories from food. I will probably phase this out as time goes on.
3) I will try to eat relatively healthy foods, including several servings of fruit and vegetables ever day. However, this will not be the typical "clean food only" bodybuilding diet. I will still eat some fried chicken, french fries, etc from time to time.
4) I will try to workout 5 times a week. Some of these workouts may be cardio-only, mainly consisting of running.
5) On days when I lift, I will try to eat about 200 grams of protein (or 1 gram per lb of bodyweight). On days that I don't lift, I will probably just shoot for about 125 grams.
6) Almost all of my protein will come from regular food. The only exception is that I might have a smoothie with protein powder in it after I workout. I will take no other supplements, not including caffeine or vitamins.
7) I will typically eat about 4 meals a day, with breakfast and lunch being the largest.
I will average at least 8 hours of sleep per night.

As you can see, CBPM allows for a great deal of flexibility and should not be that hard to stick with. By applying these principles, I hope to take my physique to the next level. If anyone has any questions or would like to know how they too can take their physiques to the next level, feel free to ask. Finally, I want to say thanks to The True Adonis for all the motivation and guidance he has provided to all of us here at Getbig!

I will try to get some starting-point pictures up here by early next week. Right now, I am drinking beer and eating pizza while I get ready to start CBPM tomorrow.

[Mclovin]

By the way, CBPM is a totally interactive diet program. So if anyone has any suggestions, feel free to add them to this thread. I will then conduct a thorough evaluation of the suggestions and decided which can be added to CBPM.

I can tell you are dying for a response, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume this is serious....good luck!

imo if you think you are 20% bodyfat but are not a big guy and more like skinny fat its best to not diet but instead eat more to build up and be happy with 10-14 percet bodyfat

if you are a big dude at 20% then those calories would be certainly too low

how ever your routine 'could' somehow work, im not underestimating the ability of proper guess work

1-1800 cals a day? does your workout routine consist of reading a book?
2-alcohol always interferes with absorption of nutrients
3-what is from "time to time"? If you are going to eat junk food thats fine, but moderate diet = moderate results. what u put in is what u get out
4-just do 15 minutes of HIIT 4 days a week on elliptical or sprint - much more effective for adipose tissue reduction than boring 45, moderate intensity cardio
5-what is what extra 75 grams of protein gonna "really do" for you on days u lift or dont? This is not a rational idea. Seriously - a few extra chicken breasts gonna really make that difference? if your getting just .8-1g of protein everyday regardless of lifting or not, thats fine. dont overload on protein. you cant FORCE your body to utilize anymore than it can!!
6-you dont need a protein shake! solid food is completely fine! you are doing ok on this part. I used to believe the '1 hour window' after workout regimen, but seriously - if your body isnt getting the most it can from the other 5-6 solid meals a day, that protein shake aint gonna make or break it.
7-eat 5-6 smaller meals a day. this is most importantly from the scientific community suggesting this, not just bodybuilding meatheads.

you need to seriously reconsider what you are doing - workout wise and nutrition because what you have is getting you nowhere fast.

eat junk - look like junk
eat clean - look good. This doesnt mean you have to eat clean all year - give yourself cheat meals if it satisfies you occasionally. avoid junk processed food, workout hard, incorporate a lot of cardio in your training - you will easily be sub 10% bodyfat in a number of months. its that easy

i think you fvckin nailed it bro= falcon genetics

Surely he should add meth,steroids and weed to be in the relm of the falcon? 

[Mclovin]

The first day of my new program has gone well so far. I have eaten about 1,550 calories and will probably have one more small meal before bed. I worked out earlier today and did some cardio, rear delts, traps, calves, and biceps. Stay tuned for more excitement to come!

[Mr. Magoo]

looks like a good diet for someone that weighs 140-150.
