    Default GO TIME. Dieting TIPS HOOOOOO!

    Ok, I'm pooling for just random ideas.

    I'm down to 161 - 165lbs with a 9% Body fat.

    I am not even going to say what I am eating, but I am HUNGRY. ALL. THE. TIME.

    Ok, so my goal is to get my abs to be more defined. I have really good definition everywhere else. My back is getting more like the pic in that thread from a year ago!! I swear it! haha.

    Anyways, I've been to my doctor and I will be seeing a diet trainer soon, I feel great but I just want to get that extra definition in the chest.

    So... munchie wise, like crackers and stuff, what would you nutrician experts suggest?

    I'm eating a lot of celery and a ton of water... Is there suggestions? I was informed popcorn low sodium is a good idea.

    Anyways all suggestions appreciated. I've done my research now I am looking for good ideas.

    "The pleasure of a dream is that it's a fantasy. If it happens,


    it was never a dream."

    Oh, my workout regiment:

    Monday - Weight Training - 1.5 hrs
    Tuesday - Weight Training - 1.5 hrs
    Wednesday - All Out Cardio - 1 hour
    Thursday - Weight Training - 1.5 hrs
    Friday - Off
    Saturday - Weight Training - 1.5 hrs
    Sunday - Cardio - 2-3 hours. (Jogging)

    On weight training days, I finish the weight training with short all out cardio and ab supersets. I rotate the WT days with different parts of my body. So obviously I am hungry.

    Hope this helps. Thanks a lot.

    Celery is good to keep you occupied, but it has no nutritional value. It takes more calories to burn it than there are in the celery, so it actually creates a deficit. If you're hungry, then you're not eating enough, and you will eventually put on weight; your body will go into starvation mode and start storing everything as fat. Eat more.

    Diets are a bad idea and almost always lead to weight gain in the long term. Don't diet, just eat healthy. Base your diet around mostly vegetables, then meat, then fruit, then cheese, then bread. Avoid excess sugar and flour, and you'll be fine. And most of all, when you're hungry, EAT SOMETHING!

    Good call, but your knowledge here should also tell you that eating the wrong things at this crucial point in my path could cause undesired results. I'm looking for fast food that supports the highest level of metabolism but still allows for fat loss without eating my lean muscle mass. I don't eat nothing but celery, but to keep from krimping the creative process, I wanted to see what some suggestions are. When I say Diet, I mean my intake as opposed to what it was when I was obese and sweated in 10 ft sprints. I just know that at this point going for the finale means upping your protein intake.

    But don't worry Yekhefah, any shape or size, I'd still unleash the unholy sexual horrors your thoughts hold upon your filthy body. And I'll even respect you in the morning. Hahaha.

    Oh, yuck, celery.
    You'd be best off eating a lot of protein-rich food & exercising......You are straining your body by putting nothing in it & then mashing on the gasoline pedal, so to speak. If you were a car you would have stalled by now.
    Once you bulk up, your body will divert the energy it used to use for fat storing, to maintaining muscle mass. It took 2 YEARS for me to lose my "guns" biceps from 7 months of pole dancing almost every night. (It was NOT a voluntary change, I got sick.)
    All of the weightlifters I have met COMPLAIN about how much they have to eat to keep big & bulky. Some even smoke the ganj to up the appetite.

    Seriously though, Maxine is right. You're starving yourself and causing more problems. Cheese makes a better snack than celery, especially with your exercise regimen. The trainer at my gym told me the other day that you need dairy fat to repair and build muscle when weight training. Peanut butter is also good - try putting a hefty dollop on your celery.

    Instead of eating less, just eat better. Olive oil instead of butter, garlic instead of salt, skim or 1% milk instead of whole, etc. You'd be surprised what a difference that can make.

    popcorn is low in fat, but i've never found it to be very satisfying when i am actually hungry. stick some peanut butter *the natural kind* on the celery, or have an apple with pb. that way you're getting protein too. whole wheat crackers with low fat cheese and turkey are good too. half a cheese sandwich, half a pb sandwich, anything with some protein and carbs will curb your munchies and help you build more muscle.


    damn, now if only i could follow my own advice

    Nuts are supposed to be a good snack to help curb the appetite; almonds are said to be particularly healthful as nuts go. I've also found that a serving of oatmeal tends to fill me up for a while.

    A diet high in protein is good for building muscle. A couple of peanut butter crackers would be a good snack. Also, fruit isn't bad to keep things moving along in your stomach.

    A great snack type thing for you that will for sure fill you up - Healthy Choice Chicken Noodle or Chicken and Rice soup. Only 110 calories, so, you aren't gorging, but the warmth and the liquid fill you up well, and there is a surprisingly decent amount of "actual food" in it for only having 110 cals. I fasted for two weeks on water and this stuff and I lost 26 pounds - and I was having six or seven bowls a day.

