Nice post red, but I disagree with the dairy. It has been proven in numerous studies that skim - fat free dairy has leads to abdominal and overall fat loss when taken with a cutting diet. Just something interesting I picked up.

Can you cite some research backing that claim up, Bohica? Just about two weeks ago the government released a report that milk played no part in either weight loss or weight gain in subjects studied. I don't know that I believe that report either.

Sure

A CLA Deficiency

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a component of beef and milk that has been shown to reduce body fat in both animals and humans. CLA is essential for the transport of dietary fat into cells, where it is used to build muscle and produce energy. Fat that is not used for anabolic energy production is converted into new fat cells. New research shows how dietary CLA reduces body fat, but first let's take a look at why many Americans are now deficient in CLA, compared with their parents.

These were just the first I could find, if you want some more let me know.

IMO, this is not the case for everyone. The last time I tried cutting, I ate very clean and kept my milk in my diet. I only lost 2lbs total. This time I am cutting, cut out all but one glass a day, compared to my usual 3-4 for shakes and such, and I have easily lost 8lbs. This is in a less time period too.

There is a campaign from the FDA or one from the Dairy people that are pushing the studies because of the loss of demand for milk products. I think this has something to do with the sudden change in study results.

Pounds lost has no affect on cutting, what was your bf% with each diet before/after?

[bugaboo]

Why even bother working out when you eat all of that crap?? Seriously unbelievable!

Ummm, I know this is an old post but No one mentioned almond milk in this thread.. It's a great alternative with only 40 calories a cup.

id agree with the thought that the milk industry is trying to drive sales back up in some way or another. i believe there are truths to both the aboved claims and i really depends on the individual and how they react to milk. When im cutting for a fight ill cut milk out about a week to two out from the weigh in but my purpose is that dairy products slow down your entire system which in turn slows down EVERYTHING else. My concerns wud be slower reflexes and metabolism only one of which concern my diet but the other obviously concerns my health in the cage...lol

NEW TO FORUM

Hi I am new to this forum. I have read some of your posts about the science of food and how what you put in is what you get out of it and well, I think I can learn a lot from you. I was never very athletic in my life I was just thin. Now, I'm 31 and I have 3 kids. I have an office job (aka sit on ass all day). My weight is 211. My BMI is 49.4. I just want to be healthy. I rarely eat fast food or sweets. I think my biggest mistake is bread and cheese. Can any of you give me doable guidelines as to what I should expect to lose a week? I am going to the gym now 4 times a week. I don't want to set unrealistic goals (I wish I can drop 6lbs. in a week) because I know that won't be permanent weight loss. Any help is appreciated. Thank you for your time.
:):staypuff: <- me haha

I am going to take a bit of a contrarian approach here.

If you are a 211lb female, unless you are 6 feet 5 inches tall, I will NOT recommend a gym unless you are either walking on a treadmill or on a stairmaster. Anything else and you are setting yourself up for injury. If you are doing anything with weights right now, stop. I can guarantee it will set you back because you will get hurt.

The first thing you need to do is to take stock of your diet. How tall are you? You need to figure out what your daily caloric needs are and make sure you undershoot it but a good amount. 500 Kcal is a minimum. 1000 Kcal is good if you can do it without starving yourself.

Use fitday.com and do an honest assessment of how many calories you eat every day and how many carbs/protein/fat calories are in there. Do this for a week and report back here on what your daily intake is.

As far as exercise is concerned, the only thing I would recommend for you is to walk for 1 hour every day. And who wants to do that in a gym? Just walk outside. If you really really want to spend time in the gym, use the elliptical or treadmill but BE CAREFUL. At your weight, you are likely to hurt yourself.

yea, i think you need to get your diet in check. give us an example of what your average diet per day looks out. dont be afraid to post details like type of bread and how much etc..
