Alright guys so kinda long here but I’d appreciate you reading everything and giving some advice lol
I got some great input from a lot of you in my “Sugar thread” and I THOUGHT I was going to be able to take a chill approach to my goal so I could eat a little more freely etc and since my sugar habit wasn’t that bad, I leaned more to that route than what some guys were saying to just buckle down, hammer it out and get to my goal then just maintain and enjoy myself on occasion from there...
So a couple things happened since last week that changed my mind about my approach;
1) I saw Danieltx (I think that’s his handle name lol) post pics on his rebound and dude looks fucking awesome up 30+lbs and still lean/hard as a rock on that rebound which was my original plan to go with a super strict diet then slowly grow with a rebound...
2) I went to the beach on Sunday.. And I had TheOtherOne55’s post in my head the whole time “The feeling of looking the way I want out lasts the 5 minutes of mouth pleasure for that cake.” And boy did I feel that shit on Sunday.. I live in MIA and it’s beach weather all year, haven’t gone myself in like a year but went because 2 girl friends of mind invited me (and they’re pretty hot too) and it’s not that the beach is filled with a bunch of 6 pack having fitness models, because it’s not, the completely opposite actually.. You’ll see more hot girls than guys on any given day but not many people who stand out... And that was the problem for me.. I just looked like everybody else, like a guy who works out but eats cake too.. Lol
Sooooo, with that in mind and the knowledge I have about myself I just want to know how much fat some of you high carb dieters eat a day. I’m mainly concerned with heart health and hormone balance etc and I know fats are needed for that...
Reason I choose the higher carb and low fat approach is that I’ve tried low/no carb and it just makes me want to binge and deviate but when I have carb/protein (no fat) only meals, I feel pretty good and can deal perfectly until my next meal.. I just have to be strict on myself with the bullshit carbs too but I’ll deal with that, I’ll have TheOtherOne in the back of my mind lol (thanks bro)..
Main Carb Sources;
Sweet Potato
Jasmine Rice
Bananas
That’s what I mainly eat anyway but I’m open to other suggestions? I eat beans and other fruits too but don’t want to add thins unnecessarily.. So I’ll wait for more suggestions on the carb sources.
Main Protein sources;
Ground Elk
Grass fed beef (15/85)
Cod/Mahi Mahi
Whole Eggs
Egg white protein shakes
Chicken
Main Fat Sources;
Trace amounts from Meat and Eggs etc
Olive oil for any salads or for cooking (small amounts, 1 tbsp)
Avocados if I can have them
Again, open to suggestions in this area as I don’t know what’s ideal for health/function...
My current macros:
250g Protein
250-300g Carbs
100g Fats
And I maintain on that, so I figure if I cut 50-80g of fat out of the diet, I can create a decent calorie deficit and maybe I won’t get the results of PSMF in 3 weeks but it’ll keep me sane and not deviating and still reach my goal in maybe 8 weeks instead of killing myself in 3...
All suggestions are welcome and I may even start a log when I do this to help keep myself accountable lol... Thanks guys
