Frustration!
I’m really frustrated right now. I’m really thinking that maybe I just need my own nutritionist and personal trainer even though I am a personal trainer. Well I think the training aspect of my life right now is going well, but I’ve heard that it’s only 10% training, 10% genetics, and 80% nutrition. So I guess it is true that you really are what you eat. That’s why I’m trying to find a good meal plan that will help me lose fat and gain muscle because I’m closing in on my goal date and my weight is still the same. It is usually much easier for me to lose weight than this…especially with all the cardio I’ve been doing. So I’m starting to wonder if my birth control is playing a factor in this. I just want to see results faster…I’m so impatient!

I know the feeling and diet is such a huge factor, I have the same thing going on (minus the birth control issue:) I am finding as well getting older is so much more about eating right because I can not kill myself like I used to. It is crazy but you are what you eat:)

It IS true, and I learned that the hard way. Here’s what I do when I cut: eat every 3 hrs. 50 grams protein, 15-25 carb (slow), minimum amout of fat. cut out carbs in the evening. do cardio ONLY after weights. Obviously, you don’t need that much protein. I will eat up about 275-300 a day, but you should probably do 150- 175 protein, and 75- 100 carbs. This is a simple plan. I wis bobybuilder once told me that it doesn’t have to be a voodoo diet. He sugesest that, it worked good for me. anywho, hope that helps
