Realize that “diet” isn’t something you do for a few weeks and then go back to what you did before. It is a part of your daily life, that you have to watch and adjust as needed. This is much easier in the long run than getting on the “yo-yo” of dieting that so many people do.
Water Water Water Water Water all day long as much as you can handle.
Drink until your pee is clear, then keep on drinking.
Ways I go about doing this is having a jug at my desk that I consistently work on. And when I’m walking around the building going from here to there I stop at every drinking fountain I walk past for an 8 count.
Don’t take your fiber supplements at night before bed if that’s the same time you tend to take your fish oil supplements. The fiber absorbs the fat. Instead, take the fiber with one of your P+C meals – however, not the first post-workout P+C meal, as then you still want a relatively high insulin effect.
Eat most of your carbs for the day around the time you work-out and for the rest make sure fat intake is optimum. If i should win, i would like some Low-Carb Grow! vanilla please.
eat more food and more food eat often. The more food you eat the less food you will crave. Never let yourself get hungry so eat every 2 hours. Eat filling meals that way you won’t crave bad foods.
my tip/s is this: the cheat day diet, where u eat right for 6 days and then you have one day to be a pig and enjoy anything works good, and is very satisfying. also, eating 5-6 times a day as opposed to the regular 3 meals a day works as well.
I find that if I mountain bike like a madman 3-6 days a week I don’t have to worry about a diet. You’d be suprised how many calories you burn without thinking when you’re flying down the trail…If I win I’d like some Growl…I mean Grow!
When watching your carbs (or dieting in general), be careful of your condiment usage. Ketchup, BBQ sauce, cocktail sauce and others, are all pretty high in sugar. Plain mustard is fine.
At the start of a cutting cycle, make a list of all the carbs you typically eat in a given week. Then, research the GI, or better, the Insulin index, and list them next to the food source. Organize them into 3 groups, Low, Moderate, High. Stick to the Low for the duration of the cycle.
I find this helpful, because all the lists I’ve seen for low/hi GI carbs, are packed with foods I very rarely eat (barley, couscous, etc.)
Use your weekends to prepare batches of good food for the upcoming week. If you have plenty of pre-made good food, you’re less likely to grab something bad. And throw out all the crap in your refrigerator so you’re not tempted. Forget how much you spent on it, just throw it out. And send me some Red-Kat.
only eat whole foods.
fiber is your friend 25 grams and above daily.
Drink water with every meal.cutting calories to much will lead to bad performance.
Keeping a food log is helpful in eating healthy day in and day out. You should allow yourself one or two cheat meals a week because they taste so damn good.
I would like some mag-10 please.
Varying the foods you eat can prevent you from becoming bored with your diet and can also help you get a wide spectrum of nutrients (just try to keep it within limits–Krispy Kreme is not the kind of variety you want)
