You could start by reading mr. x's diet articles. They are "stickys" on the top of the diet forum.

Look on this site there is a lot of very good diet: www.testosterone.net and do a search with the search button with words like: diet,etc...There is a lot of very good diet :anabolic diet ,delta,t-dawg,etc...

Basically if you want to keep maximum muscle,eat every 3 hours, eat basically always lean meat,veggies or protein shakes with flax seed oil...

Good luck!

this might go down as the worst diet in history! read some of the post around the board about diet's, most of them are pretty good. instead of having your water at meal time, drink it through out the day. also 1 gal. of water is not that much for a person your weight. you should be aiming for at least 1 1/2 to 2 gal. a day.

Hey guys, Thank you so much for all the input! It means a lot to me that you guys care enough to give me some good advice, and to help me from making mistakes.

I have been searching through some of the threads, and diets. The only confusion I have now are the vast amount of different types of diets. I read an article about this diet, then another about that diet, etc..etc.. Are there any main things I should look for in regards to losing as much weight as possible and keeping as much muscle throughout the weightloss process?

I'll do anything, and stick to a tight schedule to get the results. Today I did 45 Minutes of cardio, keeping my heartrate up to 165 BPM the entire time. Was exhausted, but afterwards I did some toning weight lifting. I know I probably should have done 15 min of warm up, and then the weights, and then hit the cardio, right?

Thanks again, I can't wait to get a diet together. Right now I've just cut out sweets, eaten less, and been drinking more water. Not sure where else to go from there. So confusing it is.

It looks like you are on the right track. You are right about cutting out the sweets and drinking more water but you are a little confused about eating less. The simple fact is, the less cals you consume, the slower your metabolism becomes. The simple way to solve this is eat every 2-3 hours. Every meal should include a good protein source, such as chicken, lean beef, eggs, whey, etc. Aim for around 35-40 grams of protein per meal. Also something else you need to include in your diet is healthy fats. THEY DO NOT MAKE YOU FAT! They have actually been shown to help you loose fat while saving muscle. Good sources of healthy fats are, natural peanut butter, notice I said natural, olive oil, olives, nuts, etc. Try getting a good size portion of complex carbs in the morning mixed with some simple carbs to give you a nice kick for the day. Have some simple carbs before you hit the gym, and then after you leave. A fat burner such as Xenadrine would also be good to take. You should be getting in about 6-7 meals a day. Do cardio 4-5 days a week, 35 min a time. You will loose weight by not eating, but I guarentee you will not like the results. If you follow the guidelines I set for you, you will improve dramaticlly. You might even gain some muscle!

Thanks bro for the help. I'm taking notes on all this. Just curious, could you give me some examples on what has complex carbs (some foods) and what foods are simple carbs? Thanks again! I guess I will rewrite my schedule to include twice as much water, more meals, and a detailed meal plan. Do you know of anywhere on the net that has a list of foods that you SHOULD eat and foods you SHOULD avoid in regards to the diet you listed? Thanks again!

This is the kind of carbs you need to eat during the day, but dont take too much cause you will get fatter(complex carbs):

Brown rice, wheat bread, oatmeal(and not the kind with flavor and sugar but the regular one), chick peas, etc...

This is simple carbs source example(take this kind only after your workout and in the morning if you want:

All fruit, fruit juice, sugar(dextrose, fructose, sucrose,etc.), white flour, white rice, white noodles, etc...
