[ygbodybuilder10]

[bodybuilder1234]

Nope
But what should i eat in the morning?

[prestige]

Eat eggs in the morning like 6 to 8  and half cup of oatmeal  with a piece of fruit

[Saxon]

Stir fry, chicken and tuna sounds really unappetising

Maybe throw in some long grain rice unless you want to stay in ketosis. 

[polychronopolous]

Good performance.

[Spoony Luv]

that diet will easily get you to 6-8%...However after a month of this diet, I would consider cycling some higher carb days in...Like someone mentioned, you will be clawing at the walls with hunger on this...However sometimes abusing your brain can be quite the journey...

 He's getting a little protein in his first meal and I am starting to rethink how necessary BOATLOADS of protein actually is when wanting to add muscle.


 This year. Dec-24th, 2009 I am at my strongest. I probably eat 2-3 x's a day and lucky to get 40g each meal. I rarely ever drink shakes and I keep growing.


 Think about dudes in prison who are making amazing strength gains and breaking through plateaus and let's examine their diets of starchy carbs and mystery meat.


 To get to 'super-ripped' status it's a matter of cardio and a cocktail of t3, cytomel, clenbuterol and eca around the clock.

Said it a few times lately (no-one reads my posts anyway), but i always had high ALT and AST eating even 1.25 grams of protein per pound of BW. Dropped it to around 150 grams a day, and boom both levels in the normal range, never had that before.


A high ALT is telling you something. The body isn't digesting it. It's a waste. My first two years training i gained a lot of strenth, yes everyone should but even eating 5 meals a day i wasn't getting the protein i did in the future.

We are all sucked in to believing we need it, and are too scared to drop it. I experiement with things and thought i'd never tried lowering the protein that 'low' lets see what happens. Consistenty or getting it in when needed is the key you don't need stupid amounts.

[just_a_pilgrim]

I would add eggs and egg yolks at breakfast.

I would also eat real foods (steak and salmon) and no shakes but that's me i think they are pointless.

I would eat some carbs in meals 2 and 3. I would cycle carbs even from the beginning so your metabilism never gets used to it, i always liked a high, medium and low day, cheat meal on the 6th day (high carb day).

Eating carbs only for breakfast and doing this diet you will lose weight but maybe too much muscle. Same with the fat burners, cycle your carbs and only use the fat burners when you hit lower BF and it gets harder to budge, that way your body isn't used to them and they work better when you want them too. I personally wouldn't use them unless you are competiting or need to get down that far but that's me.

Tough diet to stick to but it`ll get you ripped:

Meal 1:
9 eggwhites + 1 whole egg  scrambled in non-fat cooking spray
1 cup of oatmeal ( no milk,use artificial sweetener)
16 oz. water

Meal 2:
1 can water packed tuna
1 baked potato (butter spray)
lg. salad with vinegar and olive oil dressing
16 oz. water

Meal 3:
6 whole eggs
16 oz. water

Meal 4:
6-8 oz. skinless chicken breast
1 cup brown rice
1 cup green beans
g. salad with vinegar and olive oil dressing
16 oz. water

Meal 5:
1 can water packed tuna
1 baked potato (butter spray)
16 oz. water

Meal 6:
1 cup non-fat cottage cheese
1 cup vegies
16 oz. water

Cycle your carbs by doing 3 low days followed by two high days,and drink as much water as possible between meals.

The above is just a sample,bodyweight and activity levels come into play but it`ll get you ripped to shreds.

Some tweaking will be needed as time goes on.

but dont the stiry fry (vegetables) count as carbs?

[just_a_pilgrim]

but dont the stiry fry (vegetables) count as carbs?

Vegtables have carbs but it is a very low amount. You should eat vegtables anyway, but while dieting i found them great because it did help a bit with hunger pains (having something of volume to eat that wasn't taking up many calories).

But still eat carbs. Maybe do it, high day carbs for the first 4 meals, next day 3 meals, last day 2 meals. Maybe a small amount like 30 grams a meal, 60 or more for breakfast. Maybe split up the nuts too into a few different meals.

When you cycle it like that, by the time you hit the high carb day your body just soaks all the carbs up because of how low your levels are (especially if you are doing some cardio). Eating higher carbs on that day just speeds the metabilism up which is what you want.

If you starve yourself of carbs you will get too hungrey and maybe overcompensate with protein, when really your body cannot process excess protein at once. I remember one message board owner who's opinion was if you are losing muscle while dieting hard then eat more protein  .

Protein is high enough IMO, ephedrin is not necessary, reduce calories only to a point where you can still maintain most of your strength in the gym. That's all.

So on low carb days, what and how much should be skipped/taken out? Should anything else increase? Fats? Proteins?
