Well, what I was boiling down to was this. Stop worrying about your food. I*t is obvious that you are not eating enough. Concentrate on your training and eat everytime your body says “hey mother fucker, I’m hungry” and I guarentee you will gain some muscles , lose some weight and feel good about yourself.
I think instead of eating less, you should eat alot more and you will lose weight. What? Does that make sense? sure it does. Here’s why. When you go on these ridiculous diets, your body goes into starvation mode or even a state of ketosis if you are not eating at all. This puts the body in panic mode, it starts storing fat while you are at a calorie deficit. It eats away at your muscles for energy.
I love fat people who starve themselves and sit around all day with no exercise and wonder why they are fat when they eat once a day, some 2000-2500 calorie meal too. i know the type. My dad. He’s 6’ 275lbs and eats once a day with a light lunch. He comes home from work and overeats his starving body by eating a 2000 type calorie meal.
My advice was not to just lift hard. Its to eat hard. That in turn will produce better workouts, make the body happy. And in the end make you happy.
If you eat 4-5 decent meals a day, your body will thank you. Eat everytime your hungry, but don’t overeat either… your body doesnt like that either. Think of your body as a machine. Keep the gas in the tank so you can drive all day and run out of gas at the end of the day.
Drive on a low tank and the machine breaks down. Overfill the tank and you got a mess.
Rule#1 to not being fat and being muscular. Eat when you’re hungry and don’t overeat.
Rule #2 to not being fat and being muscular. Exercise when you have the most energy and don’t overexercise. Your CNS doesn’t like that either.
Listen to your body, not the nutritionist and the trainers. Your body knows what it wants better than anyone else.
In short (point #2) EAT!
BUILD MUSCLE was point #1
Put them together and you will look damn good.
The hardgainers won’t EAT but they EXERCISE!
The fatboys will either OVEREAT and not EXERCISE or UNDEREAT and EXERCISE!
BOTH need the same recipe… a normal diet and intense training.
Bottom line EAT & EXERCISE… believe it or not, your body actually enjoys both of those things.
