They make this little blank book called a diary where you write this sort of stuff. Try one.

research shows that sharing your goals with others greatly increase the likelyhood that you will reach them

If that be the case....then sounds like you're ready to post up those "before" pics. Attention whore correctly at least.

6-8 weeks

6 meals per day

start at 2000 calories per day, the lowering caloriers by 200 every 2 weeks

not only will i lose fat, i will gain muscle during this time  8)

im thinking 60% carbs, 15% fat 25% protein


I bet you will achieve your desired goals before you know it.

im not bored at all, im excited!

im planning every meal now in detail!



You got me with the advanced meal planning part. I am much more of a spur of the moment type of person. There is no way I could plan exactly what to eat weeks in advance. Guess I will stick with the 'listen to my body' diet.

do you think i should get a professional photographer to take pictures of my abs at the end of the diet?

Yes, because proper lighting is a prerequisite for excellent photographic results....particularly when it comes to abs.

well i try not to overthink it too much, 6 meals is basically breakfast (which most people eat anyway, most of the time the same), lunch and dinner. and add to that 3 small meals (can be very small especially on a diet when you dont need to go overboard with calories, like a banana and a glass of milk)

from my usual diet of way too many soft drinks etc just cutting out that will go a long way

for those 6-8 weeks i will stop drinking sodas, eating snacks, candy and junkfood!



Soda ruins everything. Tonic water with a generous squeeze of real lemon juice is much better. If you snack on a small quantity of either salted or unsalted nuts, it will boosts good fats and protein.

-Makes sense. You will prove the naysayers wrong while feeling some responsibility toward your support and not wanting to let them down.

Okay. However these won't be truly before photos. Right now is before....honestly before you begin on this journey toward your goals.

If you like eating this, canned albacore tuna packed in water is a great way to insure you keep your protein intake high. There are 16g of protein, 0g fat and 70 calories in a 5.4 oz can.  Kirkland Signature brand is great and not too expensive.

I really like tonic water but it is full of sugar too, usually corn syrup.

Gin and tonic on a hot day...refreshing.

32 g of sugar in a 12 oz bottle or 10% of the daily suggested amount of carbs. One drink shouldn't be that big of a deal. If you prefer no sugar, go with club soda, which only has a trace of potassium and salt.

Don't eat canned fish, totally tasteless .........eat fresh fish.

Just like "Coconuts" water & real coconuts juice !.

I'm not phobic on sugar but as a comparison...

Coca-Cola has 39g sugar in 12oz can.

You suggested tonic water was better than soda.

Why is it better?

don't forget grapefruit juice to bind to the drug metabolizing enzyme and the drugs stay active longer in your body

Calories is all that counts.  Eat all the fats you want just not hydrogenated fats.

The macro thing is just a guide.  Don't obsess over it.

Calories in/calories out with a balanced diet.

Everything else is BS.

i got it down to 50% carbs, 30% protein 20% fat

makes it's easy

say i start with 1800 calories, and want to drop 200 calories for week 3-4, all i do is remove 2 bananas from the diet = 1600 calories.

everything else stay the same.
