Well, I’m just about complete with week one of my 12 week, lose the gut plan! Its been hell, but I feel good and confident that I will reach my ultimate goal of losing these love handles and gaining a little more size.
The Plan
Every Meal I down two tall glasses of ICECOLD water
I divide my multivitamins (3 times w/ three meals)
Take Flaxseed Oils (3 times w/ three meals)
This is my basic guideline diet. It changes now and then, but I’ve remained pretty consistent. I have to get a meal in at least every 3-4 hours max. I’ve really felt better eating smaller meals like this. If I cant get the meal in, I make it a point to at least have a protein shake and grab some kind of fruit.
Meal 1 (8:30 AM)
1 potato
Protein Shake (2 scoops of whey mixed with skim milk)
1 cup oatmealMeal 2 (11:00 AM)
Cottage Cheese
1 cup oatmealWorkout (100-230 PM)
Meal 3 (2:30 PM)
Protein Shake Immediately after Exercise and drain a Large GatoradeCardio Session (4:00pm) Around 30 minutes or so.
Meal 4 (5:30 PM)
4-6 ounces of lean turkey
2 slices of wheat bread
SaladMeal 5 (7:30 PM)
200 calories of Efas in a 3:1 ratio of omega 3′s-6′s
8 oz Fish
Mixed SaladMeal 6 (9 PM)
200 calories of Efas in a 3:1 ratio of omega 3′s-6′s
Chicken breast
Mixed Salad
I train twice a day now. In the afternoon at 1:00pm (1 hour to an hour and a half) I weight train and at 4:00pm I cardio (30 minutes). I split it up so my muscles have some time to recoup before I train again.
It’s great to see how more and more people are really started to take greater care of their health. I’ve blogged about it before as to how health conscious I am. I do a 4 week split with my training. Two protein drinks a day along with Glutamin for faster recovery.
I was always told never to drink or at least gulp water with meals, the water actually forces the food through your system faster and so your body does not get the chance to benefit from the diet or foods.
Jorgeq: Im on suppliments too. I’ll post more about this later. I have a 5 day split, but this is the first week I added cardio to the equation along with a really healthy diet.
Adam: I dont know about that. I slam about a gallon to a gallon and a half of water a day, and my digestion is great. I’ve reaped the rewards of drinking plenty fluids, by putting on over 45 ibs of solid muscle the past three years. This is the first time however, that Im attempting to get abs!
i need to start eating healthier…
OMG – I LOVE this layout!!! *yoink* I’m putting that on reserve for a bit for sure!
And good luck with the plan!
I bet all that water makes you sweat alot more too huh? ;p
Nice, new layout. It’s original and sleek.
Anyway, this was one of my Transitionals and I’ll probably write up that one soon. :P
Nice diet. Get those Omega’s in… olive oil is great for that. Oooo, I love Whey Protein.
I get the Omega’s in my last two meals. ;)
I have trouble with the water part with the diet that I am working on. I can’t take more than 6 a day.. I just get so.. dizzy. So I stick with 6.
Good luck with that diet and I hope that you attain the goal that you are setting for yourself. Well, considering that most of it comes from determination to continue, I’m sure you can.
HEy hey hey.. look who’s being a health buff now!!!
So what do you do for cardio?
30 minutes of power walking, 5 days a week. Power Walking burns more fat then conventional running does, and I have learned through research. 8 pounds lost so far. My belly is starting to tighten up in the front. The love handles will be last to go. Just have to keep working on it!
Off topic, but you are the Theme King…haha. Love it.
Oy… where are you?
Im here on Guam? Where are you? lol
I will post a link to this website on my website. I?m sure my readers will think of this info really useful.
I pray that someday I will have a blog as good as yours! :) I talk about the great weight loss achievments with resveratrol.
Hi, its great to read some info my a fellow nutrition and fitness enthusiast. I personally am not a fan of whey protein, I know that on paper it is very efficient. But i have always wondered of the dairy aspect. A protein straight from milk, something great for weight loss and weight gain depending on usage but in terms of some folks you may find yourself to have a low metabolic tolerance to dairy (some people find the same with wheat). I prefer to diversify and try different proteins. This is all my personal opinion of course but i find all our body’s are different and you must do your own search to find the right form of powder for you. i personally shift between promasil and myofusion with some mutant mass if i feel like bulking or even as a recovery drink after a power cardio workout (such as plyo).
