If you can make it through the workout just fine and have enough energy throughout, then that's what's important for morning cardio.

1.5 lbs a week is realistic! Just keep the protein up.

^ This!! Can omit yogurt if wanted, still tastes great. and for the oats, you can grind em up in a coffee grinder first :)

O.o that's a ton of the syntha! Eat some food and cut down on the protein powder

Rep'd for the awesomness of the bump.

I would assume the cardio is up to par, but it all depends on if it's working for you. If improvements are being made then yes, if not then no. Some people need more/less than others depending on...

This. Throw a spoonful in your mouth, minimal chewing, and wash it down with water like taking pills! hahaha


But fat free mayo is an option too.

That's not a problem, as long as you're comfortable with it. If you start to do it and you begin to crash/lose energy afterwards, etc. then throw in a few carbs, but it's no biggie.

Enjoy! Reward yourself for the progress you've made! Long as you don't go overboard, you're fine.

Great book with great info, but I agree with you. There are the supps that do help, like protein.

I think the book does a great job helping you not waste your money though by understanding...

Both of these ^

Cardio helps you acheive a caloric deficit. So more cardio will help, as long as your diet is in check.

Ah yes, the old lose fat while gaining muscle question.

So here's the thing: if you want to gain, you have to eat more calories than you expend. If you want to lose, you have to eat less calories...

I think you need more calories. My guess is that's right around 1000 calories per day give or take with only about 100g protein...You're going to lose a ton of muscle with that diet.

At 5'10" 190...

Is it too late to hop in?

I weighed in today at 182.2 lbs and approx 11% BF. Want to get back down to about 8%. for summer with absolutely no muscle loss (or maybe even a little muscle gain after...

Looks like a decent cut to me! Long as you weren't consuming 4000 calories yesterday and you worked down a bit to around 2500 calories you're good! 2500 is a good number to start at your weight...

Nothing wrong with that as long as it fits into your macros! :)

Might want to switch up to some steak every now and then tho if you want.

^ This.

This one's pretty good.

Looks like a great plan to me! Revolutionize suggested HIIT, but I think that's covered with the jumprope. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

The nutrition facts appear to be the exact same to me :)

I also switched to instant after getting tired of waiting on the others to cook.
