Steak and eggs diet - replace steak with something else?

[gbullock32]

That's a load of crap.

Meant in terms of nutrition*

Not training, should specify that i suppose.

No offense, but if you cannot/did not simply compose a diet of foods you do have access to and enjoy that fit your personal macro/micro/calorie needs than you are likely still classed a beginner; just being honest.

I would HIGHLY enjoy eating just steak and eggs, guess I'm a beginner

If only steak and eggs... would be an issue, dem micros and fiber. Would love steak and eggs everyday myself too, great meal right there, do have eggs almost daily though.

Just not the same without a beer to go with it though.

As already mentioned about getting micros through supps.

Supplements are not a replacement.

Supplements are not a replacement.

no chit they're supplementing our diet. Such as the steak and egg diet.

Would you need them if you are a normal diet, no. On this one you will. You can either have a lack of then or supplement them. I'd rather supplement them IF I were to so his diet.

I think that is the issue with my posts, I keep drifting to the thought of it not being realistic so I disregard it.

Within the context than yes.

It will never die, because the steak and eggs make it strong.

Hehe none taken - I weigh almost twice as much as you, so I guess beginners can do a thing or two right as well. Besides, you obviously missed the part where I told you all how my current diet is like..

Steak and eggs is old school, but it doesn't make it stupid. Gironda used it as his primary diet for cutting down for shows, as did a lot of the guys who worked out at his gym. Guys named Arnold, Frank, Franco, and Lou for starters. It's easy to follow and effective, can't go wrong with that. Worked pretty well for Gironda.



Anyone who claims to get every micronutrient they need from diet alone is either lying or ignorant of what they're actually eating. On the rare occasion they can, they seem like a terribly boring person to me.

Roll with it, OP, and keep us posted. Make sure if you're not going with steak you still get in your fats, so throw a lot of butter on your meats.

They sure can...hell, even a blind squirrel will find a nut every now and again.
Doesn't mean the squirrel knows what he is doing, just means he got lucky.

I'd suggest you stop making weak insults based on personal stats, just because you may weigh twice as much that doesn't mean you have a respectable physique, and physique is in no way an indication of knowledge.

Don't be ignorant.

[Ripper908]

Steak and eggs diet is great

I did it before and just added lots of brocoli, spinach, and kale for fiber and micros

Turns it into a typical keto diet really

Yes, do try to read humor as insults when ever you can. Self irony is, as we all know, a bad thing.

@ Jarhead - I'll try to remember to check in later on. Can't guarantee anything though.

Probably not, since you been here since 2012 and have 15 post

Been doing powerlifting and bodybuilding for the last ~15 years and now I've decided to lose some fat. Not up for doing a lot of cardio though I still do it a couple of times a week; I run a business so I don't have all the time in the world when it comes to dieting and cardio. Came across the steak and eggs diet and it seems simple enough - I love eggs, but steaks are *really* expensive in my country. Would it be ok to replace the steaks with something else, or would that result in a completely different diet? Pork is kinda cheap here, so is fish and chicken. Right off the bat I can't see the major difference in replacing the steak with for example pork, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

You can use ground beef if you can't afford steak. This diet is actually great for losing fat because instead of it burning carbs it starts to burn body fat and decreases your estrogen levels and increases your testosterone.

I don't see the benefit in ONLY eating steak and eggs.

That being said, I eat bacon and eggs every day. I get 3 slices of bacon in a pan, and then fry up 2-3 eggs in the pan using the bacon grease.

When I do this I'm full for a long time, and my libido spikes.
