    The Best Diet

    Well, any diet is disliked, but what have you guys found easiest and most affective so far? I kinda got sick of Atkins, and my cholestoral is probably not too god now. Anyway, what do you guys like?

    Atkins is bad shit, man. I don't care what they say, it messes up your health. Besides, athletes and martial artists need carbohydrates for energy, fat doesnt convert fast enough.

    Anyway..I wouldn't worry too much about your diet. Just eat healthily. Few portions of fruit/veg a day, something with protein like steak/fish, carbohydrate food like pasta, rice, bread etc for snacks to keep you going.
    Have lean steaks instead of burgers
    Tinned tuna/mackerel instead of chip-shop fish.
    Boiled potatoes instead of chips.

    And consume some protein shortly after a workout so your muscles can repair efficiently. Just have one of those protein shakes..it's about £10 for a tub of powder you can mix with milk/water.

    Currently I'm trying to put on weight and muscle, so my diet is probably 30-40% protein, 40% carbs and 20% fat. Ideally it should be something like 30% protein, 50-65% carbs and 10-15% fat. So I'm eating a lot of tinned fish, steaks, and the odd burger too (cuz I need the fat also). Once I'm at a higher weight I'll cut down on the fat and do more endurance work to burn off the excess fat and tone the muscles.

    Atkins died a while ago and they found that he was full of cholesterol, so either he didnt follow his own diet or its BS.

    The diet I am on right now is completly vegitarian, I recently moved so havent been able to train that much and I lost near on 10 lbs in a week from doing less then normal. Its a great diet, for 3 people we spend less then 100 bucks a week and I eat 4-5 times a day.

    i'm doing this as of now
    drinking a glass of creotine 3 times a day(for building muscle)
    working out 2 or maybe 3 different muscle groups a day
    eating 5 small meals a day
    making sure my food intake isn't alot when i do eat, so that way i can eat l8er
    it's like this
    i wake up
    i eat a bowl of cereal that has alot of protein in it
    then i work out or train(depending on what i did the day b4)
    then about 2 hours l8er(saying i woke up at about 8) i will eat a bag of trail mix as my second meal
    so now it's around 10:30
    then at about 12:30 i would eat lunch(usually salad or chicken or a chicken salad. chicken, red,sweet potatoes are good, and so is fish, stay away from white potatoes)
    then about 2 hours l8er i would eat a small bag of baby carrots for my fourth meal
    get home from school
    work out or train(depending on what i did earlier)
    the at about 6 or 7 i would eat dinner(again, something with chicken or fish)
    now as far as my workout routine goes it's like this
    mondays
    back and trapizoids
    tuesdays
    forarms, biceps, triceps
    wednsdays
    stomach and cardio(always do some cardio)
    thrusdays
    calf,hamstrings, and thighs
    fridays
    chest
    saturdays
    stomach and cardio(can't stress the cardio enough)
    now for as far as reps and things like that
    for the first seven weeks
    it's like this
    as much weight as i can, and do 10 to 12 reps. if i can oonly do ten, then i take some weight off and make sure im right at 12. then the next week it's 7- reps with added weight
    the next week it's 5-7 reps with added weight
    i keep going like that for about 3 and a half weeks then go back to being the way it was in the begining
    i have now been doing that routine for 7 weeks. it's wonderful. not saying it will work for everybody...but it works for me

    for me

    no animals, no animal products, except for the occasional rabbit that gets caught into the yeast tractor and the small insects that inevitably fly down my throat.
