Adam's Diet is based on some very sound principles, and I know by tweaking it, its no longer the same diet, but i want to employ the same principles (regarding insulin)in a way i can eat daily.
Im 5'10 , 150 lbs, and 18% bf...
Im between trying a clean bulking phase (my past bulk was definately not clean... i used to be 140 lbs 16%bf...) So possibly try a clean bulk...or more appealingly, after checking these boards, a moderation of Adam's Diet...
Eating Clean my day is like this:
Breakfast - 1/2 c oatmeal , 1 c fat free milk, 1 scoop whey, 1tbsp udo's blend oil...
lunch- WW bread sandwhich (turkey, fat free slice cheese, lettuce, tomato) and an Apple
snack - Almonds
Pre/during WO - 1 scoop whey, 25g carbs from twin lab ultra fuel...
PWO- 1 scoop whey, 40g carbs from gaterade powder
Dinner usually vegetables and meat, just got WW pastas :-\, so sometimes those too...
1/2c CC and 1tbsp natty PB before bed...
Questions:
1 & 2 )Where I am now, will the more strictly I follow Adam's diet help me, or would i be better suited going in another direction first (adding more muscle)..I feel like the diet might hinder muscle gains? with such a short supply of carbs for recovery and what not? But that would explain the loss in fat...
3) Ive got my one serving of milk, 1 of ww, 1 fruit (same meal) ...problem is the oatmeal in my breakfast.... but does the udos oil (fats) help negate the insulin effect of the oatmeal and milk?
4) If replaced with egg whites, some udos oil and veggies (dont know how often i can do that) what effects does it have on not getting in carbs upon waking after 'fasting' all night?
5)I understand the Pre/during work out shake,but taking the post 1 hour after is very different from me taking imediately after as i do. So i take it that the shake kinda replaced the traditional PWO meal...that way i dont need the whole wheats in my meal after wards?
6) Any tweaking that could be recommened to adjust what i am eating now to fit Adam's guidelines better...
If i take out the bread from lunch and throw in nuts.... it'd be weird just opening up some turkey in a plastic wrap at the lunch table...
7) Eating all that cheese of any type....doesnt that accumlate a lot of saturated fats? Low Fat cheese would just means carbs, so assume you mean full fat cheese...
8)I remember reading the post about those who are around my weight and 11-12% bf wanting to try this, and reading that itd be difficult at that % and weight ...but im wondering since im a higher BF%, would it work out for me, or should i eat how i am and lift, putting on musle mass first....
