can anybody give me a nutrition Diet that has been tested and tried?
Try any combination of fat, protein, water, fruit and whatever tickles your fancy.
The only weight loss diet that is guaranteed to work is one where exertion exceeds calorific intake.
Ive been working out for about 2 months now, 3 times a week.Im looking for something that can help improve my body by feeding me all the right vitamins and or proteins that i need for that extra boost. So, Sometime soon Im stopping by my local GNC store and i was wondering if there are any particular supplements that you guys get that can help improve your overall results??
I suppose everyone has their own opinion but personally I think supplements are a waste… There is no evidence that they work for everyone the same way and you may end up wasting alot of time and money… There are many of us that went to small and skinny to awesome physiques just by lifting weights and eating right…
NOTHING compares to eating right, High quality proteins, fiber and Carbs.. Personally I do use 100% Whey Protein just for that added protein in the day but I get all my energy just from eating right..
A multi-vitamin once a day is always a good idea as well..
If there is a great muscle building formula out there though, I would like to hear of it as well..
I’ll start…
1) The three macronutrients are Carbohydrats, proteins, and fats.
2) Omega-3 fats are healthy fats that are found in peanut butter, fish, ect.
3) Protein is essential for muscle building/ repairing
4) You should never go under 1200 calories a day because it slows down your metabolism
5) It’s better to eat 5 small meals rather than 3 big meals.
and breakfast is most important because it jump starts your metabolism!
What are some of your nutrition secrets?! Share some facts to help others out 
1. drink plenty of water
2. warm up/cool down properly
3. Bad carbs spike blood sugar/trigger fat storage
I am 16, am 6′2 in height and weight 163 lbs… I run twice a week and go to the gym-abs training and muscle training 3 times a week… I rest on Sunday. I have recently lost alot of weight-about a stone.
Why dont my abs show through considering i have awesome pecks and arms? HELP
i believe its nutrition anyone got any advice on diet or Diet plans?
A six pack showing through has a lot to do with your body fat percentage. Take protein after working out your core, not just your abs, and do a lot of cardio.

i’ve come to realize even if i have any success in losing weight, it’s dangerous and once i start eating again, i’ll gain all the weight back.
i’ve been insecure about my weight for many years, and i told my mom about this and she told me if i ate 6 tiny meals a day, that’ll increase my metabolism hence causing me to lose weight. but she also told me exercise is the key.
the "boot camp Diet" i’ve provided above if followed correctly allows a person (mostly anorexic) to lose tremendous amount of weight in 2 months or less, depending on your goal. but, the eating 6 tiny meals a day method has also proven success, although it has slower results.
my question: if i were to eat 6 tiny meals a day, BUT follow the calorie restriction the ana boot camp diet provides, what happens? theoretically this should absolutely work. but, what are your opinions?
***and in case your curious, i plan on eating fruits and vegetables, realize these are the only things that are low in calorie and fill me up at the same time.
just in case i didn’t make myself clear, the purpose of combining the two diets was so i can speed up my metabolism AND lose weight fast at the same time.
AJ: how long did it take you to, say, lose 10lb?
It wouldn’t speed up your metabolism, but you’d lose the weight pretty rapidly. No matter how many meals you eat a day, if you stick to the ABC allotted calories, it has the same effect. Even if you go a bit over the calories for the day, you can work them off through cardio. If you’re having a hard time with it, you can try the SGD, it’s only 30 days instead of 50, gives you more calories, and you can have all the fruits/vegetables you want without counting them as calories. Good luck!

im burning out during lunch, and seeking if anyone had a better idea of a better Diet then me?

