I am by no means overweight, but my mom is done with the program so she gave me a whole months supply of the stuff. Does anyone have a sample plan for MEN that came with their supply? I can't seem to find one. I am going to be the lab rat here and try this stuff out for you guys! I am 5' 11", and weigh around 180 lbs. So someone give me a plan and lets see if I lose any weight! I'll post pics! ETA: Changed title ETA: Fixed, I meant 180# |

Don't do it, you'll just lose weight by starving away your muscles. Then when you stop eating a starvation diet, your metabolism will be way down (because you burnt off so much muscle) and it'll be easy to put weight back on. That weight will be fat not muscle. So in the end you'll just go down and back up in weight and have replaced a bunch of muscle with a bunch of fat. |
I am drinking protein shakes and taking L-glutamine supps to minimize muscle loss. Also I am not completely on a starvation diet, once every two days I have a large meal full of carbs, sugar, and fat. |
I have all the stuff that came with my 28 day supply for MEN. It doesn't say a whole lot. Some basic "get off your ass and do something that will burn calories" stuff. If you, for some reason, want it then PM me. |
I've done bulking/cutting cycles for over 2 years now... Bulk in winter/cut for summer. I am just using nutri system as a headache free way of monitoring how many calories/ protein I take in daily. But thanks for your concern.

No, but thanks though! I pretty much figured it out, the meals are marked "breakfast, lunch, and dinnertime". So it's pretty easy, and I allow myself 2 snacks a day - which is usually a protein shake. |
BTW, it says you also need to add your own fruits and vegetables each day. |

Now I may be wrong here but it seems to me that it is not working because you are gaining weight not losing weight.

thanks for pointing that out, I mean 180, my goal is 165 -170 |

1300 calories doesn't seem like you're "starving" yourself at your weight and height. I could be wrong, though. It seems like a reasonable deficit (perhaps pushing it a bit, I suppose). Are you really active? Why the concern for muscle loss? Would this be a problem at 1800 calories? Hmmm. Is it the fat/protein/carb percentages? I always heard that stuff tasted like cardboard, and was really salty. |
getting ready for summer, I've been on a dirty bulk for almost 6 months and gained nearly thirty pounds of muscle mass, and now I am cutting the fat off. It's a typical bulk then cut routine. |
