What a Clean Diet Does....A Progress Report!

D

Daisy_Girl

Plat Hero
Platinum
Can't believe I am posting these pics, but things B Fold said to me motivated me to do so. :) This is just a reminder of what a clean diet and smart training can do for a body. My diet was all clean foods, no drugs, and I trained my ass off (quite literally!).

I'm posting this (and killing my pride!) so nobody - new or old - underestimates the effect of a GOOD DIET. Diet is #1 in changing your body and reaching your goals. No ifs, ands or buts. Don't make excuses, just do it. Now.

Here are pics of me taken April/May of 2003 (6 months ago). I had just taken about 6 months off eating well. I was working out, but minimally and not very hard. My diet consisted mostly of, well, of crap. I am normally "in shape", but due to life's stresses, I "boycotted" being healthy for awhile and paid the price. I gained over 30 lbs (up to 166lbs from 135) and was 30% BF (up from 21%).

Now, these were taken about a week ago. I am over 30lbs lighter and approx 15% BF. I lost over 10 inches around my hips, almost 10 inches around my waist, around 3 inches off my thighs. If you need more pictures, I have a gazillion in my gallery.

I still am a "work in progress" in that I have a lot of goals left to reach. Currently re-evaluating my training and diet to prepare for an NPC Figure Comp in Spring 2004. :)

Wow!!! Thats inspirational. It is great to see that you ladies with nice bodies started out where us beginners are. It confirms my suspicion that it is possible. Thanks very much...Ang
 
I should have asked in my 1st response what kind of clean diet you ate? Was it high in protein low in carbs like Spatt's cutting diet? Thanks...Ang
 
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw all the pics you had posted in the pics area but had no idea. You did all that in 6 months????? My god woman! You are quite beautiful & an inspiration! Thank you for posting these.
 
What I had been doing was AM cardio 5x per week and lifting 3x a week. This got the excess fat off, and I maintained my muscle mass but built no extra muscle. I actually lost the 30lbs in 4 months, but in the last 2 months have focused on building muscle. So now I am changing my workouts and what I am eating now has changed a little.

This is basically what I ate for 4 months straight, with one cheat day a week.

Meal 1: (post cardio)
1/2 - 3/4 cup Cream of Wheat with cinnamon and splenda
1 whole egg, 5 egg whites

Meal 2:
Protein Shake

Meal 3:
4oz Chicken
3-5oz Red Potato
Almonds

Meal 4: (usually post lifting)
Protein Shake

Meal 5:
4oz Chicken
Green Beans or Salad (no limit)

Meal 6: (before bed)
Protein Shake
Natty PB
 
Thanks. Maybe when I don't look like a chunk.........or a sausage , depending on the day, I'll post some before and afters....Ang
 
Fantasic post Daisy.

This post will be a great inspiration to the many people too shy to post up and those who may have temporarily lost their way..

Congradulations on your effort and progress and may you enjoy the rewards sweets.

:)


Simply brilliant.
 
Diasy, thanks for posting these pics! I bet a lot of women come here for the first time and think the Elite ladies have all been fitness model/body builder shape their entire lives.

Terrific job and congrats on your accomplishment.
 
REALLY proud of you!!! REALLY proud.

I doubt that any person can ever look you in the eye again and tell you that they CAN'T do it...

B True
 
What a great job! We have kind of the same story with the same weight loss, but i give you a lot of credit for posting the before pics. That is always hard to do! Congrats!!! Keep building!
 
How about posting those sexy fatty pics over on the members board so that some of the guys can see them too?

Too bad people forget about the power of food.
 
Damn Daisy!
You have given me inspiration! We are in the process of building a house and selling the old one and I am so out of focus! I have gained 10 lbs and am just so mad at myself! I have had an 'I don't care, I love food' attitude lately. House will be done right before xmas I must get back into my clean routine. Seeing your progress gives me hope:)
Thanks & great work!!!
 