Cut the bacon. You don’t need the sat. fats. Try not to eat things out of can. Try to eat whole foods. You are not really getting the vitamins and minerals that you need. You only have 1 serving of fruit and no vegetables. Unless you are giving your body what it needs, it will never function properly.
I have seen people contend over and over again that all one has to do to get all the vitamins and minerals they need is to eat a balanced diet. Often those opinions come from supposed doctors and medical students (who receive very little education at medical schools about diet and nutrition). One has to wonder why they have such opinions.
When II have asked people to provide a practical diet plan of around 2500 calories which insures that a person will get even the minimal RDA amounts of vitamins and minerals no one has been able to do so. So here is a chance once and for all to proove that diet alone can provide even the minimal RDA amounts needed to ward off deficiency diseases.
Surely, a healthy balanced diet is an essential part of establishing and maintaining a healthy foundation - but in today’s world of processed foods that have most of the nutrition processed out and vegetables and fruits from mineral depleted soils, is it practical or even possible to get all the nutrition we need from diet alone?
Tougher by far would be providing a Diet that ensured the optimal amounts needed to prevent chronic illness and which provided ample amounts of all the other valuable nutrients such as phyto nutrients, enzymes and those trace minerals which have not had an RDA established; however, I will make it easy on the proponents of "nutriton from diet alone" and simply ask that someone merely show us the proof that we can get even the RDA amounts from diet alone.
Any takers?
Good find, Gary. The DASH diet, which was designed for people with hypertension or prehypertension, is a pretty healthy one alright. However, it falls way short of providing at least the RDA amounts of ALL the essential vitamins and minerals.
On the plus side, the diet is supposed to provide at least the RDA (and usually more) of Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Magnesium, Copper, Iron, Phosphorus, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A as well as healthy items such as inoleic acid, Alpha-linolenic acid, Total dietary fiber.
However, the minus side is that the DASH diet does not indicate that it provides the RDA of many other essential vitamins and minerals, including Biotin, Folate, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, Boron, Chromium, Iodine, Manganese, Molybdenum, Nickel, Potassium, Selenium, Vanadium, and Zinc.
In addition, the DASH diet would require someone to give up practically all of their processed foods. It also contains items that include dangerous soy, canola and possibly trans fats (margarine for example). Unless a person is very careful, the DASH diet will likely contain quite a few GMO foods and GMO’s rob nutrition as well as prevent it from being absorbed along with having a host of other problems. It also considers a cup of canned fruits or vegetables to be equal to a cup of fresh ones. It further makes the assumption that fresh fruits and vegetables have the average nutrition and do not come from severely mineral depleted soils, as can often be the case.
Still, all in all, it is good diet - provided that one figures out a way to get at least the RDA of the missing vitamins and minerals I just listed. There are only two ways to do that. Diet or supplements. Since the DASH diet has already used up 2000 calories, I would say that supplements would be a must.
An interesting feature of the DASH diet is that it contains considerably more than the RDA of most items it lists - up to twice as much in some instances. Why do you suppose it has those higher amounts when we are told that RDA alone is all we need?
OK, still waiting to see a diet plan that provides at least the RDA of ALL essential vitamins and minerals.
@ Rhianna - I do appreciate your attempt at providing a balanced diet. What you have provided is certainly less unhealthy than the vast majority eat, but I pretty much agree with onlymatch’s criticisms and I would bet that if you analyzed all of the food in your one day diet you would find many items it did not provide minimum RDA. In particular, the nutrition you assume would be present in vegetables and fruit may be much less than is estimated when you consider that as much as 85% and more of the minerals in the top 10 feet of our soils have been depleted thanks to over-farming and failure to re-mineralize the soils. In addition, regular plowing/tilling and the use of insecticides and herbicides destroy vital soil micro-organisms that are necessary to break down what minerals do remain.
Sorry, but I removed you from my contacts. Not saying it is you, but I am being stalked here and my questions and answers being reported left and right to try to silence me. Feel free to mail me
"Soil is the primary factor in nutrition because all of our food comes from the earth. Our bodies are composed literally of Mother Earth. Minerals in our bodies are directly connected to the state of our soil. If an element is missing from our soil, it will be missing from the foods we eat; hence, we will not be properly nourished. Unfortunately, that is the reality of today’s soil.
Then our food is refined and processed, which further degrades the nutritional value.
While there are still some diehards who believe you can avoid the need for supplements if you eat a "balanced diet," it is a verified fact that our livestock feeds contain nutritional supplements. Without supplemental nutrients being added to the feed, far too many animals were getting ill. What does that tell you? The grain does not possess enough nutrients to keep the livestock healthy. If our livestock can’t stay healthy by eating our modern crops, how can we?"
