Ive been doing this diet for about a month and 2 weeks now and i started off from 11.5 stone and now I'm 10.8 stone. Recently ive lost some strength in my workouts and its annoyed me so much and im beginning to get tired of dieting. I do wanna be ripped and its like a month away for summer here in the UK. Ive recently started to do alot more cardio but my cardio is only walking home from gym which is around 45 minutes and on sundays i play football. Is there any way to speed up the process?

A friends birthday is coming up too and cant wait for it, were having indian, im gonna have one cheat meal and snacks for that evening.

Protein is unnecessarily high and I'd increase fats to ~75g.

Also, why consume so much whey protein when you are over your needs by 100g?

[tden99]

I would personally switch the whey for some good food too. it will be much easier to diet when you actually eat your food instead of consuming a bunch of whey and being hungry.

[GING3R]

Diets not too too bad. Instead of the 4 scoops of Whey each day which isn't necessary, replace it with a good fatty protein source such as lean ground beef or salmon.

Instead of walking home from the gym, try throwing in some moderate HIIT, ie 1 min run, 1 min walk. Or just run the entire way home if you can handle it.

You paid someone to give you that diet plan? Here pay me and I'll tell you to eat the same 4 boring things over and over in small quantities every day.

I'd hate life too if I was 19 eating less then a 10 year old girl.

Protein is pretty high, I'd replace about 80-100g of protein with carbs instead, it will definitely help with strength if you're killing glasses of water every chance you get.

You don't have to eat 5-6 meals regardless of what Josef said and it doesn't have to be "clean", just focus on hitting those macros anyway you can.

If you're still losing weight over 6 weeks, then time is what is going to help you. Just keep with it man, 6 weeks isn't much in the grand scheme of things.

[jnycs]

you... paid... for this? damn, you can find that garbage out on google.

If you want a real tip on how to make your cut more successful:
-Ditch the "trainer"
-Read up on the stickies that the top of the thread, for free.
-Use saved up money on more important things.

I thought keeping it clean would benefit me in a much better way than spending money on a subway and getting pointless cal from there. Everyone suggest i should ditch the protein shake twice a day to once...and ill do that. Sometimes i just crave a steak or a sexy subway..any fast food but always restrict. Im so new to all of this and i dont know how much calories are in my meals individually so i can substitute it for takeaway or something.

i say make the room and eat that subway! those avocado subs look the sexy!

I eat steak at least once a week.
I eat subway whenever I want.

I suggest you read the stickies like I mentioned earlier OP. Educate yourself for a healthier lifestyle.

Holy crap in a hat.. just wow. I feel bad for you man.. The advice given by people above is good... your protein is really high.. and fats could easily go 75-80G a day. Plus carbs are carbs.. you should focus on protein/fat goals then carbs.. as everyone handles them differently, and in your case, 158G seems low IMO. Some people need more, some people need less, just depends on how YOU feel. And how much weight you losing weekly? If you are trying to cut, figure out your TDEE... then eat a 10-20% deficit..(in most cases it's 250-500 cals less a day) by consuming mostly whole and minimally processed foods. I still eat ice cream, I still eat chocolate, cakes, pizza, etc.. and I've lost over 32 pounds in less than 4 months while only dropping 10 pounds on my bench. Read the stickies, quit throwing away your money, and eat food instead of drinking it (unless of course you like shakes and protein powder, I use it in waffles and protein fluffs). Good luck man!! And remember, MARATHON.. not a SPRINT!
