This is not in the typical context of the word that most folks think of, but a lifestyle change in your eating habits. Most fad type diets are really unrealistic, as a "diet" is only as good for as long as it is sustainable. You cannot stay on these diets forever, and when you go back to normal eating you will just endure the dreaded rebound effect for instance of carb intolerance. That being said, check out in the specific diet area the bodybuiders grocery list. Choose your foods from there. Choose in your case mainly from the lean proteins and fibrous carb areas. Your calorie amount has to be below your maintenance level to achieve your goals. Add your new exercise program and you will see results. Best of luck to you and welcome to FT! Great to have you with us. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
