My "Summer" Diet - Please Critique

Chipper Jones78 · Jun 18, 2009

Kindly critique - I would like both positive (if any) and negative comment's please.

Please keep in mind I have been doing this diet since May and will continue until Sept or so. So far so good. @ around 10-12% body fat. About a buck 85LBS @ 5"9 or so.

I'm also taking a few additional items as well to keep me hard and and lean.

Pretty simple. Everyday is the same

, I try to switch the meats up everyday to keep sane. I add hot sauce & mustard to everything. I'll post pics up before/after later on.

No dairy, no sugars, no pastas & breads. Carbs are coming from Oats, nuts and vegetables. No sweet fruits, only berries, grapefruit and green apples.

Except Sundays - I have a slice or two of pizza/panzerotti, or bowl of brown pasta with sausage and onions, 12" assorted sub and diet pop - dam, I love Sundays.

Training 4 on 3 off. Train in the morning's 7am.

630am - Breakfast: 4 whites & 1 yolk / 1/3 cup natural oatmeal / Black coffee / ECA

50 gram protein shake after training with (BCAA's / Amino's / Multi V)

10:30am - Half a cup of unsalted nuts.

Lunch 1:00pm - 7oz of Chicken, Beef or White Fish (with half a sweet yam)

3:30pm - 1 Green Apple OR Berries OR Grapefruit

Dinner 6:30pm - 7oz of Chicken, Beef or White Fish (with 5 stalks of Asparagus or 1 Cup of Broccoli)

9:00pm - 50 gram protien shake.

And that's about it. Any suggestion's would be really appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
Chip

Hey Chris - thanks for the reply.

I was in and around 188-190. I am now 185. Lost mostly water the last couple of weeks. Really trying to get dry and hard,

I'm trying to get to 175 - 179.

I'll post some pics before and after.

How about the diet itself?

More carbs before and after training. Should have protein at every meal.

luvingit · Jun 18, 2009

I never understand why people deem cutting simple sugars out of there diet all together as an important factor to get cut border line its almost like ketosis but your oat meals getting broken down into sugars. Why the need for no sugar its not going to hurt you. I'd just diet over a longer period of time i must have a banana/fructose before training or its just not the same for me personally. Why you only having oatmeal as a carb.

Thanks for your input....

Close to a keto diet minus a few carbs. No sugar for spike in insuin + I have been ok without it. As mentioned, I would like to get dry and hard as I can from May - Sept

You need to get up earlier , so your body has time to store the carbs in the liver and muscle. During sleep your body and organs use up most of the carbs you eat at dinner time.

honestly though chip i cant do them zero sugar diets oh my god feel like death cant life for shit. Suppose it depends on da person but dont forget when you do start taking in simple sugars again your body aint going to be all dat happy consuming and using em i done a ketosis diet once for about 3months worked great but when i started eating properly again i put on about a stone a flab lol.
Them diets work best like a month n half two months out with a cycle of winny prim depot t4's n hgh other wise they take ages to work dont work that well say your 10-12% bf so your body's going to fight you so hard not to go under 10ish but figure you dat anyhow sounds like you know what your doing but personally i cant do them good luck.

Hey Emeric - are you suggesting that I get up earlier? I'm up at 6am, eat and start trianing @ by 6:45am?

Is this correct, what would be a better plan?
