I used to train, diet, work and compete. Now I train, eat, and am retired. I have learned that it is possible to stay fit and healthy while cooking a great dinner with a cocktail in hand. Remember, "Life is not a dress rehearsal"

I am lean too early
I got little too lean too soon again. Seems that I go on my diet, and I don't cheat and I lose weight and bodyfat. Strange how that works huh?
Figure Pro (FP) said to cut weight training down to three days a week, cardio the other three. I think I shall go nuts, I have 6 weeks left until my competition!
So what is this miracle diet? Basically:
4:00am Protein meal replacement drink, supplements
Train
6:30am Protein meal replacement drink, supplements
8:00am Waffles (Yup) made with 1/2 cup uncooked oats, 4 egg whites, flavorings
11:30am 4 ounces chicken breast, 3/4 cup brown rice, 1 cup vegetables, supplements
3:00pm 4 ounces chicken breast, 3/4 cup brown rice, 1 cup vegetables
6:00pm 5 ounces fish, 3 ounces sweet potato, 2 cups vegetables, supplements
8:30pm 1 cup vegetables, 4 egg whites, supplements
Now it may sound boring, but I eat lot's of different vegetables, I usually roast them, get a bit of char on them and even the broccoli tastes great. You can always have turkey or fish instead of chicken. Tonight I had some fantastic wild salmon, never buy farmed salmon. Farmed salmon has more PCB's and a higher fat content, plus it doesn't taste good!
Too lean too fast? Geez, you only started this blog a week ago!
ReplyDeleteCan you give us the nutritional breakdown of your protein meal replacement drink, please? [calories, grams of protein, etc.]
Also, you know that I followed your wonder diet for about a month last year and the results were extraordinary -- I was eating a lot, rarely felt very hungry, the food was of good nutritional value, and I lost about a kilo of fat a week!
ReplyDeleteThe only problem I had was figuring out how to make enough diverse, tasty vegetable dishes, without using oil. Of course, if you can sautée in lots of olive-oil every thing tastes great! But can you give us some tips on what vegetable dishes you eat and how you prepare them?
Derek, I started my diet on February 20, but didn't start this until later :)
ReplyDeleteThe protein drink I use is called Lean 1 by Nutrition 53, here is a link to it:
