I'm starting my diet monday. Tonight I'm going to my local Glens to pickup some stuff. What do you recommend? Im going on a high protein low fat diet. I'm 5'11 and weight 185 pounds. Just trying to tone up more in the gym.
 
No sugar

I've hardly had anything with sugar in it for a month and I feel much better than I did 2 months ago. I'm not overweight, I'm about 155 and 5'11.

Good luck!

WORD
 
no sodas....only water
lots of chicken, turkey, fish (not fried fish), protein shakes
lots of fruits and vegetables


that's a start anyway....

I've been dieting/exercising now for about 2 1/2 months on a 30/40/30 (protein, carb, fat) and have lost over 24lbs now. I haven't weighed in over 2 weeks so I'm sure it's closer to around 28lbs now. Actually, its been more like 40/20/40 according to the software I've been using. But, I'm 5'9" and had weighed 210lbs. Last time I weighed I was 185.75, over 2 weeks ago so it has been working for me.
 
Ok, my list:

1. Chicken Breast
2. Veggie Burgers
3. Veggies (Carrots, Etc)
4. Fruits (Apples, Bannanas)
5. Salad (Veggie?)
6. Tuna
7. Lean Turkey Slices (Sandwitches)
8. Fat Free Mayo
9. Fat Free Cheese
10. Skim Milk
11. Rice

Did I miss anything?

Since you're looking for high protein, I would supplement some protein shakes in there too. I mean, 20g of protein per 8oz. shake would be a big help for you. As far as salads, I like to use Romain lettuce. Supposedly, the dark green stuff has more oxidizers, minerals and such in it. Also, be sure and take a good multivitamin with iron in it. About the rice, I like eating brown rice, just because of all the carbs in white rice.
 
I have protein shakes here also.. I'm a HUGE peanut butter fiend.. But I will have to resist.. too much fat in it, even the low fat stuff
 
the best advice I could give though is to pick up a couple of muscle mags and look through them. Lots of diet/bulking up recipes in them.
 
yogurt,cottage cheese, peanuts,almonds,avocado contain things that help burn fat off the mid section.
 
white rice is a no-no. Use brown rice.
Stay away from white flour, sugar and anything hydrogenated.
Peanut Butter is good for protein. Egg white omelettes (with spinach and feta chz) kick azz.
Green Stuff is your friend (and no, I dont mean mouldy or whatever else you anyone migh jokingly think)
LOADS and LOADS of water. Actually drinking loads of water is excellent.
Go for protein bars instead of the shakes, as the shakes might make you feel a bit bloated.
Steamed, bakes, grilled and poached is good. Pan, shallow and deep frying is bad. Sautee only sometimes.
Tomatoes are very good for you.
Check the labels on 'low fat' products, they tend to have more sugar than regular. And check the 'low sugar' as they tend to have more fat.
processed is bad!

And if you feel any headaches, or tiredness or anything like that in the first few days to a week, don't worry... it is just your body adjusting to being taken care of properly!

Good Luck!

it has too much sugar - there is no such thing as pure juice - unless you squeeze it yourself.

Brown rice is higher in fibre. And it might not be great, but if you are gonna eat rice, brown is better than white.

edit: sorry hit post too soon! Below is a table that did not cut and paste well. it should be that everything on the left side of the / is brown and on the right is white.
