I this gonna work

[tan27]

Is this diet gonna help me?

I am trying to slim dowm after my pregnancy and lose the fat. I had my son 8 weeks ago... I gained 47 pounds and I believe I have 21 more to go. I am 5" 9' 182 pounds. My normal weight is 163 (tiny waist and large hips) I work out very hard 4 days a week M/T/TH/F in the evening and do cardio on the same days in the morning for 25 minutes.

5 am 2 boiled eggs

7:30 1/2 cup oatmeal and 2 oz of chicken

9:30 2oz chicken or 3 oz steak and a cup of sliced cucumbers

10:30 Cardio

11:30 Tuna sandwich with 2 pieces of white bread and some snow peas

2:00 3 to 4 oz chicken and cup of broccoli

4:00 Gym

5:00 Protien shake I add to teaspoons of Nesquick because it tastes so bad (200 extra calories)

7:30 fish/chicken/turkey

9:30 - 10:00 1/2 cup cottage cheese

I am taking in around 1700 to 1900 calories a day

That actually sounds pretty good... if you could ditch the quick that'd be great... but hey... it's not that bad...

I dunno go with that... and see what happens...

My girl just started out with training, and I wrote her up a similar diet... it had 1930 cals I think... I'll send her to this link...

Thanks!

I see you've done your research dear. It looks good, but you're missing EFA's (essential fatty acids) that will be the aiding point for overall fat-loss. I would recommend adding (for now) 1tbsp. of flaxseed oil in the morning w/ your eggs. Also, add 10g of fiber (psyllium husk) to your last meal (9:30) to help digestion.

It has taken me several tries to come up with something good that does not involve too many shakes, but has lots of real food...

Thanks for the tip on the flax seed oil. I will add that to my breakfast tomorrow morning. I will also try the shake without nesquick in it...

 

[StRoNg_WoN]

Well try it without, but it ain't THAT bad...

Have fun with it, and let us know how everything goes!

Keep us updated, and let me know how the flax works for you. You can also look into adding MCT but that's later down the road.
Just remember that women overtrain easily and drop into starvation mode, so make sure your calories are sufficient.

Only thing I'd do is move the white bread to after your weight training session instead of after cardio. After weights you're only taking a pro shake, the carbs would do you better after weight training.
