AG30 Posts: 106 Joined: 2004/01/21	2007/02/07, 12:39 PM thanks guys...I was trying to find out some meals to eat to hit the target calories, carbs, protein needed in this diet. I will try fitday.com website ka...thanks. i am also trying to find out what to eat to get all the protein and calories I need on the low carb days for this diet without getting to much fat involved. on the higher carb days its a little easier because I will be eating a little higher fat stuff...its just the low carb days that I am trying to get an idea on.
AG30 Posts: 106 Joined: 2004/01/21	2007/02/07, 12:41 PM oh..also guys....should I use the grocery list for healthy eating as a base for this diet? or is this diet going to consist of stricter foods?
	2007/02/07, 12:52 PM For me it is chicken, chicken and more chicken, check out the diet thread here and another good site is whfoods.com -------------- Courage is resistance to fear; mastery of fear - not absence of fear. Mark Twain

ATIGER Posts: 992 Joined: 2003/02/26	2007/02/07, 03:35 PM i also go with steamed veggies - good stuff with very low carbs for the low carb days - sweet potatoes would be good for the high carb days. As for healthy recipes, I go to allrecipes.com. All the recipes are ranked by people that have tried them. I find some that are highly ranked and see if i can make the recipe lower fat, calories, etc. The different recipes have really widened my selection of meals

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2007/02/07, 09:02 PM Get your protein in on most days, especially so low carb days. Have fats to balance out your macros. (EFA's..Omega 3's are best). As you lose fat, some research shows that w3's are the first fats to go, so the need is even greater than normal for them. On high carb days, lower your protein intake. Remember, carbs are protein sparing, and keeping protein the same amount is impossible to do without exceeding calorie needs. No fat on those days. Get your carbs from good sources, sweet potatoes, oatmeal, etc. Stay away from processed carbs as much as possible. Most of the reason for this they are normally more calorie dense simply by being processed. So it is much easier to exceed needs than with complex non processed variety. -------------- "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying."

AG30 Posts: 106 Joined: 2004/01/21	2007/02/08, 12:22 AM I am kind of confused on that part since the post about this diet didnt really discuss target fat grams. but I am about at 30 - 40 grams on without being on this diet. I don't really know what I should be at for this particular diet.
SFGiantsMVP Posts: 1,533 Joined: 2005/12/04	2007/02/08, 12:50 AM Then you need to go to the thread about the diet and read it because it's spelled out for you plain and clear. :) -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!
KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2007/02/08, 08:23 AM I just read it...it says to keep fats low to none on high carb days...I didnt catch that either...so sometimes we miss the things that are right in front of us.. just because you put a smiley on it MVP doesnt make it NOT a jacka$$ comment...to bad we cant ALL be as smart as YOU...:) -------------- "But more than anything, more than anything, My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold" My Wish Rascall Flats I sing this song to my kids...but I realized..it works for yall too....
AG30 Posts: 106 Joined: 2004/01/21	2007/02/08, 11:49 AM haha...your funny KC! no...I did not miss that in the post. it does not say ANYTHING other than keep fats low to none on high carb days and a little higher on Low carb days. There are no figures or taget grams. Which little to no fat on higher carb days is pretty clear.....low carb days a little higher isn't so clear. I guess around 30 gr of fat on lower carb days isn't to bad?
bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2007/02/08, 08:31 PM Use enough fats to make up the amount of calories you need on low carb days. -------------- "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying."
AG30 Posts: 106 Joined: 2004/01/21	2007/02/08, 09:45 PM gotcha bb1 thanks! I have one more question for you regarding this diet. is 99 gr of carbs on a low carb day too much?? it seems like a lot. and 297 gr of carbs on higher carb days seems like kind of a lot too. in a post above I listed my calculations using my weight according to your original post for this diet. do those numbers sound about right?? I just want to make sure I understand this diet fully so I can get started on it. thanks bb1.
bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2007/02/09, 08:53 PM Nope, not at all. You must understand that this is in its most basic form a means of caloric restriction. Using carbs for this matter works fine. Hopefully what it will do is spare lean muscle, for before any 'damage' can be done from lack of glucose, you are re-introducing carbs and your body will sort of 'supercompensate'. Carbs are not evil, follow the plan. -------------- "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying."

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2007/02/10, 04:27 PM Another nice thing about dieting this way....I find personally that I do not lose as much or at least as fast strength, which to the male ego is very detrimental as I am sure you are aware. This is especially so if I set up my high carb days on heavy workout days for the most part. -------------- "If it ain't broke, you aren't trying."
AG30 Posts: 106 Joined: 2004/01/21	2007/02/11, 12:41 PM thanks bb1, that makes a lot of sense. I am currently doing the ft workout weightloss and definition plan. I am at the beginner level for now since I have not lifted weights in a few years. I am hoping that this diet will complement this workout pretty nicely.
FilthyPL3B Posts: 262 Joined: 2006/04/04	2007/02/11, 01:07 PM ag30, we are pretty much the same in the calculations department. Day 1 & 2: Carbohydrate = .5 * 198.4 = 99.2 Protein = 1.5 * 198.4 = 298. Total Calories = 10 * 198.4 = 1984. Fats = 38g Day 3: Carbohydrate = 1.5 * 198.4 = 297.6. Protein = 1.5* 198.4 = 298. Total Calories = 16 * 198.4 = 3174.4 Fats = 25-30g But what do you use to make up the carbs on a high carb day, as I have run some numbers against food carb contents and I just cant make that number. BB1 thanks for this, starting Monday I'm gonna try this eating plan. If someone could poss recommend a high carb days worth of eating to reach that number it would be appreciated (or point me in the right direction) as I'm off by around 100g.
AG30 Posts: 106 Joined: 2004/01/21	2007/02/11, 01:47 PM yes filthypl3b, it looks like our numbers are very close. I really don't know how to get so much carbs on those high carb days. I have only been doing this diet for about 5 days and I can't reach the numbers either. I just have been trying to reach them the best I can. I am usually short on all days for carbs, protein and calories.
	2007/02/11, 08:57 PM WHAT DIET IS THIS THAT BB1FIT POSTED? WHERE IS IT ? I am looking to try the anabolic diet, or anabolic solution, but i want to take a look at bb1's diet because i am not too sure if the anabolic solution is a great diet because it makes you eat a crap load of fats and medium protein and low carbs?
AG30 Posts: 106 Joined: 2004/01/21	2007/02/11, 10:26 PM J2048B, this diet is under this forum as a stickie. its titled "dieting made simple" I believe. it has a red thumbtack by it and I believe that its the first thumbtack in the forum.
