TLDR; IIFYM is awesome. Omar Isuf is #1.

thats it?w hat else though

I tried to do chicken and rice but didn't have the discipline. I think a lot of the weight has been muscle, but a little fat around my stomach too for the first time.
'
When i was strung out years ago I was down to 135 and now im up to 5'10" 170 Lbs. I could probably due with cutting down to 160 or 165 after i start working out more

I make that the biggest meal of the day usually with mushrooms or Brocolli in the evening.

I usually only eat one other meal earlier in the day I am bad at eating breakfast and that will usually be whatever I can get my appetite up for I have been having stomach issues lately.

I get a lot of calories throughout the day from 100% Juice not from concentrate and Gatorade as I find it easier on my stomach. Is this pretty unhealthy because of all the sugar?

i eat mostly chicken and brown rice/veggies.

i take a good multivitamin and for fats I use these:

So I'm getting a good balance and whenever im hungry I just eat more since its all real lean and healthy.
I also take meta-mucil as well to make sure im getting fiber and it fills me up a bit. the purpose of the omegas and hemp oil is that it gives
you the fat you are craving when you decide to cheat with something like pizza or burgers. it also tastes very good


edit: added spoiler cuz pics r huge

Well it's well known that american sugar is poison. if you really want juice you would be better off squeezing it yourself via a juicer/fruit but even then I don't think thats the right way to do it. The reason the sugar inside of fruit is considered okay/healthy is because there is a proportional amount of fiber inside the entire fruit that helps your body break down the sucrose so that it is used properly in your body and not converted into fat.

Ditch the gatorade and juice. all you need is water. ditch dairy as well and try to convert back to chicken instead of beef. I understand how hard it can be but as long as you can acknowledge that american sugar has very similar addictive properties on the brain like cocaine, then you can realize that we're all victims here and need to fight hard to stop consuming this poison

Trax if your intention is to gain weight then I don't see a problem but if you are trying to lose weight you are just getting more calories than you need. Also are you counting all the calories you are getting from liquids? What kind of sauces are you using ? Everything you ingest should be checked. Also I should have better specified above but generally I would recommend against any liquid calories while cutting so you can have bigger meals. When I was cutting I was eating 3-4 meals a day. And that was me being 5'8 decent amount of muscle mass from 154 to 139. So if I can cut on 3-4 meals a day anyone should be able to. My calorie content was somewhere around 1900 but I kinda forget now.

Also stake is fine actually my friends who are bodybuilders have told me they would use steak exclusively for weeks at a time during a cut. It's always going to be calories in vs calories out.

TLDR, eat less train more

Idd a tl;dr, but I'll share what I've heard by a few professional trainers who pretty much never get sick and look naturally strong.

They're saying your meals should consist of mainly fat and a lower % of proteins and carbons. Vegetables are mostly useless, and pasta/beans based meals are considerably unhealthy
The thing is you dont have to give up on good meals to be eating healthy

Well above I said that I am not a dietician or nutritionist however I would certainly not consider personal trainers as the end all be all of nutrition. They're main job is primarily on helping people get started and put them on some sort of path. I would compare the knowedge of personal trainers somewhere around the 25nl level poker reg. They know enough certainly to get by and if you factor in the grand scheme of things they know more than most people, but a good majority aren't that savvy and are somewhat indoctrinated in one way or another. Which is actually hard to avoid. When I got started I was that way and I swore to everyoNE I wasn't. That I just knew better lol. Then I really became a student of it. Anyway so take personal trainers advice with a grain of salt. I did not include ANY actual specific diet plans in this guide on purpose. I mainly took the template of if it fits your macros. I just outlined what not to do and how dieting works. High fats normal protein and low carbs is a valid approach but not for everyone again refrencing what I said above. It's called the keto diet and it makes a lot of people feel terrrrrrible. Its ok for some of the population but it takes a lot of adjusting to. One person I know of who ironically I also linked above is Jason blaha. He would do it specifically because it made him sick and reduced his appetite. I do not recommend that appoach personally. But if someone wants to do it they should be aware of the consequences possible. And vegetables are just treated as a tool for getting more food in a meal since they contain few calores and will give you extra micronutrients. Pasta and beans are certainly not bad for you it depends what kind of pasta dishes you are making though because most dishes people are familiar with carry insane amounts of calories

technically true but its also the equivalent of saying win more money lose less in poker. If people don't know how dieting works they are making things really hard for themselves. A 10 minutes guide will save a person hundreds and hundreds of hours of hunger, irritability, lack of energy and relieve a lot of heart ache. When people just don't know what they are doing. There is a lot more doubt and drastic changes they take that make them fall on their face, getting them nowhere. Will power is scarce for a lot of people so getting them on a stable and direct path is really important. I feel if the few hours i spent writing this helps 1 person then i will have helped getting them countless hours of happiness. Just trying to pay it forward because i remember how lost I was before I got help from my friend Shane. Who put me on the right track and helped me get a good foothold in the door to where I was able to research and figure out a lot of stuff on my own.

I have friend who do Slimming world, and really works for them. Its not some fad diet, its all about what you saying, organizing your meals and planning. My wife done it for long time and lost over 2 stone. But she is at a good weight and still goes but basically maintains her weight. We eat healthy meals and tasty. If you cut out all the shit sugars and junk food its well of a start. But as said, thing thats good about slimming world is a) you get to meet people weekly that motivates you b) you are helped alot to learn how to plan your eating. Its also why we do all our food shopping online. Great for organising food for the week!
