ok so how hard do i have to go with this thing , i wanna reduce bodyfat but not hate life doing it. as i said my diet before consisted of like 4-6 cans of pop or ice tea a day minimum , some water , not alotta protein and a**** load of carbs from like chips and stuff and alot of cheeseburgers , ive cutt out the pop/ice tea , ive cut out the chips , i find myself always hungry when im eating healthy cuz the stuff doesnt seem to fill me up. but whatever . ok so like in the morning i have a bowl of froot loops , thats got like 11g of sugar per bowl , but i have a big bowl so i double it in estimation..... i mean is some sugary stuff like one bowl of this a day bad? and then at work i have like 2 chick breast sandwhichs and a bowl of soup , they feed us lunch and are out of water so the last 2 days ive had a 5alive , but i dunno if the 25g of sugar in it is added or natural...
natural is good right?
and how about steak? i had two so far this week? and i take a gainer shake? i also have cinnamon bagels (13g of sugar/bagel) i just wanna know if this stuff is bad , if i ate it i wouldnt go overboard i mean if i have a bagel i may have one every other day , same witht he froot loops. i just wanna eat this stuff not throw it away , then get healthier stuff if this stuff is bad.
i wanna lose my love handles , i said i dont have tooo much bodyfat ... i would love to do cardio but fear of losing muscle mass!!!!! cuz i still wanna get bigger.
ive been proud of myself this past week for changing my diet but now am getting frustrated after reading this guys cutting diet , its like egg whites/grapefruit for breakfeast , a bowl of plain oatmeal for lunch and dinner and a protein shake as a snack , if i ate like that id kill myself. he said on his cheat day he has fruit juice and fruits and stuff , i thought cheat days were like cheeseburgers and chicken wings , his cheat days are like my good eating days that i struggle to have! advice please!
should i lose the gainer? i mean i dont have to stop all carbs right? i mean the froot loops the bread on the sandwhichs , potatoes at dinner isnt too much is it?...
will ditching the high sugar and junk good eventually cut the fat away? cuz thats literally all i ate and im seriously dont ahve much bodyfat .. my friends say i look bulky not fat and can tell that i work out , hahah makes me feel good
First, read unholyephraim's post again....he was spot on. There is absolutely no reason that you cannot enjoy life and eat well at the same time. The healthiest foods are often the most delicious. Give me a grilled delmonico, oven roasted red skinned potatoes and roasted asparagus ANY DAY over some crappy microwaved meal or a bag of foot smelling doritos. All you have to do is eat what nature intended you to eat. The only way you cannot enjoy life through food is if you jump on the fad diet bandwagon and go on some insane diet where you eat every meal out of a box with some celebrity on it or only eat cabbage for a year. Don't fear saturated fat, or fat in general. Eat whole eggs. Eat butter. Eat coconut oil. Whole milk. Fatty steaks. Chicken skin. The list goes on. What nature DID NOT intend for us to eat was refined and rancid polyunsaturated vegetable oils (think corn, canola, safflower, soybean, etc.) Most pre packaged foods or pre made foods are made with rancid vegetable oil. Deep fried foods are almost always fried in these oils. These oils produce an inflammatory response in the body (arachadonic acid cascade), and can lead to heart disease. Did you know that canola oil and other types of vegetable oils are often treated before being sold so they don't smell aweful when you open the bottle? They smell bad because the oil is heated during processing, turning the oil rancid. As for the drink you described with the 25g of sugar. Ditch it. It doesn't matter if the sugar is "natural" or not. High Fructose Corn Syrup can be dubbed "natural" if the manufactures want to. Most juices are pasteurized (heated to very high temps to kill everything in the juice, including most vitamins and enzymes) to prolong shelf life. Drinking juice is equivalent to drinking soda, with a small amount of vitamins (that are still bioavailable). The only drink you need is water. You can also enjoy coffee, unsweetened tea, and sometimes unheated/unpasteurized fresh squeezed juices. If you must sweeten something, add stevia (google it). Your cinnamon bagel is probably the equivalent to 6 pieces of white bread. The nutrition has been stripped from the bagel. It is essentially a doughnut. If you eat bread, eat Ezekiel or any other sprouted grain bread (google it). Can you pack your lunch for work? If so, do it. Eat whatever you want one or two days a week. Try to plan it so it is when with friends or family. Eventually that processed garbage that for some reason got the privilege to be called "food" will no longer be appealing to you. As for filling you up, I find it hard to believe that normal food (i.e. "healthy" food, not fake food) makes you hungry faster than processed garbage. Normal food has less sugar, more fiber, and has more volume to it per calorie. 3 eggs, 2 slices of Ezekiel toast, sautee'd mushrooms and coffee will SURELY fill you up faster and for a longer duration than a sugary bowl of fruitloops that will make you hungry again in an hour. If you are eating right and not overtraining, you will not lose muscle. Try interval or HIIT cardio. Check out the westonaprice website in my signature, it changed my life in regards to health and nutrition, and challenges the current flawed paradigm of nutrition "science" in this country.
