Dazw62 asked for more sample diet plans. I think it’s better to give some guidance instead of listing diets. Nutrition boils down to three things.

1. The single most important factor that’ll determine your body composition is calories. You have to consume fewer calories in a day than you burn that day if you want to lose weight.

2. Macronutrient ratios. How much protein, carbs, and fats you eat is important. I try to consume 50% of my total calories from protein, 40% from carbs, and 10% fats. I usually consume about 300 grams of protein, 200 grams of carbs, and the fat comes along with the meat I consume.

3. Nutrient timing. I try to consume the majority of my carbohydrates around my workouts. I try to spread my meals out over the day so I eat about 8 times a day. I eat more fiberous vegetables at night. Etc.

Thats 90% of it.

All diets work. Atkins, the Zone, etc. They all work if you stick with it. Be honest most people know how to get ripped, its the following through part of it that we lack discipline on.

Dieting is all about action and sticking to it … being consistent.
