MY Diet For Everyone that Asks

[joltan]

Dirk how come no milk? I respect your advice so thats why I wonder. If you were to have 1 cup skim milk with each meal what would you change? Also, I take L-glutamine but only 4500 mg, which is 4.5 grams, thats by going what the bottle says to take. Is this different in dosage as compared to reg glutamine?

Interesting diet...this is a bulking diet correct?

 

[DirkMoneyshot]

I don't like the terms bulking, but yeah this is a diet to increase LBM.

Understand that i don't require alot of kcals.

Glutamine is gluatimine - don't fall for the marketing crap.

Milk - I don't like because A.) I'm lactose intolerant B.) I don't feel its a good for humans.

I like the term Lean Mass diet better as well

Milk is something I never include in my diet, bulking or cutting I don't see it being a productive addition. I just supplement with Calcium.

We seem to have similar body types, as I don't require a lot of calories to gain lean mass either, staying lean is more of a challenge for me.

I've never in my life been over 12-13% bf, thats where I usually stand when bulking .. so Im the opposite, but its harder for me to gain lbm. Im 6'0 215, with a turbo metabolism, thats why I ask about the milk, It would be an easy alternative to get the extra nutrients without having to stuff down more food. What works for you at 265 pounds (i think you said 265), works for me about the same at 215 on cycle. Do you think the milk should be dropped from my diet? Also do you use pure vitargo or vitargo with creatine?

 

[DirkMoneyshot]

I use the one with creatine -

My question to you is. Do you Really have a fast metabolism or is it you are not consistent.

Typically by the time you get into your 20's - metabolism has slowed to a point where you can add size.

However the people that believe they have a fast metabolism well into their 20's A.) Don't really eat on a consistent basis - Meaning they eat like 6 meals one day and the next maybe 2 or 3. Or they have extremely hard labor jobs (which nowadays isn't to common). And the last thing, they are impatient and believe you can get up into the high 200's with a year or so. Which isn't really possible unless you want to be a fat ass. 15 lb / year of QUALITY LBM Tops. So your talking at least 3 - 4 years of being on point with diet and training.

If you don't have a problem with milk then don't drop it. Thats up to you.

Post you diet in a thread and i'll run over it with you.

dirk how would you adjust that diet if you were going to begin leaning out from a bulk? Also what do you typically drink, water, milk, etc..? I have to take in a lot of fluids to not become groggy during the day so that would impact my diet alot of what my choice of drink was.

 

[joltan]

Im only 21 dirk, and I eat very consistent. You say 15 lbs, which I consider is very good for a year, I average maybe 7-8 pounds per year. The last year with steroids I have gained about 15 pounds of lbm which is double my usual rate. And im not saying im stuck by any means or need help with my diet, just curious about the dairy part, because i respect your diet advice. Thats what helps me get the extra 500 calories I need to grow on per day, so I would like to keep it but if you guys have a legitimate reason to get rid of it then I would definitly listen. THe extra fat doesnt bother me nor my body, and is not a concern.

 

[DirkMoneyshot]

You should be okay then---If its not broke don't fix it.

Hey big D,

So looking this over again and doing some quick addition, I'm seeing only about 35-40g of fat total in here. I know you said you don't follow this to the letter but wondering if you just shoot ideally for 60 or is the rest coming from elsewhere?

I ask because I'm finding I'm struggling at times to reach 60-70 per day; I had been as high as 90 during prep but that was for a short while. Just curious.

Giddyup! I hope they come back around soon, have seen 'em twice, unbelievable both times, but I'd better not hijack this thread or DMS will unleash his wrath, lol.

Why cant all you can eat seafood buffets be part of a pre-contest diet? If it were, man I would be so flippin ripped! I love crab legs and oysters, especially when they are steamed! Fried is good but I like'em raw or steamed. Damn it, now I'm hungry. I better go eat a chicken breast now....