    Peanut Butter should be your best friend.

    Also, precook a bunch of chicken breasts, chop them up, and put them in the fridge. From there you can put them into a "quesedilla" with low fat cheese and salsa, or chuck some of it onto a salad with some almonds....ENDLESS possibilities my friend.

    So maybe chicken should be your best friend...I don't know.

    You are weight training too hard, too many days in a row. Personally, I believe that you should NOT weight train 2 days in a row...alternate those days with cardio. Weight training too many days in a row will cause your body to decrease muscle repair/rebuilding. Even if you work upper body on Monday and lower body on Tuesday, you are still taxing your body to not enable it to properly regenerate new muscle growth. Cardio on the following day will enable muscle growth as it increases blood flow and oxygen to the regenerating muscle tissue. You may want to consider Weight training on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Doing Cardio on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays (or whatever alternating days work best for your schedule).

    Also, not "changing" up your cardio routine at all will make your body become immune to the workout. There is no reason that you should be jogging for 2-3 hours a day (any day) unless you just really love to jog. If you are doing it for cardio burning, know that after about 45 minutes of that, you are not burning fat. The most effective cardio training (for health and for fat burning) is HIIT. You do not need a machine to do a HIIT routine.

    As for eating...you need to eat more. The only way to get rid of what you don't want in your body is to put more into it. Eat celery with natural PB (not the Jiff, or Peter Pan which is LOADED with Trans Fats and that goes straight into storage). Apples with PB is also good. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water (at LEAST 1/2 your weight in oz. So you should be drinking about 80 oz a day...give or take...your body will tell you when you have enough). Do NOT eat Healthy Choice soups, Lean Cuisines, etc. They are loaded with preservatives and salt/sodium. If you have one day a week to spend cooking, cook up large batches of stuff you like and freeze/refridgerate them. Just as easy to make as the other stuff, but much more healthy. I lost weight faster and more effectively doing this than on the "frozen food section". Start eating WHOLE WHEAT bread (and not WHEAT bread...big difference). Pull out all of the refined products that you can and replace with unrefined/organic stuff.

    And, drink protein drinks. At least 2 a day. Every day. Especially after a long weight workout.

    HTH.

    This is assumption. I mentioned celery, BUT ONLY IN PLACE OF WHERE I WOULD BINGE ON JUNK. I always suppliment my intake with celery. I eat very healthily mainting a 3000 cal min on weight training days 2200 on cardio. I'm just looking for what others eat for health/snackies

    Yes, I said "snackies". Deal with it.

    I agree, my intake has increased phenominally within the last month. My Doctor ASSURES me I am ok tho. I ALWAYS down protein shakes, but I'm killing 2-3 a day plus builder bars not to mention normally 3 squares (if I remember breakfast)

    Again.. you're focusing too much on Celery. I'd slap you, but that would be called "Forplay".

    I eat sooooo much cheese. But I think your trainer is focusing on the Whey Protein? Eitherway, I really look for low-sodium cheese, but it's hard to find. What's worse is I normally combine it with crackers...

    I'm not looking to eat less! I am looking to eat better. Hmmm olive oil instead of butter. Dig it, but I can't think of current use of butter. Garlic you say? Exactly how much pineapple juice do I have to drink to offset the potential sex-life ramifications?

    Now...tell me about these mystical peanut butter crackers? Or is it just Peanut Butter on Crackers? I love that so I can do that, but Peanut Butter Crackers would be like the Philosopher's Stone of Health Products.

    Mrs Goddess,
    I appreciate the concern, and I've been told this a lot. However I think I will keep it up for now. I would be doing it anyways. As you know about my friend, I've lost another recently and one in the hospital. I really look forward to my time in the gym. Not to mention the maelstrom of other retarded dysfunctional anal leakage of issues going on in my life I care to forget in any given day. It's not as bad as I making it sound. But this is great for me. And I see my doctor regularly about it.

    I know your commanding presence, and I acknowledge that when I say, I normally run at least 5 miles a day.... please don't hurt me ...that's after the wind sprints *cringe*

    Bingo. I love running. Lets me think and weed through all the sensless drama. It's weird, normally I imagine I'm some superhero or some junk and I'm behind enemy lines and....you know this really doesn't the support the whole me liking girls thing...

    HIIT is what I call ALL-OUT cardio.

    Wow, venus, you're intelligence is only matched by your beauty. And scorpio's avatar is living proof.

    I drink NOTHING but water. To an alarming degree. I also drink Amaretto Sours on very rare occasion cause I like to hear tampadancer emasculate me. But I drink at least 100 FL Oz a day. Or Go for that.

