Dieting

[B.I.G.]

How good is your diet? Honestly!!!

[wedgylx]

bulk....twice a week.

cut, once every 2-3 weeks if i've already met my goal

usually one meal a week, and its typically breakfast. i love breakfast, but i dont like syrup, so i guess that saves me some calories, pancakes lor waffles ightly dusted with powdered sugar, with strawberries on top, so good. i have an absolutely killer recipe for french toast if anyone is interested, and willing to sacrifice a large part of their caloric "budget"

my diet is very strict and stays that way for 5 days let up little on day 6 and then day seven is my total disaster free day

Not much to report here

HONESTLY, seven days of the right eating (at least in my mind) and my body seems to agree.

Many make fun of all the times they see me eating while in the hospital. I make sure I have 10 minutes between every 4-5 patients for that exact purpose. Again - certainly practice what I preach. The only excuse is NO excuse.


When I do go off (like once-twice a month maybe - this is actually overexagerrating) ... it is likely Chinese food or ice cream (as I am sure you want something to relate to). My appreciation for food is far greater than many.

The reason many say - well don't you reset Leptin levels, etc... YES but I do NOT believe it is reason to start eating everything in site as an excuse for a cheat day. This is the rationalization that was developed some time ago and there is NO science to say, you cannot reset Leptin (your metabolic regulator for sure) without going off a "diet" - this is the "lifestyle" of choice.

Again, the mantra: Eat to Live, Don't Live to Eat!

i have my free day once a week and it is for no rational or scientific rational from the past i just believe that my body has worked very had for a week and it needs a nice reward and i like the food. I have not had any problem doing this effecting my body size. as i am kinda a hard gainer and have a very fast metabolizim

Well,

you are a lucky one max

recall - I was once a 350 pound walking lard factory which is what incited my interest in the field so much...taking off the fat and changing body composition completely!

Now, I would say roughly 75% of my clients have the similar problem - too much fat. There are 15% that are post gall bladder surgery, liver transplant, etc... and a measly 10% that share your "Hard gainer" body composition. Most in your position are content with being thin and could care less about body comp. so I commend you in your position that many are envious of for still worrying about improvement.
