[BigGuns29]

Hey all, I got a quick ? I want to loos some bf. currently around 20% want to be considerably lower. getting ready to start cutting cycle next week including cytomel in stack. (will be 4th cycle.) I am trying to figure a decent diet to be on for now on so I will be eating clean before starting cycle. I hear clean your diet up, but can anyone give examples of their diet. I am a bulky 275 now with plenty mass, but want to cut it up. My workouts are good and productive 6 days per week, and I take in moderate amounts of protein, but I really want to get this diet thing squared away. I just need to know amounts and what kinds of foods to eat and what to stay away from. Karma to all who help me out on this!

Check the diet board, there are plenty of sample cutting diets.

Try a low-carb approach with a carb-up day each week. Always works well for me. If I was you I'd hit up Swole Cat.

I posted there last night and bumped it and still no replies. Man it sucks paying for a membership and not really getting any info. I still like the site though. Did I already piss somebody off or something? All I am asking for is some help on elaborating the eat a clean diet phrase. I see all these ripped guys saying what they do as far as their food intake, but never elaborate on the types of foods or when they eat. I know there is some sort of science to it and I am trying to figure it out. I am still learning.

Hey BigGuns29, have done a search on a CKD diet yet? It's tough, and does strip away some muscle, but man, you're already 275! So it wouldn't kill you if you lost a little. I'm no expert but I do see a problem already with your diet. You say you take in moderate amounts of protein. That is a problem right there. You need to take in at least 1 - 1.5 grams protein per lbm of weight. And most importantly, lower those carbs. There is also carb timing as well. For instance: Eat the majority of your carbs early through lunch. Have some for dinner, then don't eat any carbs a few hours before bedtime. It would also help if you picked up some Glucorel-R from the AF store as well. It is a great addition to help you reach your goals. But remember dieting is 90% willpower. Good luck my man.

any meat you can cut off an animal is fine so no hot dogs get it? no starches, stick to complex carbs simple sugars inly after traing and only if its a most. when i am trying to get really ripped i go with no carbs for as many days as i can handle then carb up with 600 grams of carbs for 2 days but this works for me and probably not you sinc eyouare naturally heavier then me which is why you aren't getting many responses every body type is diffrent please excuse my typing as i am on my 6th day of no carbs good luck ps you can eat almsot all green vegetables in mass quantiies if you are hungry while dieitng very low carb

Please post your exact current diet and eating habits. Without them I have no information on your metabolism, dieting styles, weaknesses and calorie consumtion. After that I will put together a detailed program for you.

Lots of tuna, chicken breasts veggies minus dressing and fruit and good ole cottage cheese.

We need to see what you are eating now so we can measure what is working and what isnt. MORE INFO!!

For a quick answer stick to 200g's of carbs and 300 g's of protein with 50-75'gs of fat

Carbs: Brown Rice, Oats, veggies. whole wheat bread.
Protein: Shakes, chicken, beef, fish
Fat: All natural peanut butter, almonds

If i were you i would lay off the cycle and figure out what diet works for you best. This might take a few months as it did for me. Trying to figure out your diet when you are "on" is so hard because bascially everything works. However when you are off you can really learn so much about your body.

Diet first, gear second. Take the time to understand how your body works!

Hey all, I got a quick ? I want to loos some bf. currently around 20% want to be considerably lower. getting ready to start cutting cycle next week including cytomel in stack. (will be 4th cycle.) I am trying to figure a decent diet to be on for now on so I will be eating clean before starting cycle. I hear clean your diet up, but can anyone give examples of their diet. I am a bulky 275 now with plenty mass, but want to cut it up. My workouts are good and productive 6 days per week, and I take in moderate amounts of protein, but I really want to get this diet thing squared away.

>> I like to get technichal when it comes to this . I like to do this way : There is roughly a pound of fat in 3.500 cals . So , to lose 2 lbs of fat you need to " lose " 7000 cals .

How can you do this ? Put your body in caloric deficit .

Let's say for example your BMR ( basal metabolic rate , it means the number of cals your body burns per day just to maintain itself ) is 3000 cals .

So , by eating 3000 cals you will not lose or gain weight . Let' s say for example you lose 1000 cals on the gym every day with weight lifting and cardio .

That will give you a 1000 cals deficit a day , so you would have a 7000 cals deficit a week , giving you a loss of 2 lbs of FAT ONLY PER WEEK , you should not lose muscle assuming you are eating the right amounts of protein

Yeah , all this seems so nice and easy but it is not . It requires a lot of hard work and determination to make it work :

1- You gotta calculate your BMR the right way , you gotta find the best formulas there .

2- You gotta plan your diet so you eat those exactly number of cals each day .

3- you gotta determine how many cals your are burning on the gym .

4- You gotta do this , day after day , and trust me , it is not easy .


But , if you follow it you will lose some serious fat

cook up three chicken breast with the fat trimmed off. Cook a stalk of broccoli and 1 cup of brown rice. put it all in a tupperware container and have it eaten by the end of the day. This is just one way to lean up. Make your last meal just chicken about 2-3 hours before bed. If you just have to have something to satisfy a sight hunger pain, drink a shake with just about a table spoon full of powder (lean shake ofcourse) if it take a little watery, add a teaspoon full of fatfree sugarfree pudding mix.
