what do you eat for breakfast and lunch?

Raven, those were my thoughts exactly.
This is a bodybuilders diet, it's not for endurance sport.

JENN - I like your 'diet' to shed the weight. I'm a vegetarian - is there a vegetarian version? What kind of protein shake do you drink/make??? Thanks for your post.

You are right regarding our diets. It is ideal for bodybuilding because your goal is to eliminate as much fat and sodium from your diet and body to show all definition and striation. Your carb intake is low, women loose their menstrual cycles because body fat is so low, your cranky and irritable and above all else exhausted and hungry. It is not a healthy sport but the reward is when you are on stage and you look dam good!!!! I am not competeing this year in bodybuilding because I have chosen to do duathlons this year in the northwest. The hardest thing for me in my training is to consume more carbs and calories. It messes with me mentally because it is opposite of my normal eating and calorie intake. I am a creature of habit. I eat the same things every day and a cheat on the weekend. I am learning to increase my portion sizes so I can have the energy for the amount of training I am doing. Low carb and low-cal should never be used in the same sentence when doing endurance events.

Thanks for clarifying that shawdana. Good luck with increasing the carb/calorie intake. I know it can be tough when one style of eating has been a complete focus and a way of living.

Surgtech... be careful about opting for this diet... consider it well in combination with what you are asking from your body in terms of energy output/exercise.

Whoops These are your first two posts, Shawdana. Welcome to TE and great to have you joining in our discussions!
