Tried the link. Just get "The File You Are Looking For Is Inaccessible."

If you're not losing weight, you're probably eating too much, or rather enough to maintain your current weight i.e. you caloric intake is approximately equal to your weight maintenance requirements. Try cutting back on your daily caloric intake. Reduce your daily intake by about 200 cals each week until the weight starts coming off at about 1lb per week. At a rate of 1lb per week you'll be sparing your muscle mass and sould be losing close to 100% fat (as long as you maintain your heavy resistance training). Alternativly, you can try something like a targeted ketogenic diet or a cyclic ketogenic diet.

hi, thanks for the info u can look at my pics through hotmail. the email is champion_118@hotmail.com and password is 0408664616. Its the email named "body"

I really need a time eating scheduele (excuse speeling) from when i wake up to when i go to bed. I dont eat bad food i think i just eat the wrong thing at the wrong time. Please help. Thanks

I'm on a cut at the moment so I can tell you how I'm currently eating:

Breakfast (8am-ish): 35g oatmeal, half a big banana, 100g cottage cheese, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, 300ml skimmed milk, coffee w/sugar + milk.

Post workout (12pm-ish): Protein shake w/ about 30g protein and 60g Dextrose/Maltodextrose (not that there's much difference between the two. Maltodextrose is supposedly "complex" but the GI is about the same), 5g creatine + 10g glutamine.

Lunch (1pm-ish, always within atleast 1.5 hrs of training): 2 slices of multigrain bread, 300g cottage cheese.

Late afternoon (4pm-ish): 1 can of tuna, 1 can of mackeral, sunflower seeds, light mayo.

Post 2nd workout (If I decide to train again. This will usually be cardio and only if I didn't do any in the morning and its a cardio day (dont worry, my training routine is a bit strange but it works for me) ) (7pm-ish): Something liquid with some carbs in it.

Dinner (7pm-ish, or within 1hr of my 2nd workout if I've trained): Large chicken breast/fish w/ lots of vegetables.

About 1hr before bed (10pm-ish): 200g cottage cheese w/ tuna, sunflower seeds + flax seeds.

Other supps:
Multi vit.
2000-3000mg time released vitamin C over 3 doses.
2000-2500mg Glucosamine sulphate over 3 doses.
ZMA before bed.

Also a couple more cups of coffee here and there.
Maybe a hand full of nuts if I'm hungry.
Bran muffin if I'm feeling "carb depleated".


Started my cut less than 2 months ago starting at just over 11% bf. Have now dropped to about 10%. Aiming to get to about 7-8% before the end of the summer.


What you eat will depend on your personal BMR and how you react to different foods.

Thanks for the help you have been great http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif
Are sunflower seeds nice to eat, and do you just get them from your local supermarket? I live in Australia so the brands are a bit different.

Yeah. I like sunflower seeds. They're high in essential fatty acids, as are flax seeds. You should ba able to get them in your local supermarket or health store.

ok cool thanks. Listen man thanks for all your help it has been so useful to me and this time im confident that I will stick to this diet and it will work. Thanks again http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif
