My transformation thus far
- Thread starter KarenB
- Start date
Well, I changed my diet around. I quit eating "fake foods" and stuck to mainly meats, veggies, dairy, berries and a few grains. At first I joined an all womens fitness, and only did cardio (because I was nervous about working out in front of guys), but right after that last picture was taken I switched to a great coed gym. I am now lifting heavy (for a female anyway) and am trying to build up muscle. I am giving myself about a year, maybe less before I enter into a figure competition. The good thing is that my body is perfectly symmetrical, even after all that loss!
okay, Here's my menu for today
breakfast:
2 Hardboiled Omega 3 eggs
1 string cheese
1/2 cup oatmeal (regular)
Snack:
4 oz cottage cheese 2%
1 tbsp flax oil
Lunch:
1 cup cauliflower
1 tbsp butter
3 cups salad mix
6 cucumber slices
1 oz shredded cheese
1 can tuna
1/2 tbsp mayo
1 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
1/2 cup cookied brown rice seasoned heavily with cayenne pepper (very hot!)
8oz green tea
SN:
2 oz Macad. nuts
Dinner:
6 oz chicken breast
2 cups broccoli
1 slice of thin sliced Rye bread-toasted (or 1/2 cup whole wheat macaroni-not sure yet)
SN: 1 cup fromen mixed berries
I also drink a MINIMUM of 64 oz of water - usually before 5pm
i take 3 capsules of fish oil tablets and 1 multivitamin
So - What do you think?
I am thinking about taking an EC stack with yohimbe(sp) started in June. Also in June Iam going to remove 1 starch from my menu a day, so I'll go from 3 a day to 2.
Right now I am really trying to get my strength built up. I don't wanna be a sissy on the assisted machines
I've had great gains in strength with my sqats and deadlifts. So I'm doing something right! I'm no sissy on the assisted machines!

its too much work for me. its a good menu dont get me wrong. but at the end of the day the only thing that matters is total cals, pro, and carbs. you could have 7 shakes a day, some with carbs depending on your needs and that would be sufficient. convience is crucial. dont forget about shakes and bars. i think you need more, pro, and less carbs. you should probably have 200 gr pro, and 70-100 gr carbs. mostly postworkout.
meal1 30gr shake
meal2 30gr bar
meal3 30gr tuna on salad
meal4 pre 30gr shake 30gr carbs 1 pop tart - if you def need some energy
meal5 postworkout 30gr protein 60gr carbs dextrose (i use a mass recovery drink)
meal6 30gr chicken breast, salad
meal7 30gr shake
then you just fill in whatever it is you use to get those numbers. snacks are peanuts, almonds, peanut butter, sugar free jello, beef jerky. everything is interchangable, if you have time, egg whites for breakfast, or tuna on salad for meal 2, too. whatever works for you. hope i helped. good luck.

I must say I am STUNNED>
In 4 years on these boards I have seen alot of strange posts but NEVER have I seen someone suggest a person get rid of REAL food meals and replace them with bars and shakes. :disgust:
You say convenience is crucial well maybe to YOU but not if you want the best results.
And did yoU REALLY tell her to replace her preworkout meal to include a POPTART????
You also said "but at the end of the day the only thing that matters is total cals, pro, and carbs. you could have 7 shakes a day, some with carbs depending on your needs and that would be sufficient." WHAT
So we no longer have to worry about glycemic index and quality of protien?
Karen, Trust me you have made AMAZING gains keep doing what you are doing and if you like ADD a shake don't take out REAL food and replace them with bars and shakes.
