Diet
Hello... I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a diet made specifically for me? Or atleast a good website to where I can find someone that is close to my age, height, and weight?
Thank you! |

130lbs is not big I am the same height and have gone past 135 and still was never "fat" Post up a little more detail on your workout routine and diet. I am not a diet guru but will get you the correct info and in the right direction. As ar as the lifting, many times people plateau because they are doing the same thing over and over and over again for years, like you stated since 04'. Lets see what your doing and what your eating and wher we can help you out.

If you are trying to bulk and add some muscle then you are doing overkill on the cardio. If you are trying to lean out, then it all goes back to dieting. I will get back to you on a diet routine and some examples.

Not a woman, but id cut out the creatine. It can bloat you out. My wife is in similar situatation but you are far younger. If you want to lean out and loose weight, then what my wifes trainer is saying is to use your body to do the weight training and not the machines, especially the hip abductor or inner/outer thigh machines, becuse if you are predisposed to getting larger in those areas it is better to do stretching excercises for legs and upper body and using like a flat bench for arms, back etc. and dont forget the abs. You can use dumbells for lunges tho. Then keep up the cardio, but the diet is key in you loosing your weight. If you are eating as much in cals as you are expending you will most likely see no dif. You have to basically go on a cal restricted diet that also implements low sodium, no trans/sat fats, but alittle of the good ones, eliminate or reduce oils, no sugars. Fish, chicken, yams, veggies, lean meats, egg whites, some dairy, are all good, but you need to watch your portions. If your metabolisim is slow you might want to have a dr do some testing on your thyroid, like t-3, and t-4 and tsh, also maybe a glucose fasting test just to make sure everthing is normal.

I agree MS.. Totally, Welcome girl we'd be glad to help...You need to change your workout routine AND cardio up every three months or when you feel like your platueing. What do you want to look like? What are your goals? I also think you are doing WAY to much cardio.. You can do way more with a clean diet and minimal cardio and more weight training. Are you doing conditioning excercises or compound? Are you tryint to build muscle? if so, i stick to more compound excercises like for free weights. |

EVERYONE wants to loose but maintain muscle growth. It is next to impossible without "help". At 1400 you will not be growing at all.

Thats what I was thinking... is there an "average" amount of calorie intake I should go by? I've went to the calculators online but they all come out with very different numbers
