I've decided that I need to detail my diet as this will keep me on the straght and narrow, plus Rab has many more journals than me!

The idea is that I cut out as much crap as possible and what I'll do is start a new post every day and add to that post as and when I eat, as I won't remember otherwise.

My intention is to be ripped in October and I'm doing fasted cardio every morning.

Breakfast at work: 2 scope BSD Milk Protein & 2 buttered crumpets with marmite

Lunch: chicken breast, couscous, quinoa, red pepper, salad onions etc

1.30 pm Granola 25g - Good Carb Company

3.00 pm - CNP protein bar

6.30 pm fish pie with green veggies

8.30 pm some chicken and small glass of white wine

crumpets and marmite. Like it!

see what happens then. try and keep it kinda consistant mon-fri and it lets you tweak things a bit as the weeks go on

Crumpets and marmite....WHY have I never tried this before?!?!

This shall be remedied on Wednesday when I am in the UK and can get proper butter, marmite and crumpets!

Slightly burn the crumpet first - use real butter as well and loads of marmite - wonderful!

I've got to ask. Crumpets? on a cutting diet?

Why not...for now anyway?

Love crumpets. Hate marmite - well, I don't hate it, but I'd rather have some nice home made marmalade or nice manuka honey.

I have a big problem with the shit where by to do a cutting diet...everything must be all of a sudden "cutting food"

bollocks

If simon cleans things up a fraction and does cardio every day..thats a bloody good start and will get the ball rolling. let the old fool enjoy his crunmpets lol.

when things stall on the scales then its time to either replace things or take stuff out.

bollocks to this cutting diet crap.

Cheers Rab

There's nothing wrong with crumpets. This is breakfast. I've done fasted cardio. Then driven for 30 minutes to work and I'm hungry. I have protein first, then 20 minutes later the crumpets. My metabolism is starting to fire.

I'm with karlos. Sort it out buddy. 50g porridge oats banana peanut butter and choc protein allll the way

PCT at your age! brave man

Ok ok fine then lol why not just use some novo in the am to help keeping gains etc. Stimulates LH release also

Plonker - I'm in PCT from too much porridge - honestly, I make a joke and it goes right over you. Mcfly!

Oh dear I blame the low carbs. Or my distinct lack of ever donning a pair of blue shorts

bollocks to this cutting diet crap.

this is a cutting question Rab, you need to work your contest experience into the answer along with your current BF and a pic from down the gym if you want any credibility. Have you learnt nothing!

LOL Craig. Im not quite at that level of competative BB asshole yet

Point im making is Simon is a crazy old fool. He is just looking to start cutting so theres no need to start off feckin perfect is there? All Si needs to do to get the ball rolling and not make things a bloody sore shock is to clean it up a wee bit and start the cardio.

That will get things moving and then from there it can be cleaned up futher as and when necessary. Eventually the crumpets will have to go if he wants to be ripped but all this crap about making things inch perfect from the beginning is bollocks

Not everybody wants to have a perfect diet. I dont, Si doesnt so the fcuking crumpets stay for now

I think that Craig has an innate aversion towards anything that has been in close proximity to even a picture of wheat, hence the anti-crumpets crusade.
I have to say that I thought that after all the battles with me and my diet I thought that he had learnt the advantages of changing by degrees, but maybe I was wrong....

I made no comment on the diet, I was just joking with Rab.

The battles we had where because you thought you knew better on a topic you knew less than nothing about

I based your diet on YOUR metabolism, I don't diet in the same way as you and when others ask my advice they get advice taylored to their metabloism, level of current leanness, bodyfat distribution etc etc.

Thats exactly it Cat...change a degree or two at a time.

I gotta say Craig is pretty good at sarcasm. its his only talent i recon

"Something you knew less than nothing about" PMSL

See? You don't even mention personal preferences and diet feasibility based on pre-existing habits!
Not everybody is perfect, and not everybody is able to remove all treats all of a sudden without shedding a tear or two....
