Diet, Nutrition and SupplementationPost here for supplement reviews or nutritional advice. If you're trying to get "ripped abz" THIS is where you should be.
Omg, i cant believe this S**t i been doing well for the past 8 months lost 37 kilos, i am not to sure about that in pounds (i am from australia)... dropped from 144 to 107.. now i am idling at about 108 - 109 kilos. i think i need to change my ways of eating but i am not to sure which ways to go.. please share any ideas. any good articles that are too long to post please send to my email mscriva@bigpond.net.au any information at all will be greatly appreciated.
yes i have tried HIIT i am currently doing that on the, i think its the oliptical machine. not sure what its called.. but for weight loss wouldent it be better to change the diet more then the exercise program??
Aye, that's a LOT of weight that you lost in a pretty short amount of time. I don't know how long you've been plateu'd but give it a couple months and see if it works itself out. Sometimes your body just chills out for a while...don't force it.
If it's already been a while, what does your diet and excersise plan look like?
no i havent tried the adams diet. my diet is basically the clean eating diet, with some adjustments that i made to it to suit me. i work 14 hours a day but i try to have the 5 meals it is just very hard to get everything set up.
to tell you the truth i dont know where to find the adams diet, that part confuses me i dont know where to look.
The top (or 2nd top) sticky on this forum is by AdamCambell and is called something like "Additional Explication for Adams diet". A few posts down in the thread someone copied the actual diet. I've you've been following clean eating it shouldnt be hard. It might also be a time to look at your workouts/etc, probably thus far a lot of the loss has come from eating habits. Why not post what you've been doing exercise wise, and a typical days diet so we can work from there.
4am coffee
5am start work
10am 6 Weetbix honey milk
1pm gym 10 min cardio on X-Trainer 40 min weights session
3pm rye bread with tuna, avocado and lettuce
6pm get home from work
7pm some form of pasta (italian family) with chick peas or some type of peans
that is a 6 day ritual Monday - Saturday.
i also have walnuts open next to me have them on the go.
That only shows 3 of your 5 meals. When do you go to bed? It looks like you *might* be on the low side for protein and your very last meal of the day (from what is shown) is likely pretty calorie heavy.
Towards the end of the day lighter is deffinatly better. Getting enough protein means that your body can repair and build muscle...allowing you to burn as many calories as possible doing the things that you do every day.
I think you don't eat enough... 4 meals isn't enough. I'll give an idea how to be creative if you wanne eat when working or attending school:
When I go to school I always make a shake to drink there, I also take a can of tuna with me ... We have a sandwich bar next to our school but the cool part is that you can ask everything they put on it so for instance i always ask a large whole weat baguette with lettuce, carrots, cumcumbers, olive oil and 200g grilled chicken breast !
just to give you a few ideas tho, also look for the healthy recepts here, Johnka has some very good...
also try to get some protein before you hit the bed :
cottage cheese or (what we have here is skinny cheese) I love it more than cottage cheese and it also has 11g prot per 100g and <1 g fat [img]smile.gif[/img]
also if you wake up drink a whey shake, whey is absorbed fast by the body and is just what you need to get your body out of the catabolic state it's in...
the pasta meal is fine, I eat it a lot too (my dad loves italy and I even speak a bit of italian)
which pasta do you eat most? tagliatelli? the green one is very healthy ! made out of spinach
try to eat proteins at least 30g with every meal
I don't know your breakfast but if it's astandard cereal i'd switch to something like oatmeal ..
also drink enough water during the day bout 2l min.
Personally I leave for work at 7 am. So Iget up at 5, shower, make breakfast (usually eggs, canadian bacon and coffee) and prepare all my meals for the day. If you really want to do it you'll have to find the time.
