I have been trying the ‘Dont Diet’ diet, with the P+C and P+F meals. Im typically not the type A, paranoid kind of guy with regards to eating, but I really wanted to stick to this plan. Now, I am paranoid about what I am putting into my body, cant eat this, cant eat that, and my P+F and P+C meals are calorically waaaay under what I should be eating. Im putting in less than 1900 cals (I am 6’6" and weigh 210, 15% BF). I am about to abandon this plan because I have NO energy (I passed out on the floor two nights ago, couldnt make it to bed). I want to know if anyone has a ‘plan’, not just sending me to berardi’s plan outline, or just tossing oatmeal with a couple scoops of protein, but does anyone have a list of what they eat on a daily basis. We all should be keeping food logs, I would like to know if anyone would share theirs so those of us who are having a hard time staying with this could get some support.
Cutting…Meal1…Oatmeal, Egg Whites…Meal2…Veggies…Meal3…Brown Rice, Veggies,Chicken Breast,Fruit…Meal4…String Cheese OR tuna with olive oil…Meal5…Peanut Butter, Flax Oil, and Protien Powder with Water…Meal6…Cottage Cheese with Whey Protien…1900 Cals, 40P,30F,30C…Maintenance…Meal1…Oatmeal, Egg Whites, Fat Free Yogurt, Protien Powder, Fat Free Milk…Meal2…Veggies…Meal3…Peanut Butter, Flax Oil, and Protien Powder with water…Meal4…Whole Wheat Bread, Tuna, Veggies…Meal5…Brown Rice, Veggies, Steak, Fruit, Fat Free Milk, Protien Powder…Meal6…Cottage Cheese and Protien Poweder…3000 cals, 43P,21F,36C…Also on the weekends I ave a huge Salmon Veggie Omlet. I’m never hungry do to the frequency of eating, and I’m just a lucky person in that I don’t get bored eating the same thing over and over. The only thing I found restictive at first with this style of eating is the carbs. The only non-fruit or veggie carbs I eat are whole grain bread, brown rice, and rolled oats, but I’ve found if you have fruit or veggies anytime you would want a different carb source it really helps. Well that’s how I eat. Enjoy.
Doesn’t the diet call for a lot more calories than that?
Sure, here’s a plan. Stick to the diet AS HE PRESENTED IT!!! Why does everybody insist on modifying what was presented, and then complain about “lack of energy” and lack of expected results? He gives the caloric recommendations that he does for a reason. If you’re going to tinker with that, at least start with what he recommends and deviate little by little to what works for you. The name of the eating plan is “Don’t Diet,” but that’s exactly what you’re doing.
Tim: 6’6",210 lbs, and you’re consuming 1,900 cals??? A small woman (and this is a generality),should average somewhere around 1000-1200 cals per/day. Somewhere you have gotten WAY off in your calculations. I would look over those numbers carefully. No wonder you passed out! Let us know what you find out, then we could go from there…
mini: Got a recipe for that Salmon Omlette? Sounds like something to add to the 'ole Musclehead Recipe folder!
Mufasa
4 egg whites, 1 whole egg, 6 oz. poached salmon(prepared seperately), handful of steamed spinach(prepared seperately), 1/4 diced white onion, 1 habenero(optional, but damn I like 'em spicy and right now I have about 35 from my garden.)Habenero, now there is a T-Veggie. I like tomatoe too but it seems to make the omelet too wet. Learned my omelet cooking techinique from watching the guys at hotels.

This is for bulking obviously. Cutting is similar but i cut the carbs in half or less and drop some of the fats also. On non workout days, i replace some grains with steamed veggies and don’t take pre or post workout drink (obviously!).
