How to lose weight - Cut out 1/3 of your daily food intake!

[Henda]

I like jeffs approach.
If i want to lose a bit fat i cut out breakfast and do cardio instead.
Never been supper ripped nor desire too and i know this approach wont achieve that but its ideal for leaning out with little effort.

I'm a hybrid.  I utilize both approaches,  if I'm not doing anything...nothing coming up on the social calendar,  I will eat clean and somewhat normal, I always eat protein rich meals, 60/30/10. Probably why at 49 I'm still mid 230's.

But if I went to look SICK because I know there is a big party or something, and I will need to dominate the smaller,  weaker guests... I drop the hammer gal/none/OTH style and suck all the water and bloat out.

Thats going in the Getbig 2013 quotes for sure.   

If I decide to compete again or get shredded then I would alter the diet Im currently on
I would just drop down to chicken, fish, veg and rice and just drink water.
To get the last bit of fat and water off does take that extra effort but I can easily get to 6% using the diet I am on now.

Oh Yeah.  Fact of life (for me anyway)....It's Over as far as pigging out..... subs,  loaded meat pizza, etc,  etc.  The metabolism isn't what it used to be. the shit just stays with me for a week.  Even two years ago it was a totally different story. Getting old.....ugh.

[ukjeff]

I have never been a big eater.
I cant eat a three course meal in a restraunt, a real lightweight, if I go for a carvery I only have a small one.
I see people having soup and bread roles, a huge carvery piled up on a massive plate and the massive cakes.

Wow! That's really impressive.





















BTW: How much money have you earned year to date?





























I didn't think so.

So u don't think there's a minimum protein requirement, e.g., one gram per pound of bodyweight, for those seeking to maximum muscle mass and minimize fat?

Also, do u think the emphasis that others place on on consuming virtually all protein, while on their calorie restricted diets, e.g., 1000 calories or less, is misplaced; and one could eat bread or pasta, rather than chicken breasts and other lean protein, and obtain the same result?  

I believe once you go into a calorific deficit you wont be gaining much muscle size anyway, so high levels of protein are not all that important.
I have never really had much faith in the 1grm per pound/per kilo ratios, they are all just broscience anyway.
Some people need high protein to grow and some can grow on smaller amounts.

Im not going to criticise gal and no ones approach because it does work, its just not for me and it's probably not for others, I simply cant go zero carbs without going hypo.
My diet is an alternative, thats all.

I agree with this protein in overrated. Most of the hype is by protein companies to get your money you can get what you need from eating the right foods.

unless you are on gear

Yep, the body is better able to absorb and use the protein when drugs are in the mix.

that is because your diet is not optimal.

Hey that's great. An 8th grade mentality to go along with your lack of brain cells.
















You still haven't answered the question: what are your earnings year to date?













Too painful to think about?

















Can you say "loser"?

LOL

[no one]

What about it is not optimal? Is it the amount of calories? The type of calories? The timing? Something else.

what isnt optimal is the fact he cannot gain lean tissue while being on anabolics even though he's 'dieting'

in a severe cal deficit one can grow lean tissue if their diets are optimal.

Can you define optimal.

[ukjeff]

Do u have any evidence to support this in the form of peer-reviewed studies or otherwise? Or is this just more of the "broscience" that u decry above?

http://www.livescience.com/3349-steroids-work.html

Once ingested, an AAS travels through the blood stream to the muscle tissue. It is drawn into the muscle cell's receiving dock, called an androgen receptor. Once delivered to the muscle cell, the steroid can interact with the cell's DNA and stimulate the protein synthesis process that promotes cell growth.

Basic i know, but there are more scientific papers out there if you choose to look,

[ukjeff]

meal5, 300cals,

6oz ribeye sauce and veg around 700 cals

[no one]

Can you define optimal.

yes.

[cephissus]

hm a 3rd less cals.so if im eating 5k cals daily, and cut that to 3300,ill lose weight?

i lost over 50 lbs doing this, hth

[cephissus]

I just don't agree with the whole calorie is a calorie thing. If you eat 2000 cals per day of mcdonalds for a month and then 2000 cals per day of "clean" food like chicken and oats for a month you will look very different at the end of those 2 diets.

do it and post pics or stfu

If you are currently seeking to lose weight and your weight is static
Simply cut out 1/3 of your daily food intake.
It doesn't matter what you eat as long as you reduce your portion size.
You can lose weight like this without altering your current lifestyle one bit.

After 1 month if you stick to it, you will have lost weight.
If not, you didn't stick to it.

If you are gaining weight at the moment cut your food portions in half for one month.

If you have made it to here you owe me £20.

And the advice is worth £20, I am sure.

Eat less and you will weigh less, it really is just that simple. One thing that helps is to eat less, but eat more often. If you don't want to fuck your metabolism, you need to keep feeding and fooling your body into believing it is not going to starve.

As long as a diet is realistic and not deprivation, most people should be able to stick with it.

Lately, as soon as I start feeling a little full, I stop eating that meal. Makes for some leftovers for the dogs, but I feel better. Incidentally, I am not trying to lose weight, just stay between 200 and 210, which I have done for the past couple of years.

Ate out tonight at P.F. Changs. Ordered scallops with brown rice and peanuts. All in all pretty healthy stuff. There are some scallops in the icebox for lunch tomorrow. I did eat a lot of the crispy green beans.

good thread jeff

one question, and this is something i've always wondered when i read stuff like this, when you say "200g chicken", what EXACTLY do you mean?  just 200g plain chicken breast?  any seasoning?  sauteed, baked, or what?

just eating a slab of, say, sauteed chicken completely by itself is the one "bodybuilder food" thing i have never even tried.  it's about the most unappetizing thing i can think of...
