DIET

Post by amirus14 »

ABOUT ME

age:22
weight:177
height:5"10
body type: mesomorph

goal: Im trying to lose some weight around hips while I build muscle on upper body (chest, arms, back) Im satisfied with legs.

Workout: currently I started working out again for about 1-2 months now. I go to the gym 3 consecutive days with 1 day rest. I rotate between weights and cardio.
so for example,

day1: intense cardio for fat burn (treadmill for fat burn, 2-3 miles in 20-30 minutes) + 5-10 minutes swimming.
day2: light cardio for fat burn (tredmill 1 mile in 5-10 minutes) + 25-35 minutes weight lifting.
day3: intense cardio for fat burn (treadmill for fat burn, 2-3 miles in 20-30 minutes) + 5-10 minutes swimming.

day 4: rest

day5: light cardio for fat burn (tredmill 1 mile in 5-10 minutes) + 25-35 minutes weight lifting.
day6: intense cardio for fat burn (treadmill for fat burn, 2-3 miles in 20-30 minutes) + 5-10 minutes swimming.
day7: light cardio for fat burn (tredmill 1 mile in 5-10 minutes) + 25-35 minutes weight lifting.

so on and so forth....


Ive been doing that for the past two months and have improved overall but diet is not so good. I eat fast food like 2 times a week maybe 3 and skip breakfast almost everyday because i wake up late and sleep late. After workouts i make a shake with some milk, bananas, honey, sometimes nutes.

any tips to straighten out diet? Im not into bodybuilding or anything I just want a great physique like this picture. http://i56.tinypic.com/2j3mrl2.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Not really buff to the point where veins start popping out but at the same time very fit.

This should work for you, as I've posted it before now, but you might want to set the alarm about 1 minutes earlier so you can actually at the breakfast :wink:

Breakfast

Option 1.

Bowl of Whole-grain Cereal and 1 rasher of Bacon, fat trimmed off and scrambled Eggs, (2 Egg Whites + Yolk)

Option 2.

Protein shake, small portion of Nuts, (excluding higher carb ones like Cashews, Chestnuts and Grapenuts), + Apple. Give the Apple 10-15 minutes to digest to improve digestion.


Snack

Option 1.

Portion of Turkey + Orange

Option 2.

Small Portion of Peanuts, some Chicken + Raw Carrott.


Lunch

Option 1.

Large Beef Sandwich with trimmings, I.E. Tomato, Lettuce, Cucumber etc.

Option 2.

Bowl of Chicken Soup, + Pot of yoghurt.


Snack

Option 1.

Turkey + Cashews

Option 2.

Ham + 2 large Tomatos


Dinner

Option 1.

Pork with mashed Potato.

Option 2.

Chicken and Rice

Option 3.

100g Halibut + Broccoli

Easy on the bread with both options.

You could add a few things to certain meals, like Sea Salt, Cracked Black Pepper, Parsley, Mustard, Herbs, Garlic.

The picture you posted is of a guy that is really into weight lifting and probably HIIT style cardio. I really hope you are not ignoring your legs.

The Glutes, Hamstrings and quads are the biggest group of muscles in your body. Hence they burn the most calories. So to ignore them with weights would be to ignore one of your biggest assests to losing the fat you want to lose.
That means, squats, lunges, leg presses, dead lifts.

Think of a tree... the root system below the ground is as big as what you see above the ground... big roots (legs) lead to a strong trunk (core and lower back) which lead to a large canopy (upper back, chest, arms and shoulders). Build your roots up!
