I am a M.E student in Anna Univ Chennai.. I used to do gymming during my bachelors and had a break for a year or 2.. now I have joined a gym in adayar and have been going there for 3 weeks. the instructor put me on a strict low carb, no fat and high protein diet.. he told me to do so to decrease my body fat. I had 15% body fat at the time of joining and weighed 71.6kg then. My height is 167cm. Now after 3 weeks I lost 4kgs and my weight is 67.7kg. I feel good about the body fat I have lost but I fear that I have lost my muscle amount too! my hands are really thin now compared to 15 inches biceps(when pumped) I had before.. Is there any way to gain muscles but lean muscles and one more question I take ON 100% gold standard whey protein 1 scoop after workout and half a scoup early morning before breakfast but a 2 lbs tub costs Rs.1800 and is not going to last 20 days. Since I am still a student I cant afford to spend so much. Is there anything cheaper and as good? What about Stamin whey protein?
Once you reach low fat levels and you try to put on muscle you will feel big.
And regarding whey protien - you can substitute them with boiled egg whites too...
Stamin is one of the reliable sources of protein in india. I recommend PRO 3 of stamin.. cos its much cheaper for you and has good protein efficiency too
I called up Stamin Nutraceuticals and they say that Pro3 is for weight gaining as it has carbohydrates and you must take Super Whey for lean muscles! I am confused now as I want to lose all my body fat, get 6 pack abs and gain lean muscles.
I have an enquiry regarding creatine.. I am feeling very tired because of my diet and workouts.. I train 6 times a week. I do cardio and abs one day and weight training the next day. Do I need to include creatine in my diet?
Please tell me if there is anything missing in my diet..
my diet is-
Early morning- 1 glass warm water with half tsp honey and half tsp lemon
morning- I might do crunches or a few pushups and drink 1/2 scoop whey with water
Breakfast- 1 cup of oats with 2 boiled egg whites
after one hour- 1 orange
lunch- 2 chapathi, boiled vegetables and 1 boiled egg white
I would be more happy if you post your queries in my discussion forum (link given on top of the blog) (http://groups.google.com/group/biglee-murali?pli=1)
PR) 3 has 10g of carbs and 80g of protein . The company point of view - whey is costly and they earn more profit..
So do not worry and go for PRO 3. I use pro 3 upto 10 days prior to contest.
creatine is a good addition but i recommend that you first get familiarized with proper nutrition and then go for additional supps.
Aim correct: for gaining muscle you need more calories than what you want and to lose fat you must eat less calories than what you want.
Pro bodybuilders can do both at the same time but it is better you concentrate on one thing at a time.
I can not comment much on your diet as i do not know your height, weight, measurments etc

Yaz,
ReplyDeleteIts common to feel small while dieting
Once you reach low fat levels and you try to put on muscle you will feel big.
And regarding whey protien - you can substitute them with boiled egg whites too...
Stamin is one of the reliable sources of protein in india. I recommend PRO 3 of stamin.. cos its much cheaper for you and has good protein efficiency too