Actually, it should be easier to post the chubby pics now that you are leaner.
Daisy, you look fantastic. As has been said, great inspiration to those trying to reach their goals.
Question for you though: (And not to belittle your accomplishments.)

How was your training and diet before the excess 30 pounds? Were you in as good shape as you are now?
Just curious, as I am a believer in muscle memory, and that it's easier to bulk up, trim down, lean out (Whatever) if you've done it before, rather than doing it for the first time.
How old are you?

Keep up the fantastic work!
 
One more thread telling me diet is the key...

<<Nonerz bangs head on computer screen>>

Time to start logging the food again...before all the Christmas treats start to trickle in the office!:rolleyes:
 
you look awesome Daisy!

all your hard work and will power certainly paid off! there's no doubt that you can accomplish anything you set your mind too.

:)

I am 30 years old, a graduate student with 2 jobs.

I have been "in shape" most my adult life, but my BF is lower now than it ever has been. I am in much better shape now than i was 10 years ago. I think this is due to increased knowledge about training and nutrition.

I am making gains now that I never thought I would be able to make - with a good diet I am finding that meeting my goals is MUCH eassier than it was before.
 
way to go daisy!!! what an inspiration to all...i admire you for having the balls to post the before pics, i know it's hard...you look fabulous!
 
Inspired. Inspired. Inspired.
I have got to go workout now! I just really needed to see this today.
Way to go!!!
 
Daisy-- props to you :)

you really look amazing-- thats a huge transformation in only 6 months-- WOW!!

your diet looks really low in cals- do you have the carb/fat/pro breakdown??? thanks :)
 
I don't have the breakdown of anything. Through lots of "experimentation" with my body, I have figured out what works well with it. My diet may be low in cals for many, but for whatever reason it works for me - for the goals I had. I was strictly trying to lose fat, was not concerned about maintaining or gaining muscle. I naturally hold onto muscle easily, so I actually did not lose much muscle at all (about 2 lbs) even on a restricted diet.

And this was my "base" diet - I added/subtracted on a daily basis. Some days I was more active and needed more food so I ate an extra meal. The extra meal would be either lean meat and veggie or egg whites with a low carb tortilla.

I just listened to my body. :)
 
nothing like being called hot by a bunch of girls...seriously! Us girls are always so hard on each other so it is nicer to be called hot by girls sometimes. :)

Thanks for everyone's support and nice words...it means a lot. :)
 
LOL Daisy Girl. After I met Spatts I told everyone that she is hot. Maybe because of our interests, we're more impressed by and aware of the hard work that goes into achieving "hotness."
 
My weight training was minimal - 2-3 times a week, hitting each body part 1x a week. Weight training was hard, but not overly intense. My focus was on cardio and diet. Diet being the #1 thing. But like I already said, I naturally hold onto muscle pretty well, even in a calorie deficit.

Diet was the factor here. Notice I was NOT taking any drugs to do this either - no Clen, no Cytomel, no anabolics. You don't need drugs to lose weight/fat. You need a good diet.
 
Thanks Daisy for your post you accomplished pretty much exactly what I want to in the same time frame I am hoping to. You ROCK!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING THE PICS!
I see that it is possible.

On your cheat day did you have anything you wanted?
 
Daisy, like I said before, you are one hot tamale lady! :D

And good for you that you've posted the 'before' pics, those are so inspirational because often when we see very in-shape or fit people, we think they always were that way. Lucky genetics. You show that ANY of us can do it if we put our minds to it. Thank you!

Oh yeah - it was a free-for-all food fest at my house. :) I honestly tried to keep it to a minimum, but sometimes I don't know moderation. :)

I am going to start scaling back on my cheat days, I will make smarter choices and try to only splurge on the food I am actually craving, not eat everything in sight. lol.

Sunday's are cheat days for me and I don't workout that day either. I sometimes took an easy 30 min walk, but that is it.

I don't recommend the free-for-all approach, in hindsight I think it was a bit much. :)
 
Only supplements I took during this was Hydroxycut, protein powder and Glucorell-R on cheat days.
 
