Also you told me to do 2 days on 2200 and 2 days on 2800. Is there any benefit to doing 2 dats 2200 and 1 day 2800 or do i need more time on the higher carbs for cycling. Im pretty carb sensative thats all.

Not the fittest at the moment either, could only perform 5 X 10 complete Burpies and was just to stuffed to do any more. i could have probably done 50 in the morning and 50 later in the afternoon. But since i didnt know how tough these were I was not prepared. Not to worry ill be increasing them by 10 in the one session until i get up to the 100. Then increasing the reps per set i do until i can do all 100 in the one session if thats even possible.

Hi Newguy22,

I understand what you mean and I do understand your concern. I usually specify but for some reason I didn't for breakfast for example with the sweet potato. There it's cooked weight, same with the chicken. Other places I say (raw) cooked, as in the rice for example. But thanks for pointing that out. I may have to do some rectifying tonight on few food items.

As for the cycling of the calories, people tell me it stops their metabolism from slowing down due to say a 2200 calories when in two days time you up it to 2800. That gives you an average of 2500 calories/day. Eating plans are all about trial and error to see what works for you. As for being carb sensitive; your energy has to come from somewhere especially when you combine this eating plan with the lose fat/maintain muscle program which is very taxing on your muscle glycogen levels. So it's calories in vs calories expanded.

The burpees will come; no one is born fit. We all have to really work at it and you’re doing just fine.

If I've left anything out, please don't hesitate to grab my attention to it. Thank you Newguy22.

Fadi.

I hear what you're saying lkt004 and would like to point out that there are also 2800, 3200, and a 4000 calorie food plan to look at if you're interested. There'll never be a one size fits all as I'm sure you know. However I've included these eating plans here for anyone who's interested in having some form of structure or a base from which to proceed from, that's all.

The protein issue has been discussed somewhat on pages 5 & 6 of this thread; you can check it out if you like.

Thank you.

Fadi.

Thanks so much for the help Fadi!! I really think these plans will help me get my diet in check.

I really like the idea of cycling the 2200 and 2800 every 2 days.

I think I will try this for a couple months and see how it works.

No problem gentlemen. Just be aware that food plans are there as a base that can be modified to suite your personal needs. So no rigidity please since I much prefer flexibility here...and throughout life's journey.

All the best to you warriors!

Hi Fadi
I have passed this eating and exercise plan on to a friend who wants to lose some weight, and he just had one question regarding the dinner meal, specifically the Butter beans salad. Do you mean to make a salad such as this Butter Beans Salad Recipe - How To Make Butter Beans Salad and consume 75g, along with the XL salad? Or to make an extra large salad and include 75g butter beans?
Thanks
Ben
