60 DoD 2017 Week 2 - Diet

addictedtoyourface · 2017-04-10T18:58:15+00:00

We talked about this some last week, but I'm going to do IF. This week I will eat one meal a day ( so roughly an 18 hr fast) and next week I'm going to try the 44 hour fast. Whichever works best is the one I will be doing the rest of the 60 days.

The BIG change I need is to drink less. I've already had some success with the Men of March thing. This go around I'm going to allow myself to drink on weekends and most of the time I'm going to avoid that.

I'm posting to make it public. I started a new diet to drop weight and reduce this gorilla stomach I built. I'm doing a carb cycling diet.

I've already lost some weight. But it's HIT I need to add to make it work as intended. Diet and fitness are closely related so for DOD it's to remain dedicated to my diet while increasing intensity of the workout

This is a huge one for me for a number of reaons:

I've never tracked my eating or paid attention to my diet. I'm one of those assholes who just doesn't gain weight and until finding MRP wasn't motivated to pay attention to my diet. So keto, paleo, etc are all relatively new to me.
Food is a big frame test for me. Wife is extremely fickle when it comes to food. "I know we have food to cook but I'm craving xyz..." etc. Holding myself to a stricter diet will surely require strengthening my frame in these situations.
I don't know where I want to be. I'm 27, 5'10, 148. Have a fitbit smart scale that says BF is ~23%. I was actually thinking about this just yesterday after lifting and started doing some research into muscular 5'10 builds. I'm thinking I eventually want to be at least 160 based on what I read.

Here's what I'm thinking for my goals:

Step 1: Pick a target weight/BF% for the end of DoD by Wednesday. I'm thinking 155 and 20% but I need to research what's reasonable for weight gain and BF loss. Would appreciate suggestions here.

Step 2: Pick a diet structure (keto/paleo/iifym) by Friday.

Step 3: Determine macro needs and build a food plan on Saturday.

Step 5: Hit the grocery store and start putting this into action on Sunday.

Step 6: Maintain daily macros and calorie counts with MFP. Log daily weight and BF by weighing myself every morning.

Step 7: Hold frame! Try to inspire wife to develop healthier eating habits as well.

Last week did the Week 1 of the Warrior Diet to kick off body re-composition. For the remainder of the 60 DoD I am going to do a combination of leangains.com style Intermittent Fasting and calorie counting while keeping an eye on macros. Will do a full-on “cheat day” on the weekends, but will rigorously limit it to a single weekend day and not let it devolve into “cheat weekends” as I have in the past. Going to limit caffeine intake to early mornings, and go with water or water + electrolytes during the rest of the day. For the first couple of weeks I will allow myself Coke Zero at McDs with refills while I read early morning, but will cut back to a single bottle at work for a week, and then taper back off caffeine completely within the next 4 weeks.

I totally agree with u/[deleted] that the simpler the approach the better. In addition to getting off caffeine again (making it a special occasion drug) I will just focus on eating whole foods, veggies, simply cooked proteins, complex carbs and limiting simple carbs, and eliminating most sugar except for special occasions or cheat day.

Diet is stupid simple. Simply don't eat cake , stupid.

IF with a 16/8 split for 60 DoD. Credit to u/abdada for his inputs on the webz.

Love me some DOD.

Started with a diet coach last week, and I'm committing to really follow their protocol for the next 6 months.

My wife has started pre-complaining about it ("What if you can't eat what we're eating? It's going to screw everything up..." "No problem. If I have to eat something different I'll just make it myself. I won't ask you to cook two meals." "Yeah, but it'll take up the kitchen...you'll need to weigh your food...BLAH BLAH BLAH")

So, I not only get a chance to experiment with my diet and potentially be in the best shape of my life, I get to practice frame, too! :-)

New habits is tough for me as my current habits have been both very good and effective for the last 8-9 months (45lbs lost). However, weight loss has stalled the last couple of weeks so I was already making changes prior to this post.

I haven't readjusted my TDEE in over 3 months and I'm sure that is the main culprit behind my stall. It's very likely I have been eating at or near maintenance the last few weeks as my TDEE has dropped along with my weight.

Reducing calories in by 300/day for the next two weeks while keeping protein at current levels. Will reevaluate after two weeks and drop further if needed.

So no new habits, only new goals. Reduce daily caloric intake to 2100cals from 2400cals.

I've been having some good results with eat all your meals in 8 hours (so I guess it's 16h if in other words) I will strictly follow this mon-thu, post workout drink being an exception. I don't even get very hungry like this and except for lunch I don't eat big plates.

All in all, I'm pretty close with the diet of what I want to do with it right now, (close to none snacks, candy, fastfood, low carbohydrates, more protein) Losing weight about a pound a week unless I've been cheating.

I'll throw in - no nightcaps during mon-thu (been nightcapping 1-2 drinks a night for 3 years, this is the tough one) -no bread or dessert with meals - I'll increase my water consumption and will fill a 2 qt bottle of water every morning and make sure its empty at the end of the day

I will reassess in a month to make sure I will keep losing weight at least a pound a week. Goal is to lose my gut before June, probably around 10 pounds to lose. If I'm not over halfway there in a month I will cal count aggressively and go on a diet until goal. (very difficult to organize in my job but they work wonders indeed)

black_jack_davy · 2017-04-10T20:25:14+00:00

Diet.
- Track diet. Daily throughout these sixty days. My weekly reward for compliance is an 1893 if I ace it (cheat day—you didn't think this was a dirty bulk?). So far, so good.
- Eat 3,000+ calories per day. Eat BW in grams of protein. Oh man has this been hard to hit. I'm pooping three times a day.
- Fast 1x/wk (hard while bulking but means I have to step it up). Did it Sunday, hit PR on DL this morning.
Fitness followup. All good, keeping up with my goals.