Last edited:
What is Glucorell-R? and How did it help on the cheat days? I also like the idea of one cheat day but yeh it is best to eat only what your craving not everything in site. Never the less your gains were still amazing I was looking at more of your profile pics girl your smokin!:bikinimom
 
Glucorell-R is sold at the AF store (www.anabolicfitness.com). It is r-ALA - I don't have the technical knowledge, but it basically helps push the carbs into your muscles for sue ther, instead of stored as fat. Or something like that. :) Helps metabolize carbs to be used by the muscles. There should be a ton of threads on it....for more detailed info.

I love the stuff. After my cheat days I would be like 4-6lbs heavier the next morning and totally carb-bloated, but when I started taking Glucorell-R I was only 1-2lbs heavier the next morning and less carb-bloated. :)

Thank you for the compliments too... :)
 
Thermorexin is a fat burner and appetite suppressant. It is also from the AF Store. You find SO many posts on it here too. :)
 
I know you do cardio first thing in the morning but how much did you do?

How long?

And what kind of cardio? Running outside, classes, stair master ??
 
I was doing 45 minutes 6x per week in the morning. I did the Precor elliptical, the treadmill (walking or running), or the StepMill. Sometimes I spent the entire 45 minutes on one machine, sometimes I did all 3, it just depended on the morning.

I always tend to do more cardio than many, I actually enjoy it. But, remember, I was NOT concerned with losing muscle. This much cardio can be catabolic, which can bring your metabolism down because of lost muscle mass. Since I know my body quite well, I know that I hold onto muscle pretty easily, therefore, I knew I wouldn't lose too much muscle.

I am changingmy program now to less cardio, more HIIT and more weights. I want to focus on building some muscle now! :)
 
Wow, that is a lot of cardio...for the "average" person.

I know a lot of ladies look at your before and after pics and want to do EXACTLY what you did to get the same exact results. It's grat that you point out that you know your body very well and do what works for you. Not everyone will have the same results with the same program.

Bottom line, your diet was the main factor that caused your dramatic change in BF loss. You go girl!
 
That is exactly the point I keep saying - that diet is what brought about the changes in my body.

I've been dieting and working out for many many years, and it was only after I seriously cleaned up my diet that I got results I wanted.

I don't think anyone should walk away from this thread and do exactly what I did in the gym. But, you should walk away from this and re-evaluate what you put in your mouth. :) lol
 
Hi Daisy! Agree with you on the diet thing....when I eat clean I really see the difference. I made my lunch for tomorrow & have 3 meals with only 794 calories so far. I may need to add food.....

Oh by the way, your undies are soooo cute! Love the blue boy shorts.
 
Hey Daisy,
In your diet you had listed almonds but not an amount. I was just wondering how much it was that you ate? Also saw that you put Natural PB in your shake how much like a tablespoon? My shake that I am taking has a really sweet taste to it I think PB may take the edge off it.
 
Almonds - usually between 15-30 unsalted almonds throughout the day

PB - 1-2 tbsp, can depend on what I ate the rest of the day. Usually was 1 tbsp though. :)
 
Sounds good. I was thinking of putting like a tablespoon of chopped almonds in my no fat yougurt as one of my snacks. Yeah I think a table spoon of the peanutbutter in my shake would take the edge of the sweet tase it has.

Does sound pretty yummy... but one thing (not that you asked, so this is unsolicited, sorry) I would recommend is watching the sugar content of yogurt. It might not have fat, but the sugar content is usually kinda on the high side. JMHO. :)
 
Your advise is more than welcome. I went to the fridge to check out the content of my yogurt 57 calories 4.5 g protien 9g carbs. Sounds alright to me but what do you think?
 
Not bad - I've never seen yogurt with that few carbs. But then again, I usually look for the yogurt with the fruit in it. :) lol

It seems quite minimal, with only 9carbs and 57cals. Especially if you enjoy it and it can help keep you sane and not binge on candy or something. :)
 
Yeah this has just a drop of fruit in it maybe one berry a serving. It is ok as a snack I think the chopped almonds will make it a little more filling. It is Astro fat free not sure if they have that brand in the US. I like the fruit bottom stuff better but that is more as a treat.
 
