You're on the right track!!! Everything looks good.
You've actually written out your diet plan which is the biggest part of succeeding a goal. Your diet looks good. You have a nice mix of carbs, proteins, and fats... plus you're eating at the right intervels. Make sure to eat a lot of green veggies (broccoli, celery, leafy stuff) and a variety of fruits (bananas, apples, pomegranate, cranberrys, kiwi, grapefruits) Keep up your positive attitude. Losing weight is hard... and you'll eventually start to plateau. That's when you know it's time to change your routine up a bit. |

I guess it's possible to consume to many fruits but when I posted to eat more fruits i didn't necessarily mean eat all those i suggest in one sitting lol. You could have a banana as a snack in the morning and eat another piece of fruit later in the afternoon ... there's nothing wrong with that. Plateau is when you reach a state of steadiness... no change or progress. |

Do you lift in addition to your cardio? Just wondering because if preserving muscle is anywhere near the top of your list then you are probably eating way too little, especially with a fat burner. I'm currently cutting to lose some BF (I'm currrently 170lbs at 13%bf), and I am cutting at 2100 cals per day (but I weigh 65lbs less than you though!!!). I would say to up your cals, and consider having a refeed every week or so where you can bump up your carb intake drastically and overall cals to around maintenance for the day (keep protein and fat relatively low for that day) to help trick your body and help raise your leptin levels. Do you have any idea what your BMR is (how many cals you need to maintain your current weight)? I would calculate that and then subtract 500 cals from that. Of course you can take this with a grain of salt as I am not a professional, but this is what works for me when I look to cut fat, but preserve as much lean mass as possible. Just think that after you drop the weight you don't want to be one of those skinny fat people who just looked to make the scale move at any cost.

I dropped down to 200lbs from 250lbs. I did a 2 month creatine + whey protein cycle. I gained 40+lbs of muscle. Get dedicated to that shit or whey protein will literally fucking screw you. Don't mess with creatine until you drop all the weight you want. Then to get yoked you can start. Best of luck dude!!!

You're starving yourself. I guarantee your body rejects 1500 calories daily, and you don't go anywhere. It's the classic eat less, exercise more recipe that never works. The people that lose weight long term actually EAT. You won't lose weight by being malnourished. No resistance training? Only cardio?
Why coffee? Not the best choice in my opinion because it create a massive stress response for hours in the body. Never will a good diet plan include a cup of coffee nor lipo 6. I'm in SoCal if you want professional dietary and fitness/wellness info. |

If he isn't adding any carbs to it (which he should post workout) and he mixes it with water then 120 cals is right for one scoop for most whey protein brands.
Not really... milk, yes, all of its carbs are sugar, but most whey proteins have 1 or 2g of sugar max unless you go with a brand that pushes the broscience of needing half a pound of malto or dextrose in their pwo blend. I'm assuming that he plans to mix it with water, but he should definitely add some carbs to his pwo shake/meal.

Lipo 6 and caffeine are going to cause massive amounts of internal stress. You want your BODY to burn fat NOT lipo 6. What's going to happen when you stop taking lipo 6? Why not try cocaine? That helps with weight loss too. A lot of "fitness trainers" are full of shit. I know; I work with them. Fitness trainers are often times clueless about diet. They are "certified" to design fitness programs not diets. You're strategy isn't good in my opinion. My guess is you will have yo-yo weight gain, and your previous experience will repeat itself (lose weight, gain it back). |

It means tapering out or bottoming out, kinda like where I'm at now. It's easy to lose weight when you first start off, but it gets harder later on.
Back in Sept. 1st 2008, I was 210 lbs at around 30% body fat. 5'10'' is my height for reference. As of last Saturday, I'm 164 lbs at around 15% body fat. I used to melt off 3-4 lbs a week easily, until I hit the 170 mark. It became a lb a week, if that. I don't keep count of calories like the OP. I just do the obvious..cut out alcohol, fast food, fried food. I think of it as a change of lifestyle, so it's not a diet for me. I still have ice cream or a piece of cake. Normal daily intake is around 1,500 calories. I also don't take supplement pills or shakes, just not comfortable with it. I used to do Muay Thai until a recent injury to the instep of my left foot so I'm out of commission for a couple of months. I now go to the gym 6-7 days a week, 2 hours per session. I usually run 6 miles each session, that accounts for an hour, and the other hour includes lifting and shadow boxing. I never starve myself as well. As stated in another thread I made, I just want to get down to the low 10% body fat. I don't care about weight because now that I'm lifting, it may go up since muscle mass weighs more than fat. |

You need to go to a nutritionist for a proper diet consultation IMO. I have a friend of mine who was relatively small...5'8'', always around 145 lbs. He wanted to bulk up so he started lifting like crazy and take protein drinks and stuff. He got up to be around 180 lbs within a couple of months. The dude was built, looks like smaller version of LL Cool J or 50 Cent, lol. He got injured at work and couldn't visit the gym for a while, and he lost all that muscle fast and went down to 145 lbs. I have no idea on the supplement stuff so I can't say anything about it, just posting up what happened to my friend. |

... you need to up your cals, and realize that sometimes eating less is working against you. It really depends on the brand... I have a few that taste good in water, which is usually how I like to take them because I like to eat most of my calories.

Michael (BoostedBMW) - what do you think of eating fruits like watermelon and orange after working out. I usually work out at around 10-11PM for 2 hours, so it's early in the morning when I get home. I usually get a bit hungry so I eat up slices of watermelon, strawberry, and oranges. I go to sleep at around 3AM or so and wake up at 10-11AM, if that matters. (Yeah, my sleeping pattern is all weird now, lol). |

Get a 24oz shaker container. Half scoop then add 12oz water then finish off with other half scoop. Shake vigorously and it's not bad at all. |
