Good info on the diabetese. I had never heard of that before. I thought you got type II from being fat and eating too many simple carbs. I didn't know that worked in reverse.

MMA trainging. Hmm well I know grappling is one of the hardest workouts I've done. Demands every muscle in the body to work... I could only imagine adding stand up + wieghts + cardio in one session. Well I've done that, but in totally separate time slots with meals and rest in between.

Thanks bro. My Dr was very vocal about the possibility that my pancreas may react to the sudden drop in sugar intake and monitored that really closely with a twice a day test kit. Luckily enough my blood sugar level was, is remains perfect.

My MMA training is awesome. Start with warmups, then I box with with a bit of Mauy Thai and dirty boxing (up close, lots of grappling/body work) mixed in for 2 - 3 minute rounds with a guy on the pads constantly moving, swinging and changing levels, then it's Thai push-ups, storks, crunches, finishing off with 3 minutes of grappling. Followed by 10 minutes of puking lol.

Took me 7 days to bounce back for dropping carbs. Key is to overload with protein right from the start, egg based shakes, egg whites, lean meats, fish, chicken etc...

What is a standard meal for you?

Thanks George. I'm on a custom high protein, low fat, low sodium, almost 0 carb diet designed by a nutritionist assigned by my Dr.

Standard breakfast would be 4 egg whites mixed with one regular egg in scramble or omelette form, maybe some sauted mushrooms and green onion tops, some low lactose Allegra cheese and a piece of pea-meal bacon.

Lunch I'll make wraps with lettuce instead of bread or tortilla's with either plak smoked salmon with dijon, bbq steak, chicken breast...all lean meats with little fat but grilling really helps that out.

Dinner I'll steam a half of a head of broccoli and cauliflower, with a bbq steak, fish or chicken/turkey breast.

No sugar, alcohol, flour, wheat, gluton, yeast, fruit, fuit juice, any vegetable that grows below the ground like carrots or potatoes and allot more than I can list.

Good deal mang. Good thing you stayed healthy. When I worked out I always had a high protein intake, but I really suffered with stamina when I would try to make a cut and loose the carbs. Either I would end up frustrated at my gym results, or end up craving carbs so bad that my cheat day ended up being a whole months worth of cheating. I guess I was more obsessed with strength though and that's why I didn't stick with it.

Pretty intense man. If I had to pick two diciplines to study, it would be mauy thai and bjj. In reality there is no gyms here with either dicipline nor do I have the time. If I could find a bjj gym I would find the time though. I'd like take formal classes with a gi.

What intake levels are you at? 1.5-2 grams per lb of total weight or lean body mass?

Pure dicipline there buddy. Losing 90lbs shows you've stuck to that diet too. Here fish cost too much, but I could just about eat steamed brocalli and grilled chicken for every meal. Only if the chicken is cooked on the grill though. Otherwise it gets old. You've proven that its 90/10 diet/exercise to loose the weight though.


When you get to your target are you gonna share some before/after shots?

[GeorgeStorm]

Sounds like quite a pricey diet!
Agreed, when you've reached your goal need before/after shots!
Kudos for the dedication man, so good to hear it's working so well

1.7g per per pound tbw. I lost 50 lbs before I started working out. Before and after pics for sure.

@ GS, I buy cheap cuts and season/marinade them into greatness.

I gotta ask, why three meals a day? Why not 5-7 smaller ones? Obviously this method works. I just thought 5+ small meals was the way to go these days. That's all I've heard/read since I've given a shit about fitness.

3 main meals, in between I drink Isopure (insanely expensive) and egg protein shakes. I don't call them meals.

I think the whole theory on 6+ meals per days jump starting the metabolism can work for most people but for some people its just teaching them to eat all freekin day!

qft

My guess its more about curbing snack attacks. If you eat a "meal" every 2 hours your awake you are less likely to down a bag a chips or 2.

Its all about calories in vs calories out imo. Eat fewer calories then you burn you lose weight.

What I cant stand is how alot of these diet publications and even like yahoo etc just harp on how meat is bad for you shut your face and get off the 100 calorie cookie packs fags rofl