I eat yogurt in spurts. Not craving them right now, but when I am I like to add sliced almonds to it too. Pretty filling.
 
Do you guys ever buy just the plain yogurt? I have stopped getting flavored stuff because of the High Fructose Corn Syrup. GOSH, that's in everything!! Anyways, just wondering if you just eat it plain or if you have any ideas for adding stuff to the plain flavor. I was thinking maybe Splenda??

Thanks :)
 
I buy just plain and add Splenda. I know a lot of people stay away from fruit, but I will occasionally add in some lower GI fruit to the yogurt.
 
Has anyone tried that new flavored syrup made with splenda? Comes in all kinds of flavors, usually by the coffee stuff in the store. It rocks, I put the vanilla flav in my diet rite and in my oatmeal. May be good with a dab in yogurt too.
 
Daisy,

You know I think you look TOTALLY HOT by my posts on your pics thread;).

When you lost this weight, how did you determine your caloric intake? Did you do 12 x body your body weight at the time you started?....Did that number have to be adjusted as you lost fat?

Thanks!
Buc
 
I honestly didn't do any calculations - at all. Sorry I can't give insight or guidance on that. It's just that through many years of trying to find a "good diet" and seeing what foods work and what don't, researching "clean diets", and using information on cleans foods (mostly gathered here) I came up with a workable diet FOR ME. I tried to keep it simple, didn't use a lot of foods, and kept my foods clean and as natural as I could.

As I lost fat, I started dropping my starchy carbs and ate more veggies. So naturally, my caloric intake fell. Instead of a small whole potato, I ate 1/2 one, then 1/3. Then I switched to Yams, then to green veggies. The only starchy carb I had was my Cream of Wheat in the morning.

Let me know if you have any other Qs or if I can give any more insight into how I worked my diet. :)

And thanks for the nice words - you know how much I appreciate them! :)

Skim milk with shake or water? What brand off shakes did you take? On your salad was it plain or did you add a little olive oil with vinger? I am assuming the chicken you ate was all boneless and skinless. Also I hate potatoes think I could switch them up with another small serving of carbs? I am seriously thinking of giving this diet a go it seems boring but your results were amazing and with one cheat day a week I think I will live. Are they an condomints like salsa or ketchup you would use. Or just eat it all plain?
Thanks in advance,

Shakes made with water ONLY.

I used NitroTech shakes (MuscleTech).

Salads - usually Balsalmic Vinegar, but sometimes used a small tbsp of Light Italian or Light Honey Mustard. You could definately use vinegar and olive oil.

Yes,chicken was boneless and skinless. I seasoned it with a salt-based spice (Season All). I DID NOT limit salt intake - it causes some water retention, but that goes away with a day or so of salt restriction. Plus, I drank so much water it made no difference. Salt makes boring food taste MUCH better! Sometimes I used a tbsp of BBQ sauce and dipped my chicken in there.

You could swap the potatoes for rice (brown).

As for boring, it is! :) BUT, adjust it for your sanity. I found that sometimes using a tbsp of BBQ sauce, or a little salad dressing made a huge difference in taste, with no difference in results. Also, you can add some condiments to help you through it - there is no reason you can't use salsa, FF sour cream, FF cheese, some veggies, etc if that is what you need. Eatig those things are MUCH better than stopping for fast food becasue you can't stomach another plain chicken breast. Just remember it all has calories so make sure you factor that into your daily totals. A diet is only good if you can follow it.

Also, if you get sick of chicken - which I am at this point. I can't eat chicken right now! :) lol Try turkey breast cutlets or lean beef (eye of round is good). Eye of Round, with a little BBQ sauce and a big green salad is my staple right now! :) Yum!
 
I am just curious...you indicate here that you eat clean and do not take anything, yet I have seen you on another board talking about gear .....how is it that you are clean ??

