| QUOTE (DR X @ Sep 13 2005, 08:21 PM) | It’s about time we had a decent full length post on cutting…
Let’s get a few things straight…
1. All of the insights I’m about to provide are not person-specific. What that means is that it is a general guideline, not a bible.
2. I truly do believe that bodybuilding is 80% diet. You can lift your ass off daily, and still look horrible if you aren’t eating right.
3. You are what you eat. It’s just that simple.
2. Carbs- You are **** right, carbs. In a strict cutting diet the majority of your carbs should come in the form of PWO nutrition, and the remainder in breakfast. Fibrous veggies are a staple, but keep in mind that they don’t count towards intake, as they have negligible impacts on blood sugar levels. (Exceptions: Carrots, Peas) All high glycemic carbs outside of PWO should be avoided. The best sources of low GI carbs can be found in oatmeal and brown rice, as well as yams.

Re read this again.

If you train in the morning then have your pre shake and post shake and then breakfast in that order, no big deal. It's easily adjustable

hey, great post. I try to always keep my diet clean, and have been progressing. I came down from around 18% BF to 12% from 205 to now 189 lbs. I had the greatest success when i started eating whole foods and completely cut out my shakes. The prob is that now i get extremely sore after my workouts because it is impossible for me to have 6 whole food meals prepared for the day, so im now down to around 4 meals and my protein is slacking. I know that shakes and dairy make your skin thick because of the food allergies and inability to digest dairy; now im scared to take protein shakes. What do you think i should do about food to keep my protein up and keep eating the 6 meals a day. Cooking fish and chicken is and eggwhites is getting way too expensive, considering i try to do mostly organic food while trying to cut down. Im thinking about trying an egg protein powder w no dairy. Whats your input on this whole deal?

There are plenty of lactose free protein products. Check out Beverly's Muscle Provider and Primaforce's Substance WPI off the top of my head. Nothing wrong with going with supplements if on the go. I and many others use Bev's MP all the way until showtime, so that could be a good MRP. It has egg in it too. Check it out. Chocolate is the bomb!

post workout shake question... 40-60 grams whey and double that in malto/ dextrose in a 50/50 combo? thats like somewhere between 600-700 calories after your workout is it supposed to be that high? i guess thats a stupid question cuz i can probably make an educated guess as to why... but if your eating like 2200 calories a day thats like a third of your daily caloric intake in one meal should I chug that shit or sip it over like an hour or two or three I got my dextrose and maltodextrin in the mail today... i hope i dont vomit... i havent eaten over 500 calories in any one meal for like a month now

5. The separation of Carbs and Fats- This is a hotly debated issue, but again, in my opinion, an important aspect nonetheless. Remember that it is often when you eat items and with what you eat them that is more important than what you are eating. A mouthful, I know, but stay with me. Remember that when you take in certain carbs, you can spike your insulin levels. If you are taking in fats when your insulin has been spiked, you are allowing the basic laws of physiology to act out, and you allow for a higher propensity for fat storage. Separation is key. The sample diet will give a good example of how to separate them.

So does that mean I should stop putting olive oil in my PWO shake thats got 35g dex and 35g malto in it?
I dont know what else to do about the foaming, since I blend it.

Yes, put it in your pre shake.

Okay guys.....need some help here. I'm 6'5 and i weigh 255. I know cardio is a must here, been working out solidly 4 days a week with 3 days of cardio totalling about 5-6 hours of cardio and 6-7 hours of lifting, legs twice a week focussing on squats and a sumo deadlift day, chest and arms day where i focus on diff types of curls and bench with enough workouts to max me out for the day, and a neck and shoulders day focussing on military press and rows with shrugs along with enough to max me out once again. My problem is that i need to cut about 30 lbs but keep the muscle and if possible gain some. I don't have the greatest knees so running is kind of questionable even though i do a couple times a week. I understand that i need to step up in cardio before i should proceed to heavy lifting. My diet consists of mostly noodles or high fiber/ protein cereal in the morning with skim milk, protein shake around noon, workout around 430, shake immediately after, then maybe a peanut butter half sandwich on whole wheat at 7ish. I really need some suggestions on how to cut this weight fast (like in 1 1/2-2 months max). Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
