Hello mate, I would advise avoiding supplements to begin with. Keep your diet and training in check and see how that takes you.

There will be plenty of cutting diets and routines on the forum, just take a look

only thing with the diets n having 5-6 meals a day though is i work odd hours... i usually work out from 10-12 in the morning then work from 1-9 in the evenin...

take a few protein shakes to work with you, to keep your calorie, protein, meals up

I prep all my food in the am, store them in containers and then take them to work with me. Im pretty sure you can work around this one if you put the effort in.

Hi Platsy, forgot you had signed up till just now. I prepare all my food early morning before work and store it in containers. I take two protein shakes to work for before/after gym workout.

Have a look at that link that celeratt has posted, that is Geo that i told you about who has helped me no end so far.

The diet on his thread is pretty much the same as what i am on at the moment but i am not 100% strict on it sometimes with work committments getting in the way.

Good luck lad!!

irwit is realising, diet, traing, rest, supplements, 12 egg breakfasts are nothing without consistency Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: London Posts: 505	Re: Just starting out could we see your current weeks routine and diet. Gives us alot more idea on what you could change to help you.
