iam fat and want to cut up and see my abs

[jonnyboy1234]

iam 5-10 195 pounds and i am fat. my stomach and my obliques are my main problem . The thing is i dont really care about losing muscle i just want to see my abs. Now i was wondering i have a job and all but i dont want to spend that much money on the diet mainly because iam on a low budget . is there a way i can spend the least amount of money and still see results. i probably want to spend about 70$ a week on food . can somebody give me a sample diet on what to eat , thanks

[stick_it]

plz read the stickies and try to learn something
then post a diet and others will critique
money won't help much
self discipline will

i probably want to spend about 70$ a week on food .

Welcome Jonny. $70 dollars a week is VERY doable. I know I actually save a ton of money because of my diet. My primary foods are chicken breast, brown rice, bananas, water, whey protein, peanut butter, cottage cheese and healthy cereal. These are all very cheap. Make sure you buy the chicken in bulk from places like Sam's club of Cost Co.

As far as the diet goes, well.. I could give you a diet but you learn SO much more in trying to get one going yourself. Read a couple threads here and all the stickys. This should get you started. When you are done, post here and you should get some great feedback.
Good luck!

shike what kind of chicken should i buy , and can you tell me if your bulking or cutting and how many meals a day, thanks

[jonnyboy1234]

also could i use the vegetables that are in the packages in the store anything perticular, thanks

[such a loser yo]

spinach, broccolli, sweet potatoes, oats, brown rice, milk, chicken, tuna, london broil, eggs, peanut butter.

that's pretty much all you need. not saying that it's the perfect diet, but if you stick to those things, you can get ripped on a low budget.

could someone give me a sample cutting diet

[NicktheRoofer]

you can do alot with 70$ a week, especially a well-balanced cutting diet. Also, maybe what you mean is you do not care about putting on more muscle mass. saying decreasing your muscle mass and still wanting to see your ABs just doesnt compute.. your ABs are muscles too. Never lose weight in the expense of muscle mass, things could get ugly. Especially since maintaining your muscle mass is the #1 fat burner when trying to shed fat, you dont want to lose this advantage. hope i helped

could some one give me a sample diet so i know what iam looking at
