Adams diet, results...

[RRJ]

How you guys doing? Since others seem to be having success stories using Adams diet, I thought I'd share mine as well. Here are the foods I typically eat:

Meat/eggs - 93% lean beef, Chicken breast, whole eggs and egg whites.

Veggies - Mixed veggies (carrots,corn,peas,green beans), tomatoes, onions, lettuce.

Carbs - 1 or 2 servings of whole wheat bread, oats/oatmeal.

Fats - Fish oil, 1 serving of walnuts/almonds, olive oil (cooking). Fats from eggs, meats, cheese (usually 2 servings a day).

Pre/post workout shake - 1 serving of Surge.

Supps - Whey protein (upon awakening), low-carb GROW! (before bed), Fiber choice (30 min. before carb meal), multivitamin, and 2.5 grams of creatine post workout.

I also allow myself a planned cheat day, on saturdays. I'll pig out the whole day on pizza, burgers, cakes/cookies, soda...the works lol.

My average macronutrient stats breakdown as follows, (averaging workout and non-workout days):

Cals - 2,000
Fat - 75g
Sat - 20g
Poly - 16g
Mono - 11g
Carbs - 150g
Fiber - 21g
Protein - 180g

As far as my training goes, I'm performing Chad Waterbury's "Next Big Three" program, and performing 15 min. high intesity jump-roping sessions on 3 off days.

My specs before starting Adams diet and Chad's programs are as follows:

Height - 5'8 (Doubt that will change at 21, but oh well)
Weight - 151 lbs
Body Fat% - 14.25%

Now my specs after the first week :

Weight - 150
Body Fat% - 13.5%

I'll be checking up on my 2 weeks specs this Mon. So what do you guys think?

That's a massive BF drop in just one week. How did you do the calculation? Also your Saturated fat should be lower. It should definetly not be higher then Poly or Mono, those are the only good ones.

I calculate my BF% with calipers(sp?). Yea, I thought the same thing about my BF% drop, I even went back and checked my self out Three more times, and actually went over the formula about five times lol. I also noticed that my sat. fat was a little higher than my mono and poly fats. Four grams of sat. fat are from fish oil however, and Fitday doesn't calculate my mono and poly fats for my beef patties, for example, one beef patty contains 8 grams of fat, 2 of those are sat, so im pretty sure the rest add up to more mono and poly fats. Plus, I cook my food with olive oil, so that should be adding up at the end of the day even though I dont see it in my food log, so im not too worred about my sat. fat numbers, they aren't overwhelming the other fats.

Specs after 2nd week on CV diet:

Weight - 149
Body Fat% - 13.3

Not so much of a drop in BF% as last week, but im making steady gains none the less. Had me a cheat day on sat. as well, goodtimes.
