Could this diet possibly give me cholesterol problems? 3

Posted on November 30, 2010 by lowfatdg

8 am : 4 egg whites 1/2 cup oatmeal 2 slcies of wheat toast (no butter, eggs cooked in pam)
11 am: 1 chicken breast (marinated only in garlic and pepper) 1 cup brown rice
1 pm: 1 chicken breast (marinated only in garlic and pepper) 1 cup brown rice
4 pm: 1 chicken breast (marinated only in garlic and pepper) 1 cup brown rice
7 pm: 1 chicken breast (marinated only in garlic and pepper) 1 cup brown rice and a good sized salad with no fat vinagrette

Weight Training (different group of muscles 5 days a week/ abs 3 days a week)
I get cardio from extensive walking on the job (body fat is in the single digits)
post workout: 1 protein shake (made with skim milk, whey protein, yogurt, ice)

10pm: a couple slices of lowfat sandwhich turkey typically before bed

I have been on this diet, while lifting pretty extensively lately. I have lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks but wonder if this could give me cholesterol problems. I know its low fat but chicken and protein have a decent amount of cholesterol. Any thoughts?

Is this a REASONABLE diet plan? 5

Posted on September 25, 2010 by lowfatdg

I’m tired of seeing people with diet plans that are unreasonable and very low amounts of (mostly unhealthy) foods. I have worked all morning trying to put this together and if there is anything wrong with it I would love to know so I can look into it.

These are foods that would be eaten throughout the day in no particular order:

1 pkg oatmeal (flavored until I can find a good way to make from plain that tastes good)
1/4 cup Fiber One cereal (dry)
low-fat yogurt (6 oz container)
1/3 cup sunflower seeds (high in good fats / low in saturated fats)
1/2 tomato (raw)
1 cup celery (raw)
1 cup broccoli (raw)
3-4 baby carrots (raw)
1 cup cucumber slices (raw with peels)
1/2 green bell pepper (raw)
2 egg whites (hard boiled eggs / remove yolks)
1 cup of milk (non-fat)
1/2 cup low fat sour cream (used to make dip for veggies)
1 tbsp peanut butter (usually put on celery)
1 children’s chewable vitamin

Then one sensible small meal during the day.
Examples:
French toast w/ whole wheat bread (2 slices), no syrup
Tuna or other type of sandwich on whole wheat bread
Pasta (made with whole grain noodles) maybe 1 cup
Home made stew no potatoes about 1 cup
Lg salad (cheese, bacon, meat, veggies) with fat free dressing

I am a 32 year old female, I am 5’6" and weigh almost 180 lbs. I am trying to loose weight and trying to get a better grasp on my health. I do no have any fruit and try to eliminate complex carbs because my body acts as if I’m diabetic if I eat these types of food.

I am also trying to add a minimum of 20 minutes (walking) on a treadmill everyday.
The list of foods come out to 1120 calories and 52 grams of fat and 131 grams of carbs.
adinasway, I agree with the oatmeal thing, but the rest of the information is not very good. I used a program and the first list of things are all within the range for needed vitamins and such each day. The amount of protein is actually at the upper end of my requirements. As far as carbs on the items for my meals they are whole wheat and the body needs good carbs (in moderation) everyday or else there are negative consequences in the long run. I did forget to mention that the yogurt is sugar free.

Is this a healthy diet plan that will help me lose weight? 1

Posted on August 19, 2010 by lowfatdg

Can someone help with my diet plan and let me know if this is a good diet plan for losing weight?
Below is an example of what I would eat in a day throughout the week:

Breakfast: 1 egg, 2 egg whites, 1 slice of 100% whole wheat bread, low fat laughing cow cheese as a spread, cantaloupe

Snack: Cantalope, mango

Lunch: 6" veggie sub on whole wheat with no mayo

Snack: Sweet potato, cantalope

Dinner: Chicken breast cooked in hibachi sauce (low cal and fat), broccoli, glass of red wine

This all adds up to about 1200 calories, 19g of fat, 150 carbs, 72g of sugar (from the fruit), 70g of protein, and 22g of fiber.

For exercise I plan on doing 5 days a week of 40 min. cardio, 50 lunches, and 50 crunches.

On the weekends I tend to eat a little more and I drink…

I am 5’5 and weigh 140. My body fat % is at 30 and I want to be at 120 pounds and 18% body fat. Will my plan work?

Thank you for your help!

I just tried a low carb diet. Bad idea. I lost more muscle than fat after just 6 days on it. Yes, I was? 2

Posted on July 07, 2010 by lowfatdg

lifting heavy weights and doing cardio. I have concluded that low carb diets are the worst, as I always suspected. By the way I was having 3 whey protein shakes w/peanut butter daily (in water). Eggs & egg whites in the morning, & 2 meals consisting of either chicken, meat, or fish w/ walnuts or a small green salad. The total amount of carbs was about 25-30grams a day. I was reducing about 500 calories a day.
My question: What now? Any advice on a diet plan that will burn fat without burning muscle?
