wha part of NYC?

 

[diamonddiceclay]

you have too many carbs in there-cut out the rice and add some fish

 

[CrystalChick]

Diamond

LOL Arrrrugh...... k feel better ummmm where would you suggest removing the carbs from? I mean from what meals?

Pleaseeeee

Thanks CC

 

[diamonddiceclay]

if you eat oatmeal early in the day-that is good-just skip the rice and eat chicken,fish,turkey-6 total meals a day at least and only eat romaine lettuce to get fiber-it has no carbs

 

[rez]

im sure this has been discussed before..but to calculate carbs..do you subtract the amount of fibre from amount of total carbs?

 

[diamonddiceclay]

carbs are carbs-don't worry about fiber-if the label says a certain # of total carbs, that is the # to deal with

 

[gymtime]

I disagree. With all that cardio you're doing, I don't think that rice is too much at all. I'm on almost the exact same diet you posted and have seen great results.

 

[buff600]

ahh, fiber does cancel out active carbs on a gram per gram
basis. carbs bind to the fiber and move through the digestive
tract without getting absorbed by the stomach lining. therefore,
rendering them inactive.....met-rx has a pruduct named Glycemet
based on this fact along with others.

Looks pretty solid to me, although I think more fat would be a good idea. I think the carbs are already plenty low, unless you want to do a carb-restricted diet, e.g. CKD, TKD, etc. Personally, I think a Zone/Isocaloric ratio, or something very close, is best. Maybe could use a bit more variety in the meats(Fish is always good, especially salmon for EFAs. Grilled chicken breasts makes me gag, though I do still end up downing a couple a day) Good to see some vegetables. I don't think a moderate amount of fruit is bad either, but again that's personal preference. Whether you will lose weight is primarily dependent on how much of a calorie deficit you're running with this diet. That in turn depends on your current weight and metabolism. If you haven't already, figure out what how many calories you need to eat to maintain your weight and make sure your calories on the diet are 300-500 less. Good luck.

Your Diet is Excellent. Your carb levels are fine, for your goals.
Good job Crystal.

Peace.

p.s. Stick to it and don't bitch out like a lil bitch or i'll start calling you a lil bitch, i'll pm you every night, subject line: "Bitch" ,, message: "Bitch".

Strange

But it seems that you need to define your goals a bit. You say that you are trying to loose 10-15 pounds? Of what, muscle, fat? If you train hard and eat clean you will loose fat but often your weigh will increase as muscle is heavier than fat itself. Why don't you get a body fat measurement and take it from there? Also, I have seen good results (loose fat and gain muscle) with a 4 days on 3 days off rutine. Weigh lifting burns more caliries than any other excersice...... Do not want to sound like a jerk here, but I believe that defining your goals will set you on the right path....

Interesting....

 

[rez]

fegs..

what do you mean by 4 days on 3 days off routine?

 

[fegs]

I mean....

Workout 4 days and rest 3. To me, the rutine described at the beginning seems like a lot, if I do something like that I will overtrain. I rather have quality, not quantity of workout. It is proven that a person can incorporate cardio to their weigh lifting activities without having to increase the amount of days they excersice. Example:

1.Mon: Morning cardio (on empty stomach. If you do not have excess carbs, your body will burn more fat). Afternoon:Legs (make that 4 excercises of 3 sets with 8-12 reps each). This is 1 of 2 mayor muscle groups.

2. Tue: Morning cardio, afternoon Back and biceps (these are "pulling" excersices and they will work your biceps)

Wed: OFF

3. Thur: Morning Cardio, afternoon Shoulders Triceps (these are pushing excersices and will work out your triceps)

4. Frid: Chest (2 of 2 mayor muscle group)
Off until following monday.

Remember that this is 70% diet and 30% gym. You can workout as hard as you want but if your diet is not right, your gains will be min.You can change the days as you see fit, but I found that a day off in between gives me a chance to rest and re-group. Keep your eating habits going through the week end, eat every 3 hours for a 6 small meals total in a day. You can replace every other meal with a protein shake. Eat lots of green vegetables (fiber), intake your carbs early in the morning and end the day with a protein only drink (meal 6).

If you do this right, you will see results in a month or so.....

Thanks for the imput.... LOL Lil Bitch
I am going by scale I want to loose like 10-15 pds fat It's really hard though......

[cure]

Rice is fine at the time your eating it at. You need that to fuel your workout anyway. i wouldn't worry about it.

 

[fegs]

Scale

Persnoally I never go by the scale. Remember that muscle is heavier than fat. I go by the mirror and by how my clothes fit. Get a body fat caliper, they are inexpernsive and you can track your results better...
