Heres the article he wrote and I was wondering what you guys thought of it. Im looking to get into something concrete. I need a plan to follow to the dot or I cheat:


6:00 AM
Meal 1
T his meal can have more fat because you have all day to burn it off.

5 egg-white omelet - You can throw one whole egg in for flavor (Use a little cheese and pepper for taste) if you want add some ground turkey breast, or vegetables).

2 slices of wheat toast or small multi grain bagel (I put low fat peanut butter and sugar free jelly). The more grains in your bread the better -- Nine Grain bread is a great toast in this case. Avoid all white breads, pasta, flour etc.

Work out! - DO cardio in the AM.

9:00 AM
Meal 2: Post-Workout
Eat carbs now after the workout -- it helps with insulin transport and recovery.

Skim milk with banana or oatmeal with raisins in it (you could even go with small portions of both if you want)

NO Fat Yogurt (you can also have a piece of fruit if you have oatmeal.)

12:00 Noon
Meal 3

Ground Turkey Breast with a little cheese (NO mayo -- you can have mustard, A1 sauce, low fast salad dressing) in a whole-wheat wrap. I often have 2 of these! (If you like peppers or similar vegetables, you can throw them in since they add no fat)

Baked Lays chips (regular)

Broccoli (light butter you can use the spray if you truly want to avoid all fat)

Piece of fruit

3:00PM
Meal 4

1 can of Tuna fish or egg whites here again with a multi-grain, whole-wheat bagel / bread.
However, since most people are at work and have to have food that is easy, you can also settle for another wrap, yogurt, and cold carrots.

5:00 workout - Lift or calisthenics in the early evening

Post-Workout Meal #5

I recommend a protein shake right after workout like a myoplex just be sure the one you get is low in fat. If you don't want to drink supplement drinks, have a can of tuna with little to no mayo, or a piece of chicken on top of a salad and a few wheat crackers and pickles mixed in.

Dinner! Again you can have GOOD carbs here to give you energy back, but avoid fat since you will go to bed in the next few hours. The last thing you want is fat before you go to bed because then it is simply going to be stored.

Try the Barilla Multigrain pasta. It is THE pasta to eat since it has 10 grams of protein in a serving and almost no fat. I would have this with turkey breast in it, or lean steak, fish, or chicken breast with a sauce of your choice, just avoid fat sauces. This way, you are getting good post-workout carbs and protein. Use wheat bread and just use garlic on it so you have healthy garlic bread.

Now your day is done -- good eating mixed with 1-2 workouts. The workouts can be as simple as walking 20-30 minutes or as tough as triathlon training. It is up to you and your fitness level and goals. The diet is great for any person trying to lose body fat.
