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

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

Pleaseeeee

Thanks CC

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

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

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.

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.