Building_The_Life · 2017-04-11T00:49:37+00:00

DIET; cutting down to 1600 calorie daily. 120 grams of protein and rest of my calories as complex carbs. Easy enough by cutting out processed food snacks. Going for a 32 inch waist.

Edit; Okay off track on my first day!! Back on the calorie restriction today. 1600 calories is easy to maintain and is plenty to eat, so there are no excuses. In the past I have done 1000 calorie cuts... that's hard for more than 2 weeks for me. Even 1,000 calories of lean natural foods is still a lot to eat.

What helps me is to eat a lot of salad.. .like 5 or 6 cups of salad.

notdeadyet2050 · 2017-04-11T02:52:37+00:00

I installed a food tracker on my phone. In addition to tracking my diet, I'm going to continue fasting 2 days a week. Tonight I cleaned out the pantry - nothing unhealthy in the house.

Building_The_Life · 2017-04-11T04:15:52+00:00

TL;DR - Caloric deficit to cut under 10% BF by the end of May.

I've been adding muscle over the past 9 months following 5x5 and then 3x5. I'm just under 14% body fat and want to get under 10% in the next 7 weeks. So I'll be eating at my RMR.

Macros will be 75g C, 165g P, 125g F for total calories of 2,085/day. I'll have a water-only fast from ~6pm to ~7am nightly. Carbs will be low glycemic and mostly in the morning. Foods will be mostly keto-friendly. No beer.

rejonkulous · 2017-04-11T20:44:28+00:00

a little late to the party but better late than never. I have been doing keto for about a year and a half. super lazy keto the last 6 months (no weight gain but no losses either). my goal is not only to start strict keto again but to adhere to my dr advice and add more dark greens. this means I need to stop filling my carbs with bs food that I like. also going IF but not sure of my breakdown yet. keeping with my vitiams and my pre and post workout suppliments. as well as limiting my coffee intake. I will also be reading all of goals listed here and maybe taking some of them on as well.

JudgeDoom69 · 2017-04-11T14:36:14+00:00

I'm going to buy an decent body fat caliper to replace the inconsistent cheap plastic piece of shit I've been using.

I'm going to continue to log my food intake on MFP, but work to stay within my macro goals. More protein, less carbs.

I'm going to prepare my lunches on Sunday night, cooking some lean meats and fresh produce.

WisdomTangoFoxtrot · 2017-04-11T16:30:57+00:00

My goal is to read up on all I need to know on weight/BF maintenance. I went balls deep learning how to eat right and lose weight. But I want to know what the magic is to keep it within a range. The sort of sustainable things that allow me to lean effectively...I want to know what that looks like at end state.

I already started doing IF and primal. Added in multi, ZMA, and fishoil. You know...secondary goal is to be able to get these items more effectively from my diet. That's what I want. I'm not a fan of downing a fistful of pills each morning.

jigglydee · 2017-04-11T22:49:56+00:00

Ok, so I've been fairly good with my calorie intake for my cut. I've had a fair few cheat meals amd days, which I'm not overly fussed about. But since I've got two weeks remaining on my cut, I'll clean that up too. My goal for till 30th is to eat exceptionally clean with one cheat meal per week, no more. I will increase my calorie intake by 100 in May and stay there for that month, while I allow my self one cheat day per week, the following month allowing an increase by another 100 calories per day.

40mullet · 2017-04-12T07:01:21+00:00

I do like all fit people do: eat several small meals a day consisting whole foods, count my calories and exercise. I am experienced enough to know this is only realistic way to lose weight. I quess Im 12% BF right now, my goal is to lose 6 lbs fat and it will take me 2 months, because I dont want to lose my hair and erection in the process.

Edit: 2700 kcal a day, 0,5g fat and 1g protein for 1 lbs lean body mass, rest carbs (no sugar)

Thisismyusername1100 · 2017-04-12T17:34:24+00:00

My diet fucking sucked for the last month. Ate too much, too often, and ended up not logging an entire week.

It's time to man up. Make a meal plan. Stick to it. Eat 1g/lb of protein. Cut wayyy back on the filler carbs.

Araphoren · 2017-04-15T18:55:04+00:00

I've always been fit and wiry (within 142-147 lbs from 16 to 24 years old, 5'9", always active in sports) and have always eaten nutritious food, so my goals now are to actually eat enough to gain muscle. My biggest problem has been skipping breakfast because of time and habit, I've skipped about it about 98% of the time in college so far (currently getting Masters).

My goal is to eat 3 or 4 substantial meals a day instead of just 2, add fruit and nuts every day, and increase to 2 scoops of protein powder after my trip to the gym. I've been doing this for 2 weeks already, and in that time I've gone from 147 lbs to 150.5 while staying at sub-10% body fat.

I just have to continue making the time to eat as much as I know I need to, which is always more than my hunger asks for. This includes waking up early enough to cook breakfast before my commute, and doing meal prep on weekends with a slow cooker.

capn_barnacles · 2017-04-17T15:51:10+00:00

I will get back into the routine of tracking (use to use Lose It app, have gotten off track), and keep it under 2000 Cals per day. I also will continue to cut back on drinking.

thunderbeyond · 2017-04-18T01:56:04+00:00

Late to the party, but I've been more thoughtful about the food I'm eating. Generally eat well, but now resisting the easy way out - so instead of the takeaway pizza I'll cook up some pasta and veg instead. It's now the time to turn that into the standard (not just for 60 days).