    I like the cooking Idea. I am serious enough to make the time, and have been cooking a lot more lately. But she's vegetarian but we both like cooking mainly cause I think I'm so bad at it, it's comical. Maybe we can find middle ground.

    I shall axe the healthy choice. But I love the SOUTH BEACH Pizza's they can't go anywhere. Perhaps they can.

    I will toss the Jiff today (well, give it to the neighbor kids. They've taken all my old toys so they can have some food!)

    Thank you Mast! I took a few weeks vacation and went to see the fam. Yes, I did mean peanut butter on crackers. And like Mrs. Venus said the natural kind is the best. Apples are good to because they keep things moving right along.

    If you're looking for natural peanut butter, try Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Wild Oats, or even the organic section in your local grocery store. Whole Foods even lets you make your own fresh peanut butter.

    The nice thing about shopping at Whole Foods is that they only carry foods which do not contain transfats. It helps take the guess work out of eating healthy. You can also ask them for help in locating foods which meet your dietary needs. It's not the cheapest store, but the food is healthy and delicious.

    Instead of the protein shakes, why don't you try eating something solid instead? I find those shakes go down so fast, it's like they were never there. Try some hard boiled eggs instead. At least peeling them will keep you busy for a while!

    Also, look in the groery store for peanut butter. Smuckers makes a natural one, and so does Safeway. THey usually announce themselves in big letters, so it is easy to pick them out. If you have a Trader Joes in your area, be sure to check them out. They have an awesome selection of natural products.

    If you shop at Jewel or Dominicks, they have an ailse called "World Market" or some sucj, and that is wher they keep a lot of the natural/organic/healthy products. But you are porbhably better off looking for a local health food store. THey eill have more selection and probablt better prices.

    Happy shopping!

    The reason protein shakes are better for building muscle is because you could not POSSIBLY eat enough protein in regular food to accomodate your needed protein intake. If you are finding that drinking the shake is not satisfying to you (and you shouldn't be full, that's not the point of the shake) then add some nice fruits to it. MMMMMMM.

    Ok, ok, ok, since you all want to know...here are some of my faves:

    Vanilla Protein Powder (I prefer Isopure...you can use what you prefer)
    1 cup of plain yogurt (prefer organic)
    1 peeled orange (you don't HAVE to peel it, LOL)
    1 cup natural orange soda
    8 oz. of water
    3-5 ice cubes

    Blend those babies together for a nice fizzy shake!! Mmmmmm

    Vanilla Protein Powder
    1 cup plain yogurt
    1/2 cup cut/washed strawberries
    1/2 cup washed blueberries
    1/2 cup bananas
    3-5 ice cubes
    8 oz. water

    Blend and enjoy.

    Some good snacks:

    Apples and cheese sticks
    Apples with Peanut Butter (should be the kind where the oil separates)
    2 Hardboiled eggs and 1 orange
    1 cup cottage cheese and 1 cup any fruit

    BTW...if you're going to eat crackers, make sure that they don't have refined products in it. The natural wheat crackers taste better, too!!

    Holy shit,

    Check this out,

    I was doing some work for a restaurant whilst out of town this weekend. In turn for the work, I just took this demon blendor that I could EASILY resell for more than the work.

    This think is the hulking man-god of drink mixors. I swear to god I could make a Redwood Tree and Concrete smoothie with this thing. I can't find where the deisel goes in, but I know it's a 6-cyl.

    It even insults my mother. If only it knew!


    Anyways, Mrs Venusgoddess, I absolutly love your smoothie recipe...however, I am not sure as to the value it has if my goal is to lose body fat. I must research more on this. HOWEVER, I beseech thee, please inform me of other healthy fruits and veggies I can give to this demon that demands sacrifice in the most healthy of ways.

    Oh... also... never operate one of these things with the lid off.... even if it is just water and you THINK you're cleaning it. Lid on please.

    Well, my insane blend-aholic. I used those recipes to lose weight and it was great! But, we're all different...so...

    If you have a juicer, you can juice veggies for a veggie drink. Let me know if you want some combos.

    As for more smoothies...let me go pull out my recipe cards (yes, I keep track of the good concoctions...LOL) and I'll get back to you.

