MD,
This is not a bodybuilding diet in the sense that the main focus should be on protein (which I find wrong anyway). This plan has ample amount of protein at 25%. I'd much rather be concerned with the carbohydrates to insure an optimum workout through a high energy level instead of a mediocre workout that would have me break down or run out of energy half way through. You'll find more on why I think that way in paragraph #3 below. Thanks.
What bodybuilders fail to realise is that any excess protein will go to serve as an energy calorie and Not as a muscle building calorie if the carbs are not at an optimum level. This is not a 60%+ carb plan where a surplus is going to be created. And even then, as long as you’re utlising your calories through some high intensity and consistent exercises, then all the bread and other carbs will be craved and welcomed by your metabolism.
MD, please point who ever is objecting to the amount of calories as being too high, point them to my 13500 calories article please. I'm totally against ultra low calorie "diets" and all for calorie expenditure through blood sweat and tears. The results are incomparable in the long run from a health stand point of view (something bodybuilders tend to overlook sometimes as they get carried away with the "look" of it all.
MD, point these people to my article of "let's break the shackles". Mate I take that back, you're not my servant here so why not just ask them to join this forum and deal with me one on one.
Chocolate is in because it has amazing health properties and it serves to nourish the psychological aspect of a "diet". Something all dieters underestimate until they drive their bodies into a state where only a binge would do.
