[boston basher]

Im a fat bastard and Im sick of eating plain grilled chicken and eggwhite ommeletes already, I have some serious weight to lose som Im really watching my carbs. But what dressings/sauce do you guys use/suggest that wont screw up my diet?

[H Bomb]

if your not having carbs then you can have fat. you don't want to eliminate both. so its either protein and carbs or protein and fat.

i use mustard alot and sometimes ketchup. if you are going no carbs then you can go with some olive oil and balsamic too

The premise of the diet is high protein (about 1- 1 1/2 gram per pound), moderate fat (about 1/2 g per lb) and low low carbs (no direct sources of carbs). During this diet, the brain goes into ketosis (it uses ketone bodies for energy-- fats) and thus the energy requirements by the body can almost all be supplied by fats (which you'll be taking in plenty of). The only activity that uses carbs will be the weight workout which may use 40grams per workout. You will get these 40g indirectly through the foods you'll be eating. As a backup, the cheat meal you'll be having once per week will provide a storehouse of glycogen (glucose) in case of emergency. So, you see, very little gluconeogenesis in the liver will be occurring. If we keep cortisol low (by
restricting STIMULANTS) we'll ensure that muscle is spared!

HAVE YOUR CHEAT MEAL ON THE SAME DAY EVERY WEEK, last meal of the
day so you dont cheat again.

Fiber helps burn fat! Everyone should take fiber 2x per day. Fiber actually helps increase the absorption of calcium.
When following my diet plan (which includes getting your brain into ketosis), there can be NO starchy carbs eaten!



For a 200lb man:

MEAL #1
5 whole eggs (make sure to buy OMEGA-3 EGGS from the supermarket. They contain virtually NO saturated fat and tons of good OMEGA-3 fats); add another 4 egg whites to this (they don?t need to be the Omega-3 ones; you can use liquid egg whites)

MEAL #2
SHAKE: 50g Whey Protein with 1 ? tablespoon of All Natural Peanut butter (no sugar)

MEAL #3
"Lean Protein Meal": 8oz chicken with 1/2-cup cashew nuts (almonds, or walnuts)

MEAL #4
SHAKE: 50g Whey Protein with 1 ? tablespoons of All Natural Peanut butter (no sugar added)

MEAL #5
"Fatty Protein Meal": 8oz Salmon, Swordfish, or RED MEAT with a green salad (no tomatoes, carrots, or red peppers) with 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil or Macadamia nut oil and vinegar

MEAL #6
SHAKE: 50g Whey with 1 ? tablespoon all natural peanut butter or 4 whole (Omega-3) eggs and 4 extra whites

For a 250lb+ man:
Meal 1 6 whole Omega-3 eggs
Meal 2 8oz chicken with 1/2 cup raw almonds
Meal 3 50g whey with 2 tablespoons all natural peanutbutter
Meal 4 8oz salmon with 1 cup asparagus with 1 tablespoon macadamia nut oil
Meal 5 50 g whey with 2 tablespoon PB
Meal 6 6 whole eggs

Remember, it takes 3-4 days to get into a strong ketosis where your brain is using ketone bodies (fats), instead of carbs, for energy. Be patient.

that is a very similar diet i did a few years ago and got very very good results, i have crap genetics and got down to 8%bf and around 210lb

also only carbs i used for the day was after a weight workout, on cardio days i didn't use any. for carbs after workout i used dextrose and then same amount in my next meal.

as stated the cheat meal is very important for this to work 100%

also some natural fat burners i used was, green tea extract, cla, cartinine, 5 htp, and zma

This is all a good read. Boston, this book helped me out a lot. The eat clean diet book by Tosca Reno. It is available on amazon.com check it out, I feel it was a must read for me. I use a lot of spices, pepper,molly butter, hot sauce, garlic, olive oil in place of higher fat or calorie toppings. In her book she has listings of topping and spices to add to your meals.

From what I understand for your cheat meal, you can eat pretty much anything you want and allot of it.

I gained 5 lbs. on my last cheat meal. So I have to be carefull, cheat meal with in reason for me.

I am on the TKD diet above. It's easy for me cause I am a carnivore to the core.

this diet is mainly run from 16 weeks out for contest prep. Also if you drop the diet and jump back into a lot of carbs your going to have a rebound effect. Try to time your carbs around your workouts first and cut them off after 6 or 7 pm....

If you do the Palumbo diet you can eat whatever you want as the cheat. Last week I had Biscuits with country gravy and sausage with a side of cake.... Before that was pizza and wings. This week will be AYCE Sushi.

As far as wht to put on your food. I keep No cal katsup, mustard, Chalula Hot sauce, A-1 sauce. Marinades I use are dry and you need to add oil and water. I use EVOO so no carbs there in the marinades. Also if your making ground beef they have salt free bullion cubes.
