Getting back at it

stephaniebutler2014

so I've tried doing just calorie counting and I've tried just the fighter diet both with going to the gym but now I'm planning to do it all and see if that gets me anywhere!

Did they not get you anywhere?

Calorie counting on its own will work if done properly.
Calorie counting with going to the gym will work even better id done properly.

The best regime in the world will not work if followed incorrectly.

Along with calories, have you tried counting MACROS, it's used in bodybuilding, weightlifting, etc. That might be something you like.

i did, all the sites referred me to buying the program. what i could gather is that it is similar to paleo, which is low carb, but you can have some carbs in the morning.

Sample Diet:
Meal 1: Wheat bran, Whole flax cooked to Porridge, added vanilla Vp2, Cinnamon, Truvia
Meal 2: Egg whites, CLA & Fish oil
Meal 3: Egg whites
Meal 4: Pre workout shake with BCAA’s, Glutamine & Beta-alanine
Meal 5: Vp2 shake with BCAA’s, Glutamine, NAC
Meal 6: Veggies, Chicken or Egg whites or Pink salmon, some Shirataki noodles & mustard
Meal 7: Chocolate protein powder with cocoa powder and coconut shreds plus stevia to sweeten it

Yes it's is very similar to that diet plan but gradually increase to that intensity but counting MACROS no I've not even heard of it but will definitely be looking into it. As of counting calories before yes it worked but not enough to keep me engaged and with college and work I would forget to log in every meal. But I'm extremely determined bc I'm at my heaviest weight 138lbs at 4'9 I do not look over weight really but I am. My goal is 120lbs lean with muscle.
