Background
I was gross. I could grab a wad of fat roll when I bent over and I had dimples on my legs when I sat down with shorts on. Plus I was "just skinny" and that doesnt look good after 30....it translates into saggy butt and wussy arms with a jiggle. I tried the anorexia thing and it just made my ass lower and my hip bones stick out.
Endorphins and the way guys get out of my way when I purposely sit near them.......I guess its empowering to be physically strong

My Workout Program
On a daily basis, I eat pretty clean. I am trying to up my calories at present, but I never checked them. I don’t go by calories. I go but fat,carbs and protein. 150 grams of protein (at least)
6 meals a day approx.
1. 1/2 cup to 1 cup of oatmeal with 2 splenda and a couple boiled eggs sans yolk (ok sometimes I eat the damn yolk)
2.Protein shake (double)and a handful of almonds.(sometimes a banana or an apple)
3. boiled chicken breast and veggie like broccoli,spinach or green beans (frozen) I vary this meal with a can of tuna mixed with salad greens ( I will use some dressing I am not a saint). yesterday I had one of those mini whole wheat bagels and made a sandwich with my tuna salad
4. protein shake again with more eggs or a little cottage cheese
5. dinner was chicken and salad (or beef and veggies or even fish) If I needed carbs I eat whole wheat pasta or brown rice) .
6. Protein shake or cottage cheese. I sometimes eat a little leftovers. Salad is a good snack or raw veggies.
This is what I came up with in the way of diet. its plain, its boring, but you can vary it some after a few weeks. Just think of plain whole foods, high in protein,moderate to low fats and low carbs. I would do low carbs (under 100 grams for perhaps 4 days in a row, drop to one day of no carbs and the day after go high carbs of at least 300 grams. I am a big fan of not allowing myself to stagnante on any one thing. You can have most any veggie, you can have a potato sometime. I use I cant believe its not butter spray, adobe seasoning rather than table salt to cook. You can boil chicken or bake it and it comes packaged frozen.
I usually cooked all my food on sundays and put them in single or double serving tupperware containers and stacked them in my freezer. I would just grab one when I needed it. It could be a chicken breast 1/2 cup of brown rice and a scoop (ladle) of broccoli.
Also, ground turkey works as well as chicken. Either buy the frozen patties of cook the big 3 lb pack at once. It tastes great and you can mix the boring brown rice in it. Also seasoning food is fine, though lay low on salt.
If you are super hungry and 2 hours has gone by, eat a boiled egg or have a shake with one scoop. It wont kill you.
Cheat days are good, just don't be a serious piggy. After some time, you will find your old food disgusting,greasy,salty and mushy..........trust me

My 6 year anniversary is coming April 11
Posted in Nutrition : Feb 07, 2012 1:09pmHello
My 6 year anniversary is coming . I get alot of " how did you get like that"? questions and lots of times its from someone who came back to the gym after being gone a couple years. Frankly, I used to go 5 times a week on AVERAGE, so even if I went only 300 times in one year, thats 300 more workouts than the person who is asking who took a year off.
I have my slacker moments of course, This is the first winter I have taken alot of time off from the gym in at least 2 years. I went off my diet, although its not like I was eating junk everyday, but I al

Ok, Im a little lost with the new format. I couldnt find out how to see my comments at first and when I try to add friends, its so slow and I cant respond to thw comments there.

...At home workout & diet plans...why some are useless

I get asked often for diet and workout plans, but here is the problem with it. There are many, many factors that must be taken into consideration such as :
1. Your bodyfat % & Your Body Mass Index "BMI": this tells me how much of you is made up of "fat" and how much of you is muscle. This will tell me if you are 50 lbs overweight from being % percent bodyfat (not possible, but
