Quick question on diet for female

[Cakalac]

I am writing a diet for my wife and she is trying to lose weight. She wants to be 125lbs. I understand the simplicity of the if you want to be 125 then eat like your 125. What do you do about protein? Do you take in protein based on that same theory? She is involved in weight training with me so she will be building muscle at the same time. She just wants to shed some fat. I want to keep her in the 1700-1850 range in calories. She will be running the ECA stack on workout days, beginning at 16mg/200mg. I will monitor her and see if we should up the ephedrine or caffeine after 1 wk based on how she feels.

So my main question is protein, should it be around 188g range based on 1.5/lb or should i leave it at the weight she is now?

Of course i'm gonna ask to see photos first so i can evaluate her pysique...

But, i would recommend a Timed Carb Diet...were she basically eats 45% fat / 55% protien and trace carbs. She gets to eat carbs after a workout to replensih the glycogen stores. have like 3days on the diet, one day off. This should help to burn fat and maintain muslce.

So your suggesting on an 1800 calorie diet for her to take in 810 calories (90g) of fat? She's 5'3 150lb. Big tits, big ass LOL really everything else is remotely proportional. But I know it will all change with diet and weights.

yes, and make sure she's gettting 10+ grams of fish oil PER DAY.

The only thing that concerns me here is energy during the day. I don't want her to be tired during the day from no carbs hardly at all. If so she may give up on me all together and quit the gym. I don't want that to happen. Then again if this is what it takes to get to the level she wants then she must suck it up.

Thanks, very informative. What has Dirk said about this or has he seen it?

I don't know what dirk thinks but the guy who wrote that seems to be a SERIOUS personal trainer with solid results from people. I'd say try the diet as outlined for a month and decide whether it's the best route for her. The hardest part will be making meals without carbs. Chicken with salad, olive oil and vinigear, and some fish oil caps....eggs and mayo....tuna and mayo....fatty steak, etc..

You got that shit right. I am building the diet right now and it is hard as hell to find stuff w/o carbs for a diet like this. I have two meals so far and the first one is the PWO shake. We train at 5:30am so our first meal usually is a shake after training. This is hard as hell. Anybody with some meal ideas w/o carbs please chime in and make this a little easier! LOL!

Thanks again Aczech, I am familiar with IA and respect him.

remember she can have carbs after working out, so make sure she doies this and enjoys them.

you can make whipped cream with splenda...a fat to add to the protien shake for a milkshake like event.

she can have nuts, but they are normally high in fat so you'll have to add ground beef or a shake with them.

green salads are okay too, like 1-2 a day.

eggs and bacon for breakfast with maybe some green peppers for an omelette

i know it's tough, but when you think about it, you'll find some stuff. And remember, you only run the diet for a few days then have a normal day of eating, hopefully that will keep the sanity.

Bump for a little more input from you bros on diet ideas. I have always been a bulker so writing these diets is not he easiest for me!

Could I get a clarification on what a trace carb is? Is it 1-4g per meal? What exactly does that mean to you? It's easy to write a diet with 1-4g per meal but anything under that is virtually impossible.

Maybe you hate the thought of buying diet books - if you want to diet, it just takes discipline. But if you want to follow a suitable diet, i think you don't want to miss this book:
The 3-Hour Diet: How Low-Carb Diets Make You Fat and Timing Makes You Thin, it's definitely a diet book that makes any sense. Plus, lots of fast food choices, and specific frozen meal suggestions, as well as recipes if you have the time.
