weight loss for my wife

[mormonmuscle]

the Atkins diet did not distinguish between fats. you could eat bacon, cheese, etc.. unhealthy shit. the only fat sources i want her to eat are from natural PB, Extra virgin olive oil, fatty fish like salmon, and omega 3 eggs. no condiments like ketchup, etc..

lets not talk about what she will be able to go back to eating. lets get the job done first.

5 meals a day, each meal should be around 15 grams of fat and 30 grams protein.

dont worry about the little carbs in natural PB etc..

if she follows what i tell her, and she does not deviate from the plan, i can get her as lean as she wants to be.

Thanks alot guys, we will do what you say.:)

and just remember, it will be hard for the first 3-4 days until her brain sends the single to start using fat as fuel. once that kicks in she will feel fine.

let me know if any problems pop up with how she feels etc..

one other thing i would recommend. might want to add in a sugar free fiber supp. to keep the digestive/poopy system in shape. :)add it in slow, not to much.

Right on man! We'll keep you updated.

1 last thing. for the first week of this diet, i would suggest you scale back the cardio. let her body get used to its new fuel source.

listen to your body, if it feel weak etc.. don't push it and try to keep running. that will do more harm then good. the body will slow down the metabolism if it is over trained.

Ok, I will let her know.

Are carbs from vegetables ok? Also can she have like flank steaks or is that part of the bad fats she should be avoiding? Is any kind of beef acceptable? Also can she have 100% whey protein with only 1 gram of carbs per serving? Sorry for all the questions, but we just want to make sure we do everything 100%.

Carbs from veggies are fine - greens are the best - broccoli, green beans, etc.

Flank steak and any lean cuts of beef are fine.

Whey protein with 1 gram of carbs is nothing - totally fine!

carbs in veggies are fine.

any kind of beef is fine. just remember the higher fat content in something like hamburger compared to flank.

whey is fine.

We were wondering if it would be ok for her to have a cheat day? The reason I ask is our anniversay, and her birthday is coming up soon, and I would like to take her out to eat, but she doesn't want to do anything that will mess up her diet. Also, should she try to keep her carbs below like 20 grams a day or so. I know we are trying to cut them out but I just want to make sure that if she has too much peanut butter or vegetables that it won't screw her up cause of the amount of carbs she has in one day. I had also heard that you shouldn't count peanut butter, or beans as a protein source since it doesn't contain all the bcaa's. Let me know your thoughts on this so we know if she can count those as a protein source. Thanks.

(From Dave Palumbo) I edited is for use for a women.

The premise of the diet is high protein (about 1 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!

Example of diet:

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: 35g Whey Protein with 1 ? tablespoon of All Natural Peanut butter (no sugar)

MEAL #3
"Lean Protein Meal": 6oz chicken with 1/2-cup cashew nuts (almonds, or walnuts)

MEAL #4
SHAKE: 35g Whey Protein with 1 ? tablespoons of All Natural Peanut butter (no sugar added)

MEAL #5
"Fatty Protein Meal": 6oz 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

1 cheat meal once per week. Do not have the mindset of, "well since we already had 1 cheat meal today, one more wont hurt". THIS IS VERY WRONG.

in that 1 cheat meal she can have anything she wants. much better to have one big cheat meal then 2 or 3 smaller cheat meals.

[Bouncer]

This shit here is so over rated/\...This is nothing but a marketing scheme.

well when an egg has less saturated fat and has been replaced with healthy fats that = less chance for cholesterol problems etc..

dietary cholesterol is not the problem with high cholesterol levels in the body. saturated fat is.
