 Through with Atkins!!


Yes I know, everyone advised me against Atkins. Anyone that knows me can telll you I bounce from diet to diet... however, I wont be bouncing in the keto direction ever again!! My muscles seem a lot softer and smaller. My strength has suffered and Im back at square one...

SO I come to the diet gurus for some advice. I still want to keep a low carb diet because I feel happier with the stabilized bs, and less bloated. I was thinking under 100g/day. If I weigh 140, how many g fat do I need? and how much protein do you recommend?

btw, my goal is to get down to 18% bf for now. Im at 22% according to the bf test at the gym (which I do not trust) and in the past I have had a hard time getting results from the typical bb diet. (high protein, low fat) this is why I turned to atkins. SILLY ME!!

THans in advance'

Hey Prana. Well, we'll just make this really easy cuz it doesn't have to be difficult. You'll want to take in a minimum of 140 grams of protein per day divided amongst your six meals. That shouldn't be too difficult for you. I know that you will tend to eat the leaner choices in protein such as chicken, tuna, egg whites and salmon so we'll definitely want to supplement with a couple tablespoons of Udo's Oil in there which will give you 30g of good fat. I wouldn't suggest keeping your carbs too low hun. If you want to be cautious with how many carbs your taking in, eat your complex carbs earlier in the day. (eg oatmeal with your eggs in the morning, and maybe a potato or rice in the afternoon)
You may also want to keep a serving of oats in your preworkout meal as well. Then for the rest of the day, stick to salads and grilled veggies.(except your post workout shake, use dextrose in that)

HAHA, thanks guys, best move I've made yet

Ok this is the meal plan I was thinking, please fill free to fill in the blanks

the break down so far is: (according to Fitday.com)
cals - 1179
Fat - 25
Carbs - 106
Protein - 127

meal 1 - 1 scoop whey mixed with 1 cup skim milk

meal 2 - I packet instant oatmeal (do have traditional kind if recommended) and 6 eggwhites (preworkout)

meal 3 - 1 scoop whey (or 1.5)?? and 30g dextrose (post workout)

meal 4 - I chicken breast with 1 cup veggies (no fat in this meal, 1 hr post workout shake)

meal 5 - NEED SOMETHING HERE FOR PROTEIN> only have 127g's

meal 6 - 1C milk with 1 tbsp flax

I've noticed that milk is controversal, esp. if I'm trying to cut right? I will change if there is good reason

Thanks for the help guys, I really need it

some people find milk hard to digest and some find it is responsible for water retention
you can change it for cottage cheese or if you're really bad with dairy then swap it for soy milk if u must have milk
