Thread: Low Carb Diet HELP

can anyone help me with a low carb high protein diet
im struggling because all the examples involve 5-6 meals and i just cannot fit that in around work.

can anyone give me an example of what to eat around what times.

im up at 6 ish for cardio , at work for 8 , break at 9 , dinner break at 12 , finish at 4 and go to gym then after gym i can fit meals in when ever.

Im afraid you have to eat 5-6 small meals a day, prepare them in advance and take them with you to work
check out the palumbo diet, it works wonders, all of the guys on here rate it highly

i cnt because i work in a factory thats GMP so white overalls hairnets beard masks and no food allowed in so it wouldnt be possible during the day unless i had the bulk of those 5-6 meals in the afternoon.
would this be possible?

thanks for the link very helpful

MTOM,

You dont have to eat 5 to 6 meals a day - it is just preferred. The principle being that eating smaller portions more often prevents your blood sugar levels from changing too much, keeps your metabolism burning at a higher rate, and smaller portions reduce the chances of your body storing any surplus calories. The saying goes 'Little and often' or 'Graising'. There is no hard and fast rule saying you must eat 6 meals a day or you will fail - so dont feel disheartened.

If your up at 6am to do cardio, im sure you will make your training programme work. I would try doing this - it may not feel natural to start with though but certainly adopts the 'little and often policy'. It does however require a little preparation the night before. NUMERONO has a great article on how iportant it is to pre prep food (http://fitforum.co.uk/entry.php?808-...ding-muscle...)

Anyway, this is a possible suggestion for you to adopt.

06.00am - 0.5 Scoops of Whey Protein (To prevent muscle canabolism after a night of fasting)
CV
06.45 - 2 Scoops Whey
Shower, Change
07.15 - Breakfast (http://fitforum.co.uk/showthread.php...=6633#post6633)
07.50 - Work Car Park - Slow release protein (like what you would take before bed - PHD Pharma Whey 6hr)
08.00 - Work
16.00 - Pre Workout Meal (Chicken, Veg)
16.30 - Gym
18.00 - Post work out shake
19.30 - Evening Meal
22.00 - Snack (cottage cheese etc)

I would just treat being at work as a time of forced fasting (like when you sleep) - So I would combat this with a slow release protein powder and then when I finsih work, I would eat a fast acting protein immediately.

I hope this is of some help.

You could squeeze 3 meals in at work, one on the way to work, one at 9 break another at dinner 12. That's 3 meals. I've started cooking chicken at night. In the morning I cut a breast in half it fits perfect folded out in a sandwich. Good quick meal/snack

thanks
yer that was very helpful thats what i was struggling with working out how to structure the meals.
what quantity of meat and fish would you recommend for meals ? i was thinking 200-300g
also whats the best nuts to go for?

"what quantity of meat and fish would you recommend for meals ? i was thinking 200-300g"
Just go for 1-2 chicken breasts, portion size dosent really matter remember to keep the carbs low
If your gonna give the palumbo diet a go i would opt for almonds, cashews, walnuts, pecans etc, he also recommends fiber tabs because theres litraly no fiber in his diet

will just a handful of nuts suffice because i cant stand them

Yes thats what i do
Do you like any nuts? you could try things like pumpkin seeds etc, but im not sure of any others.
Almonds are my favourite
The diet really works, stick to it