During this "transformation" I took nothing illegal. I never said here or anywhere else, that I have NEVER taken anything. But during the period of time I lost the weight, from May-September 2003, I took nothing. It was all diet.

Actually, to be honest, I didn't take anything from September 2002-September 2003.
 
so the pics state those were you in early November, did you take stuff prior to the 6 months you slimmed down with just diet and exercise. I guess it is not clear to me since in early October your other post said you were on already for 3.5 weeks ?? Are the after pics before you started your cycle and not in early November, if so how has the gear changed your physique since then. Sorry for the questions I am just trying to research differences in var etc. make to the physique.
 
Damnit. I jus tposted this whole long psot and I timed myself out and lost it. I hate that. I'll try to recreate it...

I stated in an earlier post that I lost the weight in 4 months, which I did. In 4 months, I lost just over 30 lbs and went from approx 30%BF to approx 16%BF. I "started" my weight loss the first week of May and "stopped" the first week of September. During my "transformation" I was not concerned with muscle, it was all fat loss. That was when I shifted my goals. After getting down to a reasonable weight, I wanted to work on gaining muscle, with no regard to actual weight.

The picture of me in pink was taken about 3 weeks into the cycle. There were no real noticeable changes in my physique yet, only in my strength gains. Physique changes came about week 4 or so.

It is 100% the truth when I say my weight loss was all natural and all diet. Diet is responsible for the change to my body.

In hindsight, I would have done it differently though. I would have NOT focused to much on cardio and lifted more. So regardless of drugs or not, it is still all diet. Unfortunately, lol.

So, to answer an underlying Q, Anavar can bring about amazing changes to a body, but only when a clean diet and smart training are in place already.

thanks for clearing that up...aside from the diet and training what do you think the var or other stuff helped you to acehive with your physique that you could not have otherwise ...or is it that it helps get you there a little faster. Also, if taking var I understand that it helps harden you up, speeds up recovery etc., but if you only do 1-2 cycles are the benefits permanent, or do they deplete after a certain time frame. I understand that it will help with strength which in turn allows a person to maybe lift a little heavier and build muscle, but does the muscle hardness sustain, or does it decline after you have been off the cycle for awhile.

I can understand the need for substances if a person is competing, but for those who are not but want the look...is this a good choice or is it something that must be continual to reap the benefits.
 
Daisy,
Thanks again for all the advice. I got it now keep it simple basic clean add a little flavour now and then so you don't go nuts.
I love the fact that you did your transformation all natural. I had been thinking about a cycle of Var but I would rather try it the natural way cause I see it is possible.
By the way I keep trying to send you Karma for all the good advice but they keep telling me to spread it around.
 
I like asparagus because it is a natural diuretic...although your pee will really smell!

I like corn if I'm not having any other carbs (probably not the best choice for cutting).

Green beans are great...hardly any calories and lots of bulk.

Ceebs inspired, I tried eating insane amounts of broccoli, which I really love, but it made me bloat reeeeeealy bad...not to mention the gas!

Spinach is great in (egg white) omeletes (add onion, mushroom, feta cheese, salsa).

Var basically helped me get results a little faster. I have not gone outside my "natural potential" it's just that Var helps make it a little easier - ASSUMING diet and training are in place. Like I said before, I have done a cycle of Var with a so-so dietand got minimal results. Yes, I got results, but nothing I couldn't have done without the Var.

I have kept all the muscle I gained with Var. I didn't keep the muscle hardness or vascularity, but that might be because my diet wasn't as strict when I went off. I do know I kept MOST of the strength I gained. My weights went up DRAMATICALLY the first time I took Var. They have remained high, even off Var. This does allow me to lift heavier which will help retain muscle.

Honestly, I love Var. I think it is great. I've tried 4 different kinds. :) But I love it because of what it helps me do and also because I get no sides on it. Others might hate it because they gets sides. If you have no intention on competing, but want to maximize yourself, I honestly don't see anything wrong with taking Var - of course, assuming you do the proper research and due diligence to ensure you are getting good stuff.

