DMG or Jackel, what would I have to change in that cutting diet of yours in order for it to work for someone that weighs 170lbs, works hard and has a fast metabolism.

thanks in advance

Accually since Olive Oil is an Essential Fatty Acid it helps with the absorbtion of protein. Also, in a bulking diet it helps add some extra calories.

Essential fatty acids are also hormone manipulators..especially after workouts.

For a 175 pound male wanting to bulk, which meal should i lower the calories in order to get about 3400 cals?

Also, i like to make a meal plan, and eat that every single day to make it easier on myself, but im not to sure how well 6 full eggs will help cholesterol problems. What should i do in order to keep that lower, or is it alright to have 6 full eggs a day?

I read in this thread the "you can only consume X amount of protein at a time" statement. I've been reading this for years. I have seen numerous studies both in support and against the idea. So is there a "maximum" amount of protein you can consume at 1 time or this a bodybuilding legend?

I realize that protein consumption should be paced thoughout the day for various other reasons. This point though has confused me for years. Any answers are appreciated especially if they can be backed up with some type of research or information, not speculation.

FYI
The USDA has an adobe Nutritive Value Handbook. It is off the chain with information.

I heard when you cut up you should have no simple sugars in your diet at all because they increase insulin which causes you to store fat. This includes post workout meals. Instead you eat only complex carbs. What do ya'll think? Any merit?

This meal plan is pretty awesome. I do have one question. Is it cool to substitute white rice for the brown?

No doubt a lot of hard work & experience went in to designing these menus.  So...the question is....just what kind of visible & measurable difference can one see in the mirror injesting this 'cutting' menu?  Of course presuming that one has the knowledge & does execute?..........having intermediate to high level of weight training & cardio?

I'm going to give this diet a try, but i have a few questions :)
I weight 202 (and i'm natural), so i think this should work fine. Now my first question is, and this is probably a really stupid question, but since i'm starting a DC training in couple of days, and i'm only working out 3 times a week, should i still keep those pre w/o and post w/o meals during off days? Also, since in DC, the protein req. is quite high, i should probably increase protein amount a little (your diet totals about 300g)?
And how do you feel this particular diet suits DC training in the first place?

Maybe because I'm 40 and natural, but I don't think that cutting diet would make me lose much fat. As you get older, the carbs seem to hit you harder. Until I cut the carbs to 100 grams a day or less, the fat just doesn't come off.

hmmmmm...
both of those diets seem to contain to many calories..
and the bulking diet has you consuming too much prtotein at one time, cutting diet has too many carbs.


no mention of a ketogenic diet or a high fat low carb bulking diet???

a cutting diet doesn't mean no carbs Candizzle!  Once again...you need carbs to stoke your metabolism!  The keto diet is swell at first, but isn't as effective and causes much tissue breakdown if preformed too long.  This cutting diet is right on.  I know that all those carbs seem counterproductive, but they're not...

granted you wont get "ripped" enough for a show, which entails a different prep plan, but you will lose bf.

vitargo, i believe, is a very unique type of carbohydrate that digests as quickly as the high glycemic carbs dextrose and maltodextrin; yet it is complex in its nature and thus doesnt result in the huge insulin spike?

i am not sure, but i THINK that that is why vitargo(waxy maize) is so highly touted.

in my opinion both are unneeded..replenishing glycogen with whole food sources is just as anabolic as doing it within the first 20 minutes of exercise, and you let your body burn large amount sof body fat post exercise when you dont spike your insulin way up right after your done lifting...   the complexity of whole foood carbohydrates keeps insulin very low, and allows for your body to rely almost soley on storeed bofy fat for energy for a long stretch of time where all of the carbs you eat are being shuttled into musclular glycogen stores and all the protein you eat is being rapidly synthesized into new muscle tissue.. but a spike in insulin will prevent this from occuring.

I am all for the protein diet and cardo workout; however; I just can't break away from a hot cup (3 actually) of dark rich coffee with 2 teaspoons of sugar and a splash of whole milk... additionally, as now in the winter down season, I really enjoy 2 cups of Hot Chocoloate with a pinch of cinnmon.. killer for the diet..but man it tastes good..any suggestions as a supplement?
