    The reason why no one is listing a diet plan for you is because you should be eating different foods every day instead of the same old ****. 1000 calories a day can not be sustained either. Examples of some basic changes to your diet: vegetable soup instead of the same old heinz soup, random fruit smoothies instead of an apple, and rotate chicken with other fowl or fish/meat. Water intake should also not be limited at all. You should also take in a good multivitamin daily.

    true, and even so, losing weight quickly with a diet like that just messes you up not only while you are losing weight but while the weight is off. mentally your thinking won't be as clear obviously, you may get headaches with the lack of water he has, dizziness; there are countless things.

    even worse is physically you will look and feel bad. you will lose a lot of muscle along with the fat, you'll feel much weaker, your skin may get messed up due to having such a smaller surface area to cover so quickly, you will look like a twig with twig arms and probably still have a distinctive gut. etc.

    i see that you want a diet, here is a simple attempt. I would recommend reading more and searching bodybuilding.com and other websites nutrition section for excellent advice. seeing as your an adult male and a boxer with high work activity i would recommend at least doubling your caloric intake to 2000 calories.



    Breakfast: get decent carbs, fats, protein, and nutrients; not just protein from a shake like you do now. example: oats with peanutbutter, honey, milk, scoop of protein, and mixed in fruits. egg or egg white.

    snack on vegetables and fruits and nuts, will keep you feeling content and well even if you arent hungry.

    lunch: protein, lower g.i. carbs, some fats. ex: chicken salad or sandwich on whole grain bread. side of veggies and fruit. may need a bit more food.

    Preworkout: energy like a shake of peanutbutter strawberries or something similar.
    post workout: shake(not sure of your workout exactly, im assuming typical boxing workout) with protein. youll need a bit of sugar in it or another form of sugar after a workout.

    Dinner: something similar to lunch. need your protein and a bit of fats and low g.i. carbs.

    before bed: have some type of casein protein, like yogurt, cottage cheese, etc since you still will be in a caloric deficit; slow digesting protein will hopefully help preserve some muscle and still burn fat for energy.



    although i'm not sure if this 1 stone needs to come off quickly; the above is an example for a bit of a healthier diet. switch it up, read a bit more and you will easily eat healthy at a calorie deficit and loose weight while still feeling strong. need fats, proteins, and carbs. when cutting i avoid high glycemic sugars and of course hfcs(ask if you want studies); need much protein it will help preserve muscle, which will maintain your strength. i hope i didn't waste the time writing this for nothing. at the very least search other places and you will find this diet of yours isn't your most brilliant idea.

    a 1000 calorie diet will leave you feeling and possibly looking nasty even after the weight comes off.

    I'd agree with that in general. Better idea is to get an estimate of your BMR, which I'm guessing would be around 3000 calories, and subtract around 500 calories from that. Although your bmr might be a little messed up depending on how long you've been doing this diet. See your results and adjust as neccesary.

    yeah but you're a little jit though. i was confusing BMR with his daily calorie needs, my mistake.
    To the guy trying to lose weight try this site: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm
    for a VERY rough estimate. For me it ranges from 2800 to 3500 depending on the website; you can check a couple other placs. BMR is different from your daily calorie needs as the name implies. Your daily calorie needs should be around 3000.

    I still would not go for 1500 calories a day for the "extreme fat loss," cause obviously the calculator won't be taking into account the muscle you will be losing aswell as the fat.

    It also won't be assuming workout intensity on a boxer level. I'd aim for 2000 at least.

    **** Calculators, **** counting calories.

    Just Count Protien/Carbs/fats.......

    Never count calories, its a **** way to live.

    Ive lived in that manner, and it was'nt nice. Also just listen to your body aswell, when its hungry you will know............

    Now I do limit calloreis from time to time beyond what is normal and it is tough. But I just keep some high fiber snacks lying around and that works well. It really is all about appetitie.

    Anyone tried the Zone Diet or know if it's any good? Crossfiters swear by it and they do some extreme stuff.
