Fat Loss Dieting ? Cardio Weights

GeorgeMildred Posts: 1 Joined: 2001/07/25	2001/08/06, 12:46 PM i need some help !! I am doing about 30-40 mins of cardio 3 times a week and have just started doing some weights twice a week. I also want to get my diet right and i am very confused. All the supplements, eating the right amount of carbs before 7pm - its all daunting stuff. Do you guys know where i can find recipies that will help me keep to 160g of protien, 400g Carbs and 30g of fat per day? I am curerently 158lb, 5'10 and have a 30" waist. I just need to loose a bit of flab - I have already lost 14lb but that was due to the Cardio and a lot of luck. I have plateaued I think and need a bit more help.

The best advice for hitting your protein/carb/fat ratio is protein supplementation. Most forms of whey protein have very few carbs and almost no fat. I mix them with a slimfast or fat-free milk. This slimfast adds a little taste and also some extra protein, carbs and fat. Often, different lifting magazines have some pretty good ideas for foods. I stick with grilled chicken, turkey/chicken sandwich meets, egg whites, etc. The basics. This can get boring eating the same thing over and over. However, the results are well worth it.

Make about 4-5 cups of oats and add 150g of protein and munch on it all day. You can try different flavors of protein to give your oats some varity. ~billk~

I never thought about it thanks! I like W8's idea as well because I have a very hard time with the carb. thing.

All I do is cook my oats (4-5 Cups) normaly and add protein (5-6 scoops) and stir it up real well. After it is done I put it in a bowl and take alone to work and munch on it all day. Using chocolate protein makes your oats taste like coco wheats (MMMMgoood). Give it a try I'm sure you wont be disappointed. ~billk~
