i am looking to cut a bit of bf for the coming stag do in Ibiza in 8 weeks time. BF is approx 15% give or take a few% and i weigh around 185lbs and was looking at the following article by PSCARB.


http://www.uk-muscle.co.uk/losing-we...med-carbs.html

i train mon/wed/fri for an hour a time. i do a 40min 4 mile jog on a sat morning first thing. and i cycle tues/thurs for 30mins doing 20k. sunday is a rest day.
is my following diet any good as i train in the evening and not mornings,

6am- 5 large eggs with only 2 yolks (should this be more fats?)
9am- 50g prot shake with handful of alomnds or tablespoon od olive oil
12pm- tin of tuna, peppers,tomatoes, onions, lettuce, corn, brocolli. olive oil
3pm-same as 9am
4.30 pre-workout banana
5.15pm workout
6.15pm- banana, 10mins later 50g prot shake
7pm- baked potato tuna/steak/pasta/chilli (what ever missus is cooking always good food no processed crap)
9pm-50g prot shake with 3/4 pint of milk

bed-8hrs

i was looking to follow this mon-fri and then on sat & sun have whole meal toast with the first/lunchtime meals only.

is the diet enough or shoul dit be lower?
is the cardio to much or good?

any feedback is much appreciated

there is no need to question anything that paul tells you.

you are lucky he has taken the time to write you a diet and he is incredibly knowledgable. no1 on here is going to tell you what he says is wrong because its wont be!

stick with it, the diet he gave me worked a treat

Paul's not written him a diet mate - I think he's posting the diet up for critique, having read Time Carbs by IronAddict which Paul posted up.

knowledgeable he is after reading serveral of his posts. if he has time or anyone else to correct/rip/ my diet all the better to get my results! it seems a good diet to follow. After reading more on my cardio days i would probably have a large omelette for dinner with ham to remove the carbs. so mon/wed/fri will be low carb days, tues/thurs no carb days. sat/sun hi carb days. though if told a better way to suit my workout out then i will go with the experts.

i am looking to loose around 5-7% BF to get the abs showing and i will be happy.

The main problems I can see are fruit and milk. Other than PWO I'd eliminate both when dieting.

i dont know how do-able that is to drop 5-7% in 8 weeks, im not saying its not, i just really dont know it sounds alot to loose in 8 weeks. im planning now to drop fat at begining of june and in a 8 week diet for fat loss i was thinking to aim for 3% drop so im around 12/13%

if your 185lbs now and looking to drop say 6% then, (spot dab in the mid target area)

15% of 185lbs is 27.75lbs, which mean your looking to drop 11.81lbs in 8 weeks to get to 9% bf over all.

hope you can, can anyone elaborate? is it a realistic goal?


thanks warren

TH&S

Yes it is possible. With hard work and effort.

would there be much musle loss tho with this? how are you planing to combat any mscle loss?

amurphy

warren did you read pscarbs article?

pscarb qouted 'many people are able to gain a significant amount of muscle when dieting like this"

i am not saying i will or wont loss muscle only time and trying will tell and if i have a good diet and cardio i shouln't loose any, hence the post. this diet seems a good chance to loose around 5%BF in 8 weeks thats about a 1lb a week. pscarb says in the article in my weight range i should look to loose 1.5lb a week.

invisiblekid cheers for the imput i will remove these from my diet. only reason i put the banana in was pre workout only, so would this hinder my plans greatly?

warren_1987

ill have a proper read now i was doing work before so didnt really have time, hope it works as ill give it a go in june. hopeing to hit around 185 by then.
