To the in-shape posters and lurkers who need to post

Sounds pretty much like leangains.com

It'll probably work, but it'll suck.

 

OP, do you seriously believe you could do this the rest of your life?

No way. It's just another fad diet that might give you results for a short period of time.

 

Good diet. Yes its something we do for life. I do the bulletproof diet personally. Its similar to this. Anything high healthy fat, medium protein, and low carb is a good lifestyle diet to follow. Im 210 lbs dont work out all that much and have a 33in waist all due to my diet. Dave asprey bulletproof diet is what i follow. Its free google it.

 

+1. Leangains changed my eating habits for good. I started in August and it has worked great for me since.

pros:
-no wasting time making breakfast (allows me to workout in the AM now)
-bigger and more fuller lunch and dinner
-more meals options since you have more calories to work with at each meal (instead of 400 x 5 meals, i can do 1200, 800).
-no need to carry around multiple meals

cons:
-sometimes you do get a lil hungry in the AM, just drink water or something to get through till your noon meal.
-if you have a bigger calorie need, 2 meals big meals can be too much, but you can split it to 3 or 4 meals i guess as long as it's during your "feeding period".

 

I'm hesitant in believing this diet would work. When you say "gorge," like I can eat pizza and Whataburger every night?

 

that's just making it way too complicated. Stick with hitting your macros and you should be good. Those fad diets don't do sh*%. Stick with the basics and you can't go wrong.

 

it's not a fad. it's intermittent fasting. been around for years. these are just two twists on it. leangains is another.

I'm guessing the weight loss is attributed to shocking your system. Anything that breaks routine will result in faster gains. That's my experience. In dieting, lifting and cardio.

 

Seems to me like you just want an excuse to binge eat, but yes, this will definitely work. I would suggest you prepare your meals for the week ahead of time.

 

I am on a diet. It's called "Eat Less, Exercise More."

 

Sounds like it can work if you commit to the weight training as well at the right time.

Only thing I would add is that first thing in the AM, I'd make myself an amino acid drink. I currently take 2 scoops of BCAAs along with 15g of l-arginine on an empty stomach @ about 630am and work out at about 645am.

If you do some research on the amino acids l-arginine & l-leucine, you'll understand why i'd consume these while in a fasting state for the hgh & catabolism benefits.

i buy my amino acids/arginine powder here:

Do yourself a favor, take a break every 7 or 8 weeks for like a week.

Good luck.

 

I don't really follow dieting advice much but try to eat more fruits, vegetables and fiber. I have heard a lot though about not skipping breakfast and from my own experience I definitely seem to be mentally and physically sharper in the morning when I eat breakfast. During weekdays I wakeup early and get a light workout before I eat and that seems to help me much more than either skipping breakfast or skipping a morning workout.

 

I'v stayed pretty skinny my whole life because I worked hard on my genes.

 

i've been doing this for the last 7 years or so. Only difference is my fast is 12-14 hours and I prefer working out in the morning on a fasted workout with some BCAA. It has been fantastic and I don't plan to go back.

 

Crap diet.

Primal diet is the best way to stay in great health and shape.

Ask yourself if you honestly can do the renegade diet for the next 50 years?

 

1) Just eat clean (most importantly limiting sugar intake)

2) Keep count of your macros (whether you're trying to maintain, cutting or clean bulking)

3) lift heavy

4) do cardio
