Extreme Cutting - Fish and Rice cakes - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Lee1 · 20-05-2007, 10:09 PM

Hi - I saw a documentary on TV recently where a young lad for competing for a contest. He needed to drop 2 stones and his two week diet was simply Fish every two hours with rice cakes every four hours.

What would happen if you did this solid for two weeks (with plenty of water) then continued your healthy balanced diet as normal? Would it be a complete waste of time?

Goal would be to shed as much body fat as possible in the quickest amount of time.

I do 20 mins high intensity interval training 6 times a week and weights 3 times a week.

Thanks.

If you went straight from just the fish and rice cakes to a full on diet again you would simply rebound back to your current weight.

Fish and riace caakes?? Iiii Lad

Jimbo - I guess you saw the same documentary?

When I mean full-on diet, I mean returning to a calorie controlled of around 2500Kcal per day consisting of high protein, good carbs, fats etc not like pigging out on junk.

Depends if you could stomach it. Personally, I think there are much better and healthier ways to diet. There wouldn't be anything wrong with a bowl of oats and egg whites or a shake in the morning, then move on to fish. The lack of veg was worrying. There is nothing wrong with some broccoli with a meal.

If you increase cals slowly you should avoid "rebounding". This usually happens when BBer's have dieted for a show and end up with a diet of cake and pies afterwards as TT said in another thread.

As long as you increased cals slowly, kept up some cardio, I suspect you'd be fine.

Ive just bought some white fish fillets from Asdas and i might try these for a few days with some brocolli and oat cakes. Rest of the meals will be eggs, whey and oats.

Lee1 · 21-05-2007, 11:46 AM

Is there anything special with fish for cutting or could it simply be replaced with lean meat or even something cheaper such as tuna or a protein shake?

Obviously six pieces of fish per day is going to be expensive.

Ollie B · 21-05-2007, 11:47 AM

Jay Cutler dieted for the Olympia on white fish until he got down to a weight he was happy with then he put back in some animal meats.

White fish is just about as pure protein meal as you can eat but totally tasteless.

Make sure you supplement with a decent vit&mineral plus a vitamin C only tablet. With just broccoli in there you arent getting many micronutrients or anti-oxidants. Be sure to report back with progress though!

i saw this documentary, was called Baby Faced Bodybuilders. Followed the 17yr old who won mr cumbria then competeted in mr universe or olympia cant remember and he won the under 23yr section and was only just 17, then he came 4th in the mens finals.

He wasn't huge but was so lean you could see everything. He went on a 3 day bender after though and put 1.5stone back on because of the diet he was on before he rocketed up and then had to start losing again.
