Can some of you show me what your diet looks like while cutting down for competition. My last diet I lost alot of muscle, but I was also not on AS. Just getting ideas because I plan to get shredded for the summer. All info is appreciated.
 
my diet

well it changed alot when i was getting ready for jr natiionals and the mr USA's... but the main thing is sticking to it ill post a sample diet tonight
 
ok

I get fat in the off season so i drop carbs at begining and then add them back



This diet will work ESPECIALLY for those with excess Fat in the lower abs, thighs, lower back area.

Diet Guidelines:

Avoid All starches, You don't need them if your goal is to get down to 4-7 fucking Percent BodyFat.

1. Eat Tons of Green Veggies (Fiber)

2. Eat Lots of Healthy Fats ex. Steak, Flax Oil, E.v. OliveOil, Salmon, Fish Oils, etc. (Energy)

3. Eat TONS of Protein (Preserve Muscles)

4. DRINK 1 1/2 gallons of H20 a day AT LEAST.

Avoid ALL fruit drinks, Juices, rice, breads.

Eat carbos ONLY after a grueling Glycogen depleting workout.

You will have Tons of energy from the Healthy Fats,
Good digestion from the Fiber,
and great Muscle Hardness and Protection from the Protein.

Healthy Fats = Energy
Protein = Muscle Hardness, Muscle Protection
Fiber = Digestion, and various other health Benefits.


Healthy Fats, Lots of Fiber, And TONS of Protein. That's the key.

Not only will you DROP bodyfat while maintaing Muscle, but you will ALSO have an abundance of energy and your skin (complexion) will be looking great as well.

Example of a Day...

1. 3 servings of Whey/ 1 tablespoon of Flax Oil
2. 8 - 10oz London Broil Steak (Extra Lean)/ 1-2 cups Green Veggies.
3. Grilled Salmon/ 1-2 cups Green Veggies.
4. 3 servings of Whey/ 1 tablespoon of Flax Oil
5. 2 Cans of Tuna/ Chopped Onions/Celery/ 1 tablespoon of Safflower Mayonaise.
6. (Post Workout) MRP or 2 servings of Whey/10oz Orange Juice.
7. 8-10oz Extra Lean Steak/ 2 cups Veggies.

Breaks Down to About:
Protein 1.5 - 2 grams per lb of Bodyweight
Fat .5 - .75grams per lb of Bodyweight
Carbs (only post workout) 30-50 grams
Fiber in the form of Green Veggies - As much as Possible.

Supplements:

Do NOT take ANY FAT BURNERS...why? They will Surpress your appetite TOO much, You need to eat every 2 hours. If you take a fat burner you won't be up to it.

1 Multivitamin
Extra Zinc 30 - 50mgs
Fish Oil Caps
Flax Oil Liquid
200mcg Selenium
800mgs Folic Acid
800iu Vitamin E
2grams Vitamin C

WORKOUTS:

Staying ACTIVE!! is the KEY. ALWAYSSSS stay Active.

Lift 4 times a Week. Alternate Between Heavy Low Rep workouts, and High repetition Moderate Weight Workouts.

Cardio, 4-7 days a week, Alernate Between 20 min High Intensity (Jump Ropes, Sprints) and Low intensity for 45min - 1hour (Walking, Light Jogging, Jumping Jacks (lol) )



This DIET is NOT easy by Anymeans, It takes proper planning a day ahead of time. (You have to have the Steaks/ Veggies/ Chicken/ Salmon, Thawed out Before cooking them, Put stuff in Tupper Ware..you Just have to be Prepared.)
Be prepared to Go through at LEAST 1lb of lean Steak a day, and 10 servings of Whey Powder a day and TONS of Green Veggies a day. Be prepared to be going grocery shopping at least twice a week.

Like I said ths diet is not easy, But oh well, No one said this game is Easy.

But Remember if you can stick through it for 8 Grueling weeks, You'll be Satified at the End with your Amazing Results.

Good Luck.

do this diet for about 4 weeks
 
Looks great, dp. BTW, what do you consider "fat" when you say you get fat in the off season? And how does the diet change when you add the carbs back in?

Thanks! I'm feeling fat now, and am tempted to start cutting now, but I know it's too early (for an 8/9/2003 contest).
 
Another question: do you do this 7 days a week for 4 weeks, and do you throw in any cheat days or meals (to "trick" your body into keeping your metabolism high)?
 
I hit 14 weeks for pre-contest...My diet looks about the same...lots of lean MEAT....I LOVE MEAT! Salmon, flank steak, shrimp, chicken, tuna (the fresh kind!), clams/mussels... I go through about a dozen eggs a day...never more than 2 yolks though. On the training, at about 8 weeks I'll go to 2-a-day workouts with cardio first thing in the am on an empty stomach and then resistance training in the afternoon. I'll hit the weights 5x and the cardio 4-6 times per week depending on where I am compared to my weekly goals leading up to the endpoint. I will say though that dieting to get show-ready is VERY catabolic. So, without something to protect all that sweet-heard-earned-muscle (AAS), you WILL lose quite a bit of muscle too. Dieting to just look good doesn't have to be as intense and is less destructive on your muscle gains. I like what dpsquat said about fat-burners. I'd like to try that, but since I have a desk job, it's hard to stay active enough to keep my mid-day metabolism up on the calorie restriction. I'll hit the ECA/Clen alternating plan for about 10-12 weeks.
 
diet

!
I change my diet weekly if i feel my body looks depleted or not losing fast enough! remeber to go by the mirror!!

Ill use the above to kick start my diet after cleaning it up for a few weeks.

I have dieted to make a weight class of somesort since 1984. I have seen how things react to me and others and think that your body needs different caloric changes to stimulate the fat loos.
 
dp that is some helpful info, ,I'm doing my first show this year its on 7/12 so I'll start a diet like this on 4/1 or so. thanks for the info. :)
 
Yeah, I'll start this diet on 4/20 for my 8/9 show. I really appreciate it too!

What TEAM is that again??

Do you eat those all at once, or spread throughout the day? And is that the extent of your shitloading that day, or is there more?
