[Nope]

give it 8-12 weeks at least

I don't see anything wrong with that diet, but I'm no expert.

What time do you go to bed? You have an almost 12 hour gap where you're not eating. That's not good.


And I only see about 75 grams of carbs in there. You are starving yourself. You can't possibly be expected to train and save muscle eating 75 grams of carbs a day at 180 lbs. Your body will eat away at itself within a month.

Up the carbs to at least 150 grams and make sure you're getting at least 1-1.5 grams protein/lb. body weight.

Are you sure your recomendations are suffecient for someone above 5'4"?? I mean I know they might work for you, but how about for a person whos not vertically impaired?

 

[Eat it or Beat it!!!]

yes i agree...up the carbs a bit. the idea is to have sufficient carbs to start with then every few weeks slowly remove them. u dont want to be in a slump 3 weeks into it