What I personally think is silly is people taking crazy amounts of harsher substances with no intent on competing OR without doing TONS of research. :) But everyone is different and everyone has their own "comfort level" with what they are okay taking.

Umm that egg white omelete sounds good but could I really have feta? I red and green pepper ok for this kind of diet?
Tried to send you more Karma but they wont let me got to spread it around.
 
A little feta is going to go a loooonng way. it's yummy in a salad too. I would lean more towards fats from avacados than from feta, personally, but that is me. :)

Good Veggies - (Nonerz listed most of them) asparagus, brocolli, green beans, peppers, celery, cucumbers, artichokes, lettuces. I don't limit my amounts of green veggies. They are so few calories and so fiber dense usually. Especially beans and brocolli.

Use things like corn in moderation - corn is a little sugary for a veggie. So are tomatoes, but I love them :).
 
Wow, just finished reading all the posts here, tons of great info from all!

DaisyGirl... awesome transformation :) your hard work and deadication shows through, as it has been said you are an inspiration :D

I am looking for a suitable diet... I was going to do the natty PB diet, and I tried it...for one day, that's all it took me to realize eating nothing but PB for 12 weeks (even for 2 weeks) would make me insane. I want to keep the muscle that I have of course but lose the fat...I got lots of ideas from these posts! thanks all :)
 
Hello, been reading all the posts, was wondering what kind of protein posder you used or was it a MRP? You look Great, I was did a NPC figure show 2 years ago and got down to 14% BF. I'm back up to prob. 21% and want to start training again for a show in May, this time a natural show. I used Whey protein, was curious to see what you used. I have a hard time finding one that doesn't make me bloated.

Wow!! How have I missed this?? That's AWESOME daisy!! Completely awesome. I think it's great that you shared too because there's not a magic pill or a quick fix-- but you're a poster-child for what hard work and dedication to diet and training can do! Congrats!
 
Awesome post! This should be a great motivation for anyone trying to get their eating habits together.

And just think....you may have saved a lot of people TONS of cash by showing you don't need supplements to lose weight!

I DID use some supplements - just not AAS. It would have been very possible not to use any Protein, it's just that my schedule makes that impossible. I had to rely on a Protein supplement for a couple meals a day.

That's what is funny - while my genetics could be worse, they aren't great. I am naturally "solid" and muscular, especially in my lower body, I have always been more "athletic-looking" (before I went on my 8 months bulking spree last year, lol). But that also means I naturally carry around more fat. It is HARD for me to lean down. My genetics want me to hold fat - especially abdominal/hip fat. My diet has to be AWESOME to get results. So if I workout like a fiend, but am slack on my diet I will retain fat.

I am not worried about maintaining the weight loss, this is my lifestyle, as it has been for years. I simply fell off the wagon for a time being. :)

I don't remeber posting this?

What the hell was I on that night..lol
 
WOW. :shocked:

I just read the whole 5 pages of your thread DaisyGirl, and all I can say is WOW! and THANKYOU. You're truly an inspiration.

Everyone (with avatars!) on this board has the 'perfect fitness model body- I know you all work hard for your physique, but its somehow easier on the novice's mind to believe that you girls have a genetic advantage. Like the bodies of catwalk models. Girls who're (usually) born with the advantage - so the average woman in the world believes there's no point in exercising, eating well etc. consistantly bcos they're never going to attain that beauty, that physique. They're simply genetically 'impaired'.

But the more I read this forum's posts the more I love what you girls do. Because you EARN your physiques like an achievement. Life didnt just give birth to you with muscles! :) You girls work for it. And now I cant wait til I've earned the right to be proud of my physique (when i've done my 'transformation'!)- & if it ends up looking anything like yours, i wont have to be 'coy' about my body being 'hot'! :)

Thankyou Daisy_Girl for allowing us the inspiration of your pics xo goddess.:rose:
ps. ta raina for bumping the thread for us newbies :D