    Oh, yuck, celery.
    I'd lose a lot of weight eating celery like that because I would constantly be PUKING! Yuckamungo! Anyway, I wish I could be 9% body fat. You men have it so much easier I swear. I think mine is like 18% (or last it was checked) and it doesn't want to budge. My trainer has me eating a lot of protien like meats and tells me to eat good fats like nuts and avacados and olive oil. I'm thinking about working with a personal chef too. She will cook a bunch of meals that I can freeze that will last for a while and she'll work with my trainer and fix what I should eat.

    everyone else has thoroughly scolded you, so i'll just answer your question. keep in mind, though, that as a full grown man, your body probably requires nearly 1800 calories a day to maintain its current weight. mine only requires 1432, so i can't eat nearly as much as you can.

    light n' fit brand yogurt (normally i don't care about brands, but this one is the lowest fat/cal) 0g fat 60 cal

    hard boiled egg 5g fat 75 calories

    1 cup brown rice 1 gram fat 230 calories
    (go ahead and add some butter. 1/2 teaspoon of butter has 2g of fat and 18 calories. just don't use more. use the markers on the side of the stick. i also like to add a little salt and pepper.)

    1 cup raw spinach 0g fat 10 cal
    (if cooked from frozen, it has 55 calories, due to food additives)

    whole carrot, raw 0g fat 30 calories

    8 reduced fat nilla wafers, 2g fat 110 calories

    snack sized bag of smart pop kettle corn 2g fat 100 calories

    10 dried apricots 0g fat 155 calories

    1 cup sweetened applesauce 0g fat 195 calories (unsweetened is 105 calories)

    1 plain bagel 2g fat 200 calories
    (add 1 tbsp jelly or jam or such- 0g fat and 55 calories)

    of course, nuts are good for you, and a good protein source, but they tend to be very high fat. nutritionists reccommend that people consume no more than 25% of their daily caloric intake in calories from fat, though 20% would be much better. so a lean cut of meat might be a better choice of protein source most days. still, nuts and seeds are good to eat sparingly.

    1 oz of roasted salted peanuts 14 g fat 165 calories

    1 oz brazil nuts 19 g fat 185 calories

    1 oz dry roasted salted cashews 13g fat 165 calories

    1 oz sunflower seeds 14 g fat 160 calories

    cheeses also tend to be high in fat, unless they are specifically made with low fat or skim milk.

    1 oz cheddar cheese 9g fat 115 calories

    1 cup large curd cottage cheese 10 g fat 235 calories

    1 oz muenster cheese 9g fat 105 calories

    never trust a label that claims the product is healthy. read the nutrition facts, and be sure they aren't defining a serving to be something absurd, such a 1/8 of a teaspoon of cheese.


    to calculate how many calories your body consumes in a day at rest (as in, lying in bed, just to maintain your metabolic functions), use the harris-benedict formula.

    Adult male: 66 + (6.3 x body weight in lbs.) + (12.9 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)

    Adult female: 655 + (4.3 x weight in lbs.) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)

    find the amount for your current weight, and your goal weight. you should start eating the diet to maintain your goal weight and make up the rest with excersise. each pound of fat is 3500 calories. this table

    http://www.nutristrategy.com/activitylist.htm

    shows some examples of how many calories are burned during specific excersises. finding the calories consumed at your current weight helps you to know how much of a calorie deficit you are creating each day.

    to find your ideal daily fat intake, know that each gram of fat has 9 calories. i split the difference with the nutritionists' recommendations and went with 22%. multiply your total daily caloric intake by .22 to find the number of calories from fat you should be consuming. divide this number by 9, and you have the amount of fat in grams. if you take tonalin, these need to be factored into your daily fat intake as well.

    try journaling your food intake, along with the fat and calorie levels for each food. that way you'll know everything you eat during the day, and if you need to step up on the protein or green vegetables, for instance, or watch your fat intake more. it will also help you track your progress mathematically.

    this link shows some good fat and calorie values for some basic foods:

    http://www.caloriecountercharts.com/chart1a.htm

    also, consider buying the book "the fat counter", by annette b. natow and jo-ann heslin. it shows the fat and calorie values for a vast variety of foods, including things like pizza hut, grocery store wheat bread, take out chinese, and farmer's market zuchini.

    remember that fat isn't evil- it's an essential nutrient. if you were to eat a completely fat free diet you would quickly become very ill, as fats are neccessary for most basic metabolic functions. but like any good thing, it just need to be used in moderation.

    Very good information! Thanks! I found a lot of this in prior research after the thread was started but a lot I hadn't answered yet.

    try journaling your food intake, along with the fat and calorie levels for each food. that way you'll know everything you eat during the day, and if you need to step up on the protein or green vegetables, for instance, or watch your fat intake more. it will also help you track your progress mathematically.

    I know fat isn't evil, and I plan to stay health, but it's just a goal ffs. I'm not trying to starve myself, just... I dunno... look my best in a bikini. Is it wrong for a girl to want to look beautiful?!

    AINT NO SHAME IN MY GAME.

    Thanks.

    I think it would be a great investment. Juicing is a great way to get your veggies. It tastes great!!
