Thanks. Where's the sticky?

Mr. X, I've been essentially doing the diet you suggested in a previous post. Hi Protein, Low Carb diet....for cutting. Am I to thin - do I need to bulk. I tip my hats to you guys!

I'm eating between 1700 and 2000 cal's 230 g protein/ 57 g carbs/ 26 g fat Carbs are from the oatmeal I eat in the morning and the fat is from olive oil and flax seed oil. Also, drinking like 130 ounces of water. Weighed myself this morning though and I was 138 - I'm normally 143...

How long should one stay on this diet? Also, by when addid the carbs back into a diet is there a concern for fat/wieght gain?

:-) Thanks again. I guess I'm after eating a variety of food over a course of the week...so a high protein will do? On the training side then 4 day split and cardio 5 days - does that sound appropriate?

What kind of diet is this, I mean does it have a particular name? Is it a cutting diet? Sorry lots of questions! Didn’t know Bruce Lee worked out for that long, I’d have thought that working out so much would be detrimental? Thanks again.

Hi....remember me? 5'6/141lbs (today) I want to get cut and build up some but not become big....kinda like Bruce Lee if you know what I mean. Can you recommend what the hell I should be eating. Here was my diet today: GNC Whey Choc. Shake Banana Regular Oatmeal Apple Chicken Breast 8OZ...

Yes, Im male. Well, I'm concerned that if I put on a lot of weight I'll become fat...and I don't want to get back there! I appreciate any info....

Thanks. Why do you recomend not doing a cutting diet? Could you please give me a typical 6 meal plan how much weight will I gain?

Okay, forgive me, as I’m new to this. However, my head is spinning and I think I’m going crazy reading all of these diets. I workout approximately 5 days a week, I’m 5’6 and 143LBS and I want to get cut. I suspect my BF is around 10 –12 percent (will know for sure tonight) regardless, can...

Mr. X, Thanks I'm glad I found this board! I don't necessarily want to bulk up rather I'd like to get really cut a la Bruce Lee. My abs are starting to show and would like to have them fully exposed by summer :-) My waist is around 29/30 inches and my chest (jacket size) is 40/41 inches. I've...

Thanks, I wouldn't mind gaining some extra weight however, my goal is not to be huge just cut :-) I'm not sure if the protein shake has a large volume of caseinate. I was reading a second ago on this board that you can add cottage cheese to the blend?? Today my diet has consisted of: Protein...

I’m new to resistance training and obviously have plenty of questions. Previously I was a competitive cyclist who ate a high carb diet with no weight issues whatsoever. Then I started working and I kept the same diet. Well, I’ve shed the unnecessary poundage and am in excellent shape once...
