Newbie wanting to get the cut lean look


Recommended Posts

A few stats would help as well - Height, weight, age, training experience/background.

Posting up a couple days worth of your typical diet would help as well. Getting lean comes down to diet far more than training, if you put up some examples of how you commonly eat now people will be able to provide some advice on areas to improve on there. It's amazing the difference a few small tweaks can make instead of having to change everything.

both of those 2 listed diets are shit. some points:

 

 

  • every meal should include some kind of protein eg lean meat (big ben pie doesnt count)
  • salad is not a meal, unless it has protein in it
  • smoothie with walnuts etc is rubbish, dont bother having it
  • mixed vege is not a snack

 

doesnt matter how many meals you have in a day, but make sure they each include some kind of protein (lean meat, egg, protein powder, whatever), some kind of carb (optional, or time it around workout) eg rice, oats, etc.. for fat, trace from meat, milk etc will be fine.

 

losing 4kg on your salad and mixed vege diet is just as pointless as gaining weight on your junk food diet

 

sample diet

 

meal 1: oats, protein powder or eggs, toast

meal 2: lean meat, vege (non starchy)

meal 3: same as meal 2

meal 4: same as meal 2

 

log in myfitnesspal or similar and make sure it is below your maintenance calories

 

 

add a post workout protein shake if you want, or dont, it wont make a difference.

no specific program for weight training, too many variables depending on your goals

isn't fubu nearly a PT? he should be able to rustle something up for you?

 

im not really qualified to tell you what to do m8, but read some journals on here and you will get an idea of what you want to do

Height         - 175cm

 

Weight        - Went from 92 KG to 87.7 in 2 weeks from eating less junk food. Now I'm 90.5 from eating junk for the past 2 weeks

 

Age             -  25

 

Experience  - Finding random weight/cardio training programs from the internet and doing them    on and off

i wouldnt be surprised if at least half the weight you lost on first diet was muscle from the lack of protien and the weight put on in second all fat,

 

remember the scales are not the best judge of if your eating is good or not as on most shit diets u will lose weight but most likely from losing muscle

Stop eating fast food processed shit. Eat 3 balanced decent meals a day, cut down your snacking. You are never going to get lean eating whoppers and KFC. myfitnesspal or a calorie counter is good, maybe not to be crazy about but just to actually start getting the idea of how much each food is calorie wise when you eat it. 

Also can the whitebread - if you do want to do bread make it wholegrain. 

Lean meats, fish, lots of veges, compound lifts at the gym mixed with some high intensity cardio and bodyweight workouts will make huge differences.
