I have recently replaced most carb rich foods with
green vegetables like green beans, broccoli, zucchini
ect, but I still have 30g of oats for breakfast, my diet looks a bit like
this:
1. 6 egg whites
30g oats (in water)
1 tbsp flax or olive oil
2 cups of water
2. Small amounts of Tuna,Salmon or Chicken
W/ Mixed vegetables (including avacodo)
3. same as meal #2
4. same as meal #2
5. Beef,Chicken,Fish or Egg Whites
W/Mixed Vegetables
6. Low Carb Protein Shake or caesin protein before bed
is this like a low carb diet?
could I get leaner from this since I have cut out all the rice and milk I was consuming before?
or are vegetables STILL not allowed?

How long do you plan on being on this diet? I don't think it's something you should do for too long.

Lumina is right. I did a diet sorta like that and felt really sick. I only did it for one week and I didn't have the strength to lift very much. You may want to add some carbs in with meal #3 or 4. It will still keep your carbs low, but give you a little more energy. Good luck on your diet.

You'll probably need a carb up day at least once a week. Also it'll still be a good idea to eat some carbs straight after work out. You'll still loose weight don't worry, but you'll recover better (and FEEL better!!)
Yes, this is a cetogenic or very low carb diet.
Try telling us a little bit more about yourself.

My story is that about 1 year ago I starved myself to lose weight, I know
that is the worst way to lose weight I now know this THE WORST WAY to lose weight.
Ive learnt my lesson and its been a hard one. I dropped from 100+kg being an obese slob, then
losing 35kg and looking anorexic, and more like a living skeleton. yes, I
lost some of the fat that I had, but I lost a heap of muscle which means I wrecked any chance of a good metabolism and kept all most of the fat and lose skin in my lower body which now means I
have kind of a leaner upper body, with an obese looking legs and butt and flabby skin on my whole
body although my abs are visable. this confuses the hell out of me. and all I want now is to get
lean and toned properly and get rid of the thick layer of fat covering my legs.
I have noticed more muscle tone and vascularity starting to show as my muscle mass increases all over so in some ways I think I may be on the right track with my diet and decreasing the carbs.
so this is not a question of what kind of training I should do but more as to what kind of diet I should be on? I have been trying to take a higher protein and low gi carb
approach with healthy amounts of EFA's and no carbs at night but still I was consuming 200+
grams of carbs during the day.
on the other hand I dont want to beusing protein for energy, that would be catabolic but also if you have too much protein it can convert to fat right?
Right now I am weighing about 75kg, with a high bodyfat level possibly in the 20's but I am not sure. before I was taking in 150-200g of protein a day and 150-200g of low gi
carbs a day sometimes even less, and the total fat calories I am unsure about
lately I have been training hard on about 100g or less per day but havent increased my fat
calories as yet.
as for my training it goes kinda like this
Monday-morning cardio 25 mins on empty stomach (just started doing the cardio 3 weeks ago)
Chest and Abs in the afternoon
Tuesday-Back + Biceps
Wednesday-morning cardio 25 mins on empty stomach- afternoon rest
Thursday-Shoulders, Triceps + Abs
Friday- morning cardio 25 mins on empty stomach-Legs in the afternoon
Saturday-Helping my friend train
Sunday-Rest or morning cardio 25 mins on empty stomach (depending if training schedule has been
altered earlier in the week or if bored)
sorry about this long post...
feel free to ask any other questions
thanks =)
totally confused
Mike
