18 weeks out Jr USA

by: Joe Lyons - January 15th, 2008

I started my diet this week for the Jr. USAs in May. I was really looking forward to it because I'm getting restless and feel like a whale. Over the weekend I weighed in at 230lbs. I stated in earlier blogs that I was eating all high days with cheat meals to prep for the diet. At first eating all the cheat meals was great, but by the second week, I started loosing my appetite. Most days I would end up eating 5 meals a day at best. Eating all that processed, high fat food made me feel awful.

Now the diet has started and of course you miss the off-season eating right off. Monday was a high day. I had a lot of food, but I was still hungry without all the fat in my diet. Today (Tuesday) is a medium carb day and I'm starving! LOL

Here's the break down. It's not very specific, because that's what I pay for.

I have 2 high carb days, 3 medium carb days, 2 low carb days each week.

High Carb days are 600g of carbs, 250g protein, NO ADDED FAT

Medium Carb days are 200g of carbs, 300 protein, 20g added fat

Low Carb days <100g of carbs, 400g of protein, 60g added fat

20min of cardio 4 days a week in the morning or post workout.
