my diet plan

taitouwah — Mon, 25 Dec 2006 15:03:03 +0800

this is what i have found on the net and i decided to follow this diet plan , the idea of it is to reduce the intake of carbohydrate to loss fat .

" A ketogenic diet is useful for rapid fat loss. They take a bit of willpower but work very well to get to fairly low fat levels in a short time. Expect losses of 2-3 lbs. per week. More is possible but anything more than 2 lbs. per week increases risk of muscle loss. The first week, you may lose 5 or more lbs. but most of this will be water loss so start counting your 2 lbs. a week after the first week and try to maintain that level.

Here are several variations of a ketogenic diet:

The fastest way to lose fat is to cut carbs out completely for one to three (or more) weeks depending on how much you have to lose. After that, you eat carbs for a week and then go back to zero carbs, alternating until you get to the fat level you want. You can lose several pounds a week on this diet but it's rather hard to stick to as you can just eat protein and fats. The upside is that you can eat virtually as much as you want. If you can make it through the first week it's not so bad. This is known as a ketogenic diet. This is the diet Andy, in my photo gallery got into his condition with, and he did NO cardio during that time.

A variation of this is the CKD, or Cyclic Ketogenic Diet. With this, you go 5 days without carbs, and 2 days with. This one is better for bodybuilders as the carb days add new life to the workouts, which is maintained almost until the next carb days. The first week is the worst here and after the first carb up you should feel great for the next 3-4 days. This method works well but not quite as fast as the "pure" ketogenic diet.

Another variation is the TKD, or Targeted Ketogenic Diet. This allows for one carb meal on training days, usually taken at least a couple of hours before the workout. With this, you get most of the benefits of a ketogenic diet and the carbs give energy for a better workout. The workout theoretically uses up the carbs eaten allowing the diet to still work.

So, you ask, what can I eat on this diet? Any kind of meat (steak, chicken, seafood, fish, or other type--even hamburgers with no bun, fat in the meat is not a concern), eggs, some dairy products (don't overdo these), nuts for snacks, diet soda if you need an imitation sugar fix, lots of water and small amounts of dark green vegetables. A multivitamin is also highly recommended, as well as extra vitamin C, E, and B-complex.

What can't I eat? Any kind of carbohydrate, including rice, pasta, bread, beans, corn, cereals, sugar or anything containing sugar, fruits (contains sugar).
Of course you can eat all of these on the carb up days.

How does it work? In the absence of carbohydrates, the body will use partially burned fat molecules called "ketones" for energy. When your body is burning primarily ketones, it is said to be in a state of ketosis, thus the name of the diet."
