I tried one that was so freakin boring: chicken, oatmeal, egg whites and an apple. I just tried tweaking a diet of unlimited protien and veggies (no starchies) and it is working well. I have started to introduce some carbs back in b/c I know it is not feasible to go forver without. Can anyone share a diet that works for them i the long run. I know diets are so individual, but maybe some interesting ideas!!? Thanks

After a while you learn how to spice up the stuff so it is not so boring....at least not all the time. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

You could try carb cycling, or you could up your cardio a little. Forcing your body to give up fat is harder the leaner you get, especially for women. My pre-contest diet was pretty dull, about 10 times a day I ate 3 oz chicken, 1/4 cup rice and 1 cup of broccoli or other green veggies. 2 gallons of water a day. It also depends if you want to do a carb cycle, or a ketogenic diet. There are lots of options. before you switch, though, take some polaroids in a posing suit/bikini. Stick with your current diet, and take photos again in 2-3 weeks - any small change visible? Your diet is still working if there is any change, don't switch until you plateau. Good luck! -------------- Challenge + Consistency = Results
