I talk about how I roughly structure a typical day’s eating. You will hear me talk about what my meals are like. Hint Hint: whether dieting or not, none of this changes!  The only modification is I get tighter on my calorie allowance for the day! I also discuss how the fact that I am an insomniac, so I am awake for roughly 20 – 21 hours a day on average, impacts how I structure my food intake and meal timings. Routine and structure I can’t emphasise enough the importance of having ...

https://howistayfit.com/diet/quick-tip-weight-loss/ Operation Get Dan Diced – Quick Tip For Dieting For Weight Loss Operation Get Dan Diced – Quick Tip For Dieting For Weight Loss I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what my diet has been like as part of Operation Get Dan Diced.  Everyone wants to know, how am I dieting for weight loss? Losting fat while gaining muscle? Well firstly, to be more specific, the question is “how am I dieting for FAT loss?”  I say this, because I am actually gaining weight yet “tightening up” at the same time.  So this can only mean that I am in the rare situation where I am gaining muscle yet also losing fat. I can only put this down to me experiencing “newbie gains” again regarding building muscle mass – since I hadn’t weight trained in such a looong time I am gaining muscle rapidly, as it is now a novel stimulus to my body. Technically it is impossible to lose body fat while gaining muscle AT THE SAME TIME. ...

I am lean and getting leaner (and more muscular!) Week 3 Progress Pics This photo above is a comparison to last week.  Definitely tighter and leaner, despite being heavier, but why I look more tanned too, I don’t know haha! 3 weeks to go – body weight is increasing? My morning body weight was an average of 77.3kg this week.  Last week’s average was 76.7kg.  My evening body weight this week was an average of 73.5kg.  Last week the average was 72.9kg.  So I have definitely gained a significant amount of weight this week despite being in a calorie deficit still. Gaining muscle while losing fat? Since I am appearing tighter, more vascular (veiny), and leaner (even in the face), I can only conclude that ...

https://howistayfit.com/diet/operation-get-dan-diced-week-2-update/ Operation Get Dan Diced Week 2 Update 2 weeks are now complete of my quest to get super lean. And I’m getting leaner!  Operation Get Dan Diced Week 2 Update: Week 2 Progress Pics 4 weeks to go My morning body weight hit a new low of 76kg – keep in mind that I hold A LOT of water on a morning time and this is when I am at my heaviest.  Compare this 76kg to last week’s low of 76.8kg.  My evening body weight, when I am at my lightest once I’ve shed the excess water, was at a low of 71.8kg compared to last week’s 73.2kg.  A significant difference. What changed for the weight to drop? I got stricter on my food intake.  I had been sloppy the previous week on sticking within my daily calorie allowance and hitting my target macros.  This week I set up a better and more rigid structure to my meals, to ensure I didn’t go over.  I’ve said this before, but  Jake ...

Flexible Dieting is a great concept that went horribly wrong!   admin   02/10/2018 IIFYM.  If It Fits Your Macros.  Flexible Dieting is a great concept that went horribly wrong! If It Fits Your Macros, or IIFYM for short, or Flexible Dieting, whatever you want to call it!  Basically, it was beautiful dieting concept that became completely misunderstood and turned into a monster!  I have personally used a form of IIFYM with myself and others, and it works great.  But it is probably NOT the type of IIFYM that you are thinking of.  Let me tell you a story. My old way of dieting When I used to diet down for bodybuilding contests, it was a very boring process.  I would eat nothing but “traditional diet foods”.  Cheat days / cheat meals were out of the question – junk food was for the weak!  I would eat egg whites, oats, chicken breast, tinned tuna, sw...
