So I my aim is to lose some fat, up the weights and successfully do sets of dips and pullups!

It's not going to be easy! But MP's help will get me there!

Hi Bokers, just replying to your message in my thread. I'm following a low-carb diet as I think it is good for maintaining bodyweight and makes it easier to lose fat when I reduce my calories because my body has become accustomed to burning fat. The carb ups are good for re-storing glycogen in the muscles and help around heavy workouts for the dead lift. They also allow you to eat differnet things for a change.

Thanks for the reply!

I just need to get the right number of calories for me to carry on progressing in the gym and lose fat. Then I'll break it down 50% Protein 30% Fat 20% Carbs?

Well I wouldn't eat 50% protein because you want your body to burn fat, not protein. What ever you feed your body its going to burn so make fat the primary fuel if you want to try a diet that can be really effective. The first time I tried it I had to give up after 6 weeks because I felt rubbish. I added oats and more fruit. As time passed I gradually cut out the oats and reduced the fruit and have had lots of success with a low-carb diet since. It takes time but has been worth it for my body composition.

Look for the anabolic solution (also called the metabolic diet and anabolic diet) and Atkins. They work great for fatloss and despite what a lot of misinformed people say, the Atkins isn't all about protein. It's about reducing your carbs to almost zero during an induction phase, losing a lot fat, and then slowly building your carbs back up to a level where you find the optimal ammount for you with getting fat again.

There's a lot of threads on this forum that might be worth looking through, as fat loss is a popular subject.

Ok cool thank you for the info. Have you got a couple of topics that are worth while?

[Bokers]

Ok so todays diet so far consists of...



Still to come, some home made chicken curry and rice and either a small pack of chicken or casein shake later in the evening.
