| OK, PLAIN AND SIMPLE: YOU HAVE TO EAT, DAMN IT!!!!!! 1. EAT 6 TO 8 SMALL PORTION MEALS DAILY 2. EAT A MEAL EVERY 2 TO 3 HOURS 3. TAKE A GOOD WHEY PROTEIN SUPPLEMENT 3 TO 4 TIMES A DAY 4. DRINK WATER THROUGHOUT THE DAY 5. AVOID SODAS, HIGH SODIUM AND/OR HIGH CARB DRINKS 6. DON'T COUNT CALORIES 7. DON'T COUNT PROTEIN GRAMS 8. EAT JUNK FOODS IN MODERATION 9. ASK ME ABOUT OTHER SUPPLEMENTS (DO NOT ASK ME ABOUT STEROIDS--I PURPOSFULLY CHOOSE TO REMAIN IGNORANT ON THAT TOPIC) START THINKING OF EATING LIKE THIS: A MEAL IS A GOOD COMBINATION OF FOODS--A REAL HOME COOKED OR RESTAURANT STYLE MEAL. IN GENERAL, WE ARE PROGRAMED TO THINK WE NEED A GOOD MEAL AT BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND DINNER. HOWEVER, MOST MEALS ARE SERVED IN PORTIONS LARGER THAN WHAT OUR BODY CAN PROCESS EFFICIENTLY IF EATEN ALL AT ONE SITTING. SO, ASSUMING YOU WILL MAKE YOURSELF EAT 3 GOOD MEALS DAILY, CUT EACH OF THOSE LARGE PORTIONED MEALS INTO HALVES. EAT ONE HALF WHEN SERVED AND THE OTHER HALF A COUPLE HOURS LATER. NOW YOU'VE JUST TURNED 3 MEALS INTO 6. HERE'S MY EATING SCHEDULE: (MOST OF MY FULL MEALS ARE SMALLER PORTIONED) 8:30AM--PROTEIN SHAKE, LARGE BOWL OF FRESH FRUIT, WATER (ALL DAY) 10:00AM--BOWL OF GRITS OR CREAM OF WHEAT, BANANA, YOGURT 12:00PM--FULL MEAL--MEAT, VEGGIES, RICE 2:30PM--COOKIES, MILK, PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH 4:30PM--FULL MEAL, MILK 7:00PM--ANOTHER FULL MEAL, MILK 9:00PM--POPCORN OR TUNA/CRACKERS, MILK 10:30PM--PEANUT BUTTER, BANANA, PROTEIN SHAKE AT FIRST, TRY GETTING 6 SMALL MEALS A DAY. YOUR BODY WILL RESPOND TO JUST THAT IF YOU'RE NOT USED TO EATING WELL AND YOU ARE WORKING OUT REGULARLY. ONCE YOUR BODY STOPS RESPONDING--YOU HIT A PLATEAU--THEN ADD ANOTHER MEAL AND ANOTHER PROTEIN SERVING, AND YOU CONTINUE TO DO THAT WITH EACH PLATEAU. I AM AT A PLATEAU NOW, SO IF I WANT TO GAIN MORE SIZE, I WILL HAVE TO SQUEEZE IN ANOTHER MEAL AND PROTEIN SERVING. |
