Cutting Diet

[dna9488]

Got your pm bro and if you are doing the the diet as your are saying you are ok as far as food goes but what you are missing is cardio bro. Post #16 you said you do cardio only once a week and thats not enough brother. You have to add cardio in fact I know it's gonna sound to much but I say you should do 30mins of cardio in the morning and 30 mins in the evening. And remember fat burning cardio is like cooking rice(slow heat) DO NOT jump on some cardio machine and go nuts. My favorite is stationary bike just sit there and pedal slowly watch tv check out the girls but don't let your HR get past your 70% of max bpm. I know everyone is different but for the 90% of the population fat loss is not possible without the proper cardio workout.

Yes that is true, cardio is very minimal. I will try to add in more. For me, if i keep my heart rate between 130-140 BPM I notice the fat coming off quicker because I was doing that over the summer.

Also, there is a science to carb cycling. It is not simply low carb for 6 days and then have some vague notion of increased carbs on the 7th day. Scott may have better inputs since he competes, but when I carb cycled, there were lots of details to consider like types of carbs, how to transition from the low carb to the high carb state, etc. etc. for maximum benefits.

for carb days, its nothing but complex carbs. In the morning its 3 pieces of multigrain bread.

Pre-workout its 4-5 cups of brown rice and a large sweet potato.

Post workout its about 1 cup of basmati rice

and i continue to eat rice, chicken, and vege's all day

Friday's i also head to my VW/Audi car meet. So i have shakes with myself and when 11pm-12am hits i hit up McDonalds to get Angus burgers and quarter pounders. Sleep around 3-4am and wake up at noon.

Thing is i end up shitting EVERYTHING and i will weigh less than the Friday morning. Start my regular diet back up Saturday and i am still at 219-220lb lol

those 3 chicken and veggie meals are what is killing you.

do 6-7 ounces chicken and 1 cup rice in each of those meals.

lol read the whole thread again carefully. I am doing no cardio and i am stronger than ever too.

I read enough of it to disagree with your approach. U can learn the hard way.

Really?? Way too many carbs for one meal.

I understand the science behind carb cycling but never did it. I keep it very simple. You should know how may calories you need to gain/maintain/lose weight. Same foods just more or less calories.

yea man you have no idea how much carbs i eat pre-workout. It gives me a lot of energy. Before it was 2-3 cups of brown rice with 1 large sweet potato and after a week i no longer had the energy wanted. 4-5 cups and a large sweet potato really do the trick

I'd puke that shit up in a second doing any core exercises, that's insane amount of carbs - how long before are you eating that ?

I stick w/steak n moderate dose of carbs preworkout. Like my red meat before I lift.

In the gym 1.5-2 hours later after that meal.

When you do your carb load do you measure how much you take in that day? If you don't you should. Since you are trying to get lean I wouldn't pass 400 grams a day(about 2 grams per pound of your body weight) and you should do it only once a week not twice. You gonna have to suck it buddy. :D

I carb load only on Friday's, no other days. I'll start measuring, I just started doing it a few weeks ago. Still playing around and seeing what works.

Regardless, no matter what day it is, I get in a large carb meal pre-workout.

No wonder you still got a fat ass. :D
You got to cut that shit out bro. I don't care who says what when you are cutting you shouldn't exceed the allowed carbs per given day(in your case I say stay 150grams plus your post shake)Only time you are allowed to have a big carb intake like that is post workout not pre.

post? What? If I don't have a large carb meal pre-workout i am done for. no energy, no nothing. Post workout, I don't touch carbs, all my carbs are in my shake in the form of malto-dextrin. The only time i eat carbs post-workout are on my carb cycling days (Friday).
