HiyaI've been searching long and for for the ultimate diet and after reading about CBL everthing inside me says that this will work. It makes sense. Love the scienctific explanation behind it as I always need to know WHY I want to do a certain thing.... anyway... I want to make sure I get it spot on... no mistakes...This is the start of day 2 out of 10. Both me and my boyfriend is on it. He's 220 pounds (Goal is to Keep the weight and loose the fat) and Im 165 pounds (Aiming for a lean 143 pounds... Competition time Im aiming for 127-130) As a typical Bodybuilder Im used to the standard 40/40/20 split and 6 meals a day, so this is a huge change and I need reassurance that Im on the right track. Using the meal plan in the book but finding the protein intake really low... Im used to eating up to 200g Protein aday and Im a GIRL! (And please dont say well that explains your weight... because it doesnt... theres more to it (like too much carbs and not doing weights for a while). 200g Protein is what I ate for Competition prep time...anyway.... I would appreciate some help on this:Is the following food OK for prep phase and is it OK to hit the weights during this phase? What would the effect be and how do we deal with it?What should our evening meal consist of during this phase. I know we cant load up but we will be starving at this point, its a massive change in our diet routine and I feel I might be sending him off with too much Protein, compared to your recommendations, but he is quite active through the day.... and becomes a crumpy sod if he doesnt get enough food LOL)I sent my boyfriend out to work 630am with a strong cup of coffee with 2 tbs heavy cream, 1/2 scoop whey blend (all we have atm) and BCAA.Food for the day (he's a joiner): a small portion of pork, a large piece of steak which can be split into 2 meals, lettuce, tomatoes and peppers, 2 tbs olive oil, and a paleo bar (32gFat, 6g Protein and carbs). Lettuce and meat will prob be eaten at 3 different times. 10am, 1pm and 5 pm.He gets home at 6pm and we'll hit the weights at 7pm.
Hi Freya (love the name!)Neither of you guys should be feeling deprived on this protocol. You need to realize that fat is meant to comprise the majority of calories during the pre-training portion of your day (and all throughout the prep phase).Your sample day's meals look OK to me, but (again) it's all about the fat. Eating 200g of protein is actually counterproductive on this diet for 99% of people, because that's far more protein than you can actually use for growth/repair/etc, and the excess will be converted to glucose and (basically) cause this diet to fail.Fat. Eat more of it. Butter, bacon, avocado... you get the idea.
Hi Naomi 🙂Thank you so much for the feedback. I'll adjust it as adviced. Old habits can be difficult to break sometimes, but I think this will be an easy one 😉 Thanx again
