Just Started Dieting Again

[mattd]

TweetI had gotten out of the routine a year ago (traveling for work) and put some pounds back on. Got back at it in the gym, and bulked up pretty good. I'm taking Test and EQ. Now I'm about 245-50 and need to cut about 25-30 pounds off and I"ll be fairly lean. I'm low carbing (works best for me). BUT the older I get the harder it is. The weight isn't dropping like it use to. I've normally lost around 10-15 pounds in 2 weeks an I'm at 9 right now. I've stepped up the cardio, but just getting harder....

TweetThe biggest thing with changing your diet is to not do it all at once, or you will fail miserably. First, start by eating four days a week very very clean. Once that becomes easy to do, up it to five, and then finally six. I do not believe you need to eat clean seven days a week unless you are competing, but that's me. This way, the one day you get to splurge, but just don't over do it. However, if you try to jump right in to seven days a week, it won't last. So, start small, even if you have to do three days at first, just make sure it's clean all day and every meal. Baby steps will take you a long way.

TweetI agree with T-man. You eat clean and do a lot of cardio, but you must also give your body a break and "recalibrate" by having a cheat day once a week where you eat (within reason) whatever you want. I assume you are taking a day or two off from your cardio as well (a must). Also change-up your cardio and diet every 2 weeks will help.

TweetI know I know it's hard to imagine...About 3 yrs ago I went cold turkey..no carbs, caffeine, beer, milk, bread..just lean meats, clean veggies(broc, lettuce, celery), and water for 6-8 months...I think I was around 215 @ 5'11..BF was low but not what I wanted (12% +/-). Now I'm about 240ish..lost around 15 so far..I'm going to wait until June and get a little something extra for my work outs....right now its' all just me
