I noticed that the other day too. Probably just the screwy board software
This is my second time on the diet. I chickened out the most recent time I was GOING to try it (as mentioned in this thread).
I maintained my weight well up until about two months ago when my job started driving me nuts and my exercise time was reduced. Plus I want to be leaner this time around than when I tried it the first time. I’m on the 6th day of it. I find the diet easy once I’m about 5 days in.
So how is it going on the Rapid Fat Loss? Are you gnawing off your arm yet? How many cals are you allowing? That shouldn’t be to much info.
You know you want pancakes!
I just got back from a 30-minute run and I feel like I’m gonna faint! I need to eat soon. I’m gonna have 6 oz turkey and a large salad with vinegar.
I DO want some pancakes right now! But I have to wait until Saturday morning for my carbup. I’m actually planning on going to IHOP. I had a bacon cheeseburger deluxe last night for a cheat meal.
I don’t count calories. I just have 240 grams of protein from lean meats, egg whites, low-fat cottage cheese, and protein powder, fibrous veggies, and a tablespoon of flaxseed oil per day. That’s it!

Thats hitting below the belt…
I am SOOO relieved right now. I just went to the diner and had three huge pancakes with syrup, ham, a glass of pineapple juice, and three cups of coffee with a shitload of sugar!

I gotta go to IHOP! Great way to start a day, laughing.
I don’t count calories either…I’m in denial about how low they actually are…
TBH, I don’t even count protein…but I find it’s kinda hard to overeat chicken anyway…
I was wondering if i can get some clarity on this Lyle Mcdonalds diet. Okay so i calculated my LBM i am 210lbs with 168LBM and using calculations in the book im supposed to have 210grams of protien per day which is about 42 grams of protein for 5 meals but im confused on how much calories im supposed to have? is it just 210 x 4 = 840 calories?
Don’t worry about calories…just get your protein in 
Don’t worry about calories…just get your protein in

You also need to add fibrous vegetables to the diet (at will) and 15 grams of flaxseed oil or 6 to 10 grams of fish oil to the diet. You don’t need to count calories. Just use VERY lean or low-fat products. And yes, the diet is extremely low in calories. My diet is about 1,300 calories.

Truth is, after seeing those pancakes in your posts I made some to eat. Delicious they were, I tell you. I’m not on any real type of diet though.

I made some of those bodybuilder pancakes with the oatmeal and egg whites and it just wasn’t the same.
I do like this diet though because now if I crave something I know it’s a craving and not just a habit or a whim, so I have some of whatever.
OG- are you eating RFL style, but just having a little bit of what you crave every once in awhile?
I decided to scrap the Friday refeeds, cause I JUST. CAN’T. handle that many carbs at once, even by keeping it at the lower range…My tummy hurts and I’m bloated for a couple days after…I’d rather have a few free meals during the week.
Thoughts on that?
So I have a few questions that hopefully will get answered . I will be doing the diet as a category 1, I am to consume 224-300 g protein this puts me at 900-1200 calories a day. My question is regarding veggies. The book states that they are free and should be eaten liberally however should I still count the calories in my daily total? It seems like no, but some people have said yes.
Say I eat 600 calories of brocolli are they added to the 1200 from protein which would bring me to 1800 calories or are the truly free foods? Also to my understaning carbs and fat shoul be kept to a minimum but, is there a daily limit to each? This is my first real diet so I would like to do this right.
That would be TWENTY-FOUR servings of broccoli per day! Are you going to do that? Even if you did, most of it is from fiber that doesn’t affect blood sugar or contribute to your caloric total.
Fibrous veggies are considered free foods by fitness trainers and dietitians/nutritionists. Starchy veggies (potatoes, corn, peas, beets, carrots) aren’t considered free.
What is the point of paying so much attention to calories on this diet other than to just KNOW them? The aim of this diet is to take in protein from the LEANEST sources, 6 grams of fish oil or 15 grams of flaxseed oil, limitless veggies, and that’s it! The calorie issue takes care of itself.
- Set protein intake depending on fatness and activity level.
- Limitless veggies.
- EFAs.
- Set cheat meals and refeeds depending on fatness and activity level.
That’s the diet!
