Why is it that cookie cutter weight programs are decried yet individual diet approaches aren't as closely examined. Yes there are certain principles that work but IMHO you gotta figure out what works for you...it may be quite different to what you expect

I agree as well... I increased my protien intake to about 1.5ish g per lbs of body fat and only so realy leaning and tone in my legs and arms a and my mid section never changed. But i talke to my nutirtion coach and she told me the extra is being stored and isnt really helpping me much and to cut back to about 150 total grams and eat dark color leafy vegis... fruits. try to get most of my carbs from vegis and fruits. and load complex carbs after a intense cardio workout. So far this is working alot better. everyones bodys different and if you use the same basic principles, just tweak them a little bit to make them work for you body everything will set in place
Milk and bananas yes, but oranges are low glycemic. Since I like to get as many nutrients as I can I do keep fruits in my diet but I always stick with the lower glycemic ones, and usually only in the mornings."milk, bananas, and oranges are still fairly high in fast carbs"
"and all fruits and rice etc"
"stick to proteins and green veges and you can't go wrong. Eating like this will keep insulin levels low."
"and cycle your carbs"
Cycling your carbs is great. I get a phenomenal hormone response from carbing up post workout and throughout the day, on high intensity days. With a much smaller amount of simple carbs only post workout on tempo days. The amount depends on my volume and intensity of workout. I was a football player and I lost 40lbs and 9% bodyfat without losing any strength ,and of course gained speed from an increase in relative strength, incorporating this cycled type diet into my program.
I take back what I said with respect to fruits, especially to apples
I read this whole thread, very interesting. Nobody hinted to caffiene or coffee in terms of fat loss. A few people have recommended the use of coffee/caffiene when trying to lose weight, what are people's thoughts regarding that? The one thing that pouts me off, is that if you wanted to supplemnet caffiene before racing, you get less of a benefit as your body obviously adapts to it.
You might find yourself sprinting better with less carbs and thus less water in your system to boot - the lighter bodyweight helps too
I feel a lot snappier when I dryer
you can live on meat and veges, you don't really need starchy carbs. You may get "withdrawl" symptons at first, but the body adapts after a while
im going over this thread rehashing it and i feel like shit on low carbs, although i do load up every 5 days like mentioned. Man im finding that im really carbs sensitive.
im trying to understand cycling the carbs for athletes i get the feeling im missing something i keep my carbs low and eat every 5 days i eat fruits like half a banana a few oranges, and strawberries being the only ones which i eat with my cottage cheese. I rarely drink milk i prob drank it once in 3 months so far.
