The free diet plan below switches
the carbohydrates from complex carbs (potatoes, rice, yams) earlier
in the day to more fibrous carbs (broccoli, vegetables) for the
later meals. The reason for this is that the more fibrous
carbohydrates digest at slower rate. The diet below can be
used for both males and females.
Note: The program
below is for informational purposes only. Always consult with
your doctor before trying any diet or exercise program.
* When you start your diet
program it would be a wise investment to buy a book that counts
different types of food calories, carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
A book that I have been using over the past 10 years is called Food
Counts. You can get the latest copy of Food Counts by clicking here
How to calculate your protein
intake:
- Eat about 1 gram of protein per 1
pound of lean body weight (those trying to gain muscle will want
to eat 1 to 1.5 grams of protein per lean body weight).
- A 258 pound male at 30% body fat
has a lean body weight around 180 pounds (258 pounds -(258*.30) =
180 pounds).
- Multiply the lean body weight by
1, or 1.5 if you are trying to gain muscle, to calculate your
protein.
Divide your protein intake by 6
meals to calculate how much protein you need to eat for each meal.
The person in our example would eat 30
grams of protein per meal (180/6 = 30).
