I have been lifting weights and doing cardio for quit sometime now. I lift weghts 4 times a week, I have been following ft's 12 week mass program I have also done 3 other 8 week programs. I cant say I'm not stronger or that my muscles are not much more harder to the touch, but I can't seem to loose the extra weight. Short story I weighed 180 lbs broke hip shot up to about 343lbs and I am now back down to 235 lbs. and have stalled there since a can remember. I do cardio 6 times a week with 4 of them being hiit of at least 35 mins. 2 mins max 2 mins rest for 35 min the other two days I do an hour of cardio 65-75%. I use an eliptical for cardio. I know the problem is with my diet, but I'm pretty ignorant :( when it comes to this subject. I'm 5'10" 235lbs. and 38 years old. This here is pretty much what I eat every day:
Breakfast
Slim Fast bar 120 cal.
Nature Valley Bar 140 cal.
Snack:
Banana 100 cal.
Apple 100 cal.
Lunch:
4 Slices low carb bread 160 cal.
4 oz. Turkey with 2
slices of cheese 260 cal.
Snack:
2 more pieces of fruit 200 cal.
Dinner:
Varies 700-1000 cal.
Total Calories 1780-2080
Any help is greatly appreciated specific diets are even more appreciated.
Thank You in advance:big_smile:

'I know the problem is with my diet, but I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to this subject.' :)
Just a guess but I'd say you aren't too ignorant when it comes to your diet and you know where you need to work. I don't quite understand though - you say you're trying to lose weight but you're on a mass routine. You can do both if you're really dedicated and have an iron will but it isn't easy. It's just a recommendation but I'd lose all the breakfast bars, the bananas. the 4 slices of bread for lunch. You need to look at the fat content on some of that stuff and not just calories. I haven't ever pushed supplements before but you might want to check out bb1fit's post in the supplement section about cAMP. I used it for about a month on a mini cut and I was impressed.

Try the FreeTrainers diet. It's pretty basic, but it gives you a great place to start, will teach you more about your diet and formulating your own, and you can print it out and take it with you.

The best feeling in the world is the feeling you get after a tough set of squats after you step back from the power rack and throw up all over the floor.
