Hi,

Before i take the plunge i just wanted to ask a few questions to find out what the diet side of this is like and whether all the exercises are planned for you or whether its more a teach you the foundation then you go off and develiop on your own.

I have read burn the fat, feed your muscle. I try to follow the high protein, low fat low-mod carb type of diet, i generally eat up to 5 small meals a day, inc 1-2 protein drinks. I am a veggie though and find it extremely difficult to get the protein i need, i started forcing myself to eat fish (ugh) hate the taste, always have, but really stuck what to do protein wise.

I do have a fair amount to lose still but i have been doing HIIT and MRT training for a few months now and generally workout 5-6 times a week.

If anyone could offer advice before i start and give me an idea of what to expect, i would be really grateful. Thanks :)

Ally

    Hi, you can check your library for the book and check it out and see it is for you before you buy. The book gives you a workout plan for 6 months. They do explain everything for diet and workouts. The diet is high on protein, but if you want to build muscle and get stronger you have to get a lot of protein. They recommend you lift as heavy as you can, doing compound lifts,3 times a week and do light cardio in between. Check the library and see for your self.

    you dont have to follow the diet. i dont follow the diet because 1) i dont want to be told what to eat and 2) i have gluten allergies and their plan involves quite a bit of gluten.

    i'd say my diet is probably lower on the carbs because of my allergies but i eat a fair amount of protein and honestly i'm not even paying attention to fat.
