It's the eatting that gets me like I have no clue how to get a diet dragon gave me a sight which is really good but how did you guys manage to stick to your diet?
willpower and planning!! planning is everything my man, if you don't plan, you don't have the right foods available, if you don't have the right foods available I guarantee you'll eat the wrong ones! (i do!!)
I have a busy job and a family, so sticking to it as much as I would like to, is very difficult but I do the best I can and I find that not dictating what everyone else in the house eats, keeps things on track. I personally eat fairly high protein, low carb with healthy fats, there are loads of useful logs from people in the nutrition section and just about every fitness mag I know has a diet planner in, sometimes with a shopping list for the week and what it will cost at the supermarket.
There is a wealth of information out there, but again depends on your personal food preferences as well, the good news is that there seems to something for everyone, you just need to find the one that suits you.
I stick really well to it during the week but Friday is blow out, it's my cheat night, saturday i do my best and Sunday is ok, as every sunday is child free...
I know I could possibly have acheived my goals by now if a) i was more rigourous with my diet and b) i'd learnt some basic lessons sooner... but i'm getting there, slow and steady wins the race!! I'm approx 51lbs from where I was 18 or so mths ago, and i've shed over 10% BF, gained muscle and i've recently had a full medical and improved my heart rate age by nearly 10 yrs
Have a look at some of diets in the nutrition area and see what you think what might work for you, my view is the diet with foods you like to eat is the easiest one to stick to.
BTW - supps will never do the work of poor diet and/or training... that's why it's soo important to get those two right in my opinion
