How long have you been with this current diet? What were your start stats?

[SuperSport]

How is your strength holding up SM?

[SweatMachine]

strength has wained abit....wht do ya expect though

[pumpseeker]

4:30am cardio? Jeez, you must be committed.

Diet looks good but I don't like have shakes back to back in meals. I would rather go shake, whole food, shake, whole food, etc. Btw, ever try blending the oatmeal with your isopure? I do this with Prolab Lean Mass Matrix and it tastes like a granola bar....mmmm so good. ANd it makes it so much easier to down a cup of dry oatmeal!

Sounds like you're making good progress. Keep it up bro!

[SweatMachine]

I'll try the oatmeal. its just kind of inconvenient at work though

I know what you mean about the back to back shakes, but that early in the morning I dont feel like eating.....
I guess I should try.

oh by the way, Im no super hero, I have to normally get up at 4:45 to be at work by 7am, I drive 1 hr to work, so Im only getting up a little earlier to do cardio. I watch the news for 20 mins and sweat a liitle, its not too bad.

Thanx for your input - its appreciated!

I am with you Sweat Machine. I am getting up 530 for cardio. Although I did puss out twice this week. I ride my bike to the local school and run 4 200 yd sprints then ride back.

My diet is a bitch right now. 15 grams of carbs on non workout days. But since I have upped the water a bunch I don't feel that bad.

[SweatMachine]

you mean 150 g of carbs?

[rugbythug]

no 15- 1/4 cup oatmeal at 7am. Then chicken and newmans all day. I guess I do have a couple TB of Natty PB and it has 2 grams of carbs so more like 19

[SweatMachine]

whoa......can you say Ketosis

[rugbythug]

I am trying-havn't taken the keto sticks out yet. But I have only been dizzy a couple of times other wise I am ok. I think I am fat enough my body is not starving yet. I don't know

[dpsquat]

why

so much liquid protien?????? when you make the switch to whole foods look out!

[Shredz]

All your values of carbs, protein and fat seem to be spot on. But personally I couldn't do all those shakes. I find without solid food I am way to hungry while dieting which leaves me wide open for cheat foods.

Have you considered replacing some of your protein shakes with solid foods. Expecially in meal 2 since you aren't eating anything solid as far as protein goes until 9am? Maybe try 10 egg white.
