good advice Dirk!
You can play around some with your carb levels depending on progress. Keep the complex sources earlier in the day, such as old fashioned oatmeal, brown rice, sweet potatoes/yams, beans/legumes and tons of fiberous veggies througout the day. Post workout make SURE that you are including a whey/dextrose mix for recovery! To adjust carbs perhaps on non training days, you'll cut out that shake which lowers your overall carb intake.
...Dont neglect your EFA's either.. these are essential in every diet, bulking or cutting. flax oil, olive oil, fatty fish(or fishoil caps), hemp oil, nuts/seeds in moderation. just to note, no fats in your post workout shake or post workout meal.. you dont want to slow the rate of absorption of nutrients into your muscle cells that much.
...LOTS of water, over 1 gallon everyday. an addtional supplement of ephedrine and caffeine can help give you a boost, as well as drinking plenty of green tea.
.. as for cardio, begin with 4 days per week.. altering between interval style for 20 minutes or so.. and the other being a more moderated paced session 30+ minutes.
..finally, if your prone to stress make sure that your getting ENOUGH sleep everynite. this is crucial to ward of stress and aid in recovery.
