Hi All,

I need to come up with a diet and eating regimen in hopes of making a total body transformation. My goal is to flush the fat, lower Body Fat %, add some lean muscle. Here are my stats:

Height: 6 ft
Current Weight: 215 lbs
Body Fat: 25%

Stack: (Just Purchased)
Multi Vitamin
MRI Pro Nos Whey
Recreate
Anabolic Pump
Powerfull
VPX Thin Fat

I need to figure out what I should be eating, When, and How to dosage my stack to get the best out of it. Any USP Lab reps out there have any thoughts? Thanks

I'd begin your diet, as I would begin any diet, with food choice primarily; too many focus on simple energy in vs., energy out, and do not give enough prominence to quality. Very basically, this means whole-food protein sources, smart carbs, and dense fat choices.

In terms of quantity, at your height, weight, and body-fat percentage, I'd begin at approximately 2050kcal, and adjust accordingly from there. For proportions, I would begin at 45% protein, 25% carbohydrates, and 35% fat, and reverse the trend of carbohydrates and fats over time as fat loss continues.

In terms of dosage, I would do the following:

15 minutes prior to breakfast:
1 AP
2 ReCreate

15 minutes prior to pre-workout meal (or last meal containing carbohydrates before workout):
1 AP
2 ReCreate
3 PowerFULL

15 minutes prior to last meal of the day containing carbohydrates:
1 AP

45 minutes proceeding last meal of the day containing carbohydrates:
2 PowerFULL

I will help you some more with the nutrition; thanks Mullet for the dosage and nutrition stuff!

From an article I wrote:

"MEALS

You will want to have 6-8 meals per day. This will help to keep your metabolism up. Think about it this way: you will turn your body into a energy burning factory because it is always "expecting" more energy in the form of food so it always has to be ready and at high burning capability as opposed to three meals a day where it only has to be geared for three meals. Therefore, have 6-8 meals to keep your metabolism up."

You will want to spread your meals out about 2-3 hours in between each other.

"NIGHT TIME NUTRITION

This is the meal that you eat right before you go to bed. People sit there and are wondering about this one, asking, "Doesn't it make you fat?" No, not if you eat the right foods. At night you release a large amount of growth hormone and therefore grow a lot. It is also the time where you are repairing yourself, so you want to provide the necessary nutrients to your body to do this. The goal here is PROVIDE THE BODY WITH SLOW DIGESTING NUTRIENTS TO LAST OVER THE NIGHT. We use foods like cottage cheese which contains casein protein and this digests slowly over 7 hours. Further, we use fat sources as they slow down digestion. We can use all natural peanut butter or raw almonds. A whole egg can also be good. Furthermore, we can use spinach which contains fiber (slows down digestion) and is overall good for you with its phytochemicals and antioxidants. So what I suggest:

-1 cup of spinach
-1 cup of cottage cheese
-1 - 2 TBS of all natural peanut butter
-1 whole egg"

"PROTEIN SOURCES
-Egg whites
-Steak
-Lean Beef
-Turkey
-Chicken
-Lamb
-Whole Eggs
-Whey Protein
-Casein Protein
-Cottage Cheese
-Milk
-Low fat cheese
-Salmon
-Tuna
-Haddock
-Lean Beef
-Lean Hamburger
-Crab meat
-Lobster
-Shrimp
-Cod
-All other types of fish, pretty much
-Buffalo
-Deer
-Moose

FAT SOURCES
Note: A large portion of your fats will come from your other foods selected
-Raw Unblanched Almonds
-Almond Butter
-All Natural Peanut Butter
-Whole Eggs
-Fish Oil (Not flaxseed)
-Various other nuts
-Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-Salmon
-Avocados

CARBOHYDRATE SOURCES
-OATS
-Whole Wheat Pasta
-Whole Wheat Spaghetti
-Whole wheat breads
-Whole Wheat Macaroni
-Yams
There are so many possibilities that you can use here to make great meals!"

Hope this helps!

Flax oil gives you ALA which has to undergo two conversion to get to your EPA/DHA. It makes more sense to take fish oil which gives you EPA/DHA directly, and eat your ground flax for fiber/some, Omega-3's and nutrients.
