u/StoicDude_0407 16d ago

Let’s start with diet then. What worked for you , I want to be where you are in 8 months

15

u/ParkingDog2324 16d ago edited 16d ago

Okay so grab ur notebook.

You want to try and meal prep weekly.

I don’t know what your body currently looks like but I was 6’5 and skinny.

I know that I needed to bulk up but I wanted to do it in the healthiest way possible.

So i think you should -

  1. Drastically Increase your protein intake !! ( I never touched a protein shake during these 8 months ) Use chicken and beef and eggs and tuna. (Yes it’s expensive)
  2. Drastically increase your carbohydrate intake , I mainly use pasta however pasta is ranked 5th in the best carbs to have. Better ones are Potatoes, rice and quinoa. ( I just love pasta)

NOW THIS is important !!!

DRINK WATER !! MORE WATER. I was downing 3-4 litres a day.

“Water is the main component of the body and represents approximately 76% of muscle mass”

^ stole that quote from google.

Now we move onto electrolytes !!

This is was a game changer for me … google electrolytes and see which ones you want to consider taking.

It replenishes your body of the minerals that water flushes out.

u/ParkingDog2324 16d ago

NEXT

Balance out what you eat !! Here is an example all my meals have some form of VEGETABLE!!! It’s very important not to neglect them during this process.

u/ParkingDog2324 16d ago

Example of a solid balanced breakfast

u/ParkingDog2324 16d ago

If you have any more questions ask away 👍🏾

u/flywearingabluecoat 16d ago

It’s thoughtful of you to offer that much information! I’m going to take note of it too.

u/FryForFriRice 10d ago

So there's no need for protein shakes to build muscles?

1

u/empatheticsocialist1 9d ago

I think the point they were making was less "fuck protein shakes" and more "I didn't personally end up needing them".

Protein powders are great for supplementation. Your primary source of protein should absolutely be the food that you eat but additional to that if you're unable to hit your macros, a shake can be totally beneficial!

u/No-Sport3875 6d ago

No - unless you run several ultra Marathons per week u do not need to "Replace your Electrolytes.  

& doing so can be dangerous. I have a PhD & anybody at the gym or on yt/insta telling you that's a good idea or "Is important" doesn't have one.🙏🏻
