Benefits Of A Consistent Diet Plan

Redditor Dexcov always thought about this diet. He just couldn’t keep on going. There would be a week when he was iron clad and he would hijack contents of the refrigerator; consistent for a month and then stumble again off the wagon. Up and down habits yielded up and down results. Then, at age 26, he was tired of giving up. Finally, he found a way to make it stick.

“Once the feeling of giving up hurts more than the draining early morning gym sessions and undying hunger for comfort food, you’re succeeding,” he wrote.

He went for small changes over a long period of time, methodically crafting his new lifestyle instead of taking a sledgehammer to his regular routine and starting from scratch. Sure, his commitment to the gym was paramount. But his primary focus was on cementing his dietary habits.

He broke it down in detail this way:

  • Breakfast:

    (1) Serving of Legion GENYSIS Greens Superfood

    • Carbs : 10g
    • Protein : 4g
    • Fat : 0.5g

    • Fat : 16g

    Lunch #1 and Lunch #2

    Please note: I eat the following meal @ 11:30am & 2:30pm.

    • Protein : 40g
    • Fat : 0g

    Daily Macros (Split into 4 meals above)

    • Protein : 173g
    • Carbs : 215g
    • Fat : 27 g

The 26 year-old built out a detailed training program with one important element: cardio. Lots of cardio. Fasted cardio. Three times a week he started his training session with 60 minutes of fasted cardio (meaning he didn’t eat before these morning workouts). He would also plug in a half hour of low intensity, steady-state cardio every day before hitting the weights. Neither mini sessions were aggressively taxing. He went to work on a Stairmaster for his fasted cardio workouts and walked on the treadmill, with moderate incline for his steady-state cardio. All good news for those of us that want to ban running from all workouts.

In all, Redditor Devcox lost just 10 pounds but completely revamped his body composition and uncovered muscles like a treasure chest buried in sand. And while his diet plan appears extensive he noted, “I still eat like a monster every so often, I drink moderately every weekend, and I think this lifestyle is only sustainable if you’re having fun with it!”

How Often Should You Work Out Your Abs?

If you really want washboard abs, you've got to put the work in every day. Right? Actually, crushing your ab routine everyday might do more harm than good.  “People have the idea that if they do an hour of ab exercises that that’s going to chisel their abs and burn fat from that area—the old spot-reduction approach,” says Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., a professor of exercise science at Quincy College in Quincy, MA. But realistically, Westcott says you should train your core no more than three days a week. While by now you know that spot-reduction is a myth, when you overtrain your abs at lower intensities, core work becomes an endurance-type activity rather than a strength- and muscle-building activity, Westcott explains.

How to Gain Weight the Healthy Way - Building Muscle, Curve Shape

An important part of fitness that’s covered much less than weight loss, is weight gain. Gaining weight takes strategy, consistency, and work.

Relationships with food can be complicated. How to eat to gain weight and muscle the healthy way Eat often - Try to eat 6 times a day; 3 meals and 3 snacks.

140-Pound Woman Joins The 1,000 Club

From nothingness, the universe was created. From a simple caterpillar, a butterfly emerges. A dorky teen grows up to be a fashion model, or a bodybuilder. The one constant in life is change, and in our  Transformation of the Week  series, AskMen is celebrating men and women who have turned their lives around through dedication, commitment and hard work. Is that you? Email us your story and pictures at askus@askmen.com and you could be featured next week! Reaching the 1,000-pound club is an impressive feat for any lifter man or woman. It is essentially a standard by which many lifters measure themselves to be “strong.” To join the club, add the total weight you can lift in a squat, bench press and deadlift. If the total is more than 1,000, you’re in. And if you’re not in, it does not mean you’re weak. In fairness, that’s a damn lot of weight. Which made it all the more impressive when Gabrielle Tucker announced on a Reddit thread that she had...
