Bulking diet advice please

tmawinstone · 23-03-2006, 06:45 PM

I have been dieting strictly for the last 2 months now diet recomended by my trainer at gym. It seems to have worked brilliant and helped me pull through my usual flat spot of 84 kilo. Just wondered if any one knew why this has worked, gym instructor is greek (i live in greece) and language barrier stops him being able to explain why it works. Here are the details.

For 15 days..

1, 200gram oats honey milk bannana

2, 10 eggs 2 yolks

3, 150 gram pasta 200g steak

4, 200g pasta 200g tuna

5, 200g yogart 1 bannana

6, 200g pasta 200g steak salad

Then change for 15 days

1, 200g oats milk

2, 150g rice 200g steak

3, 200g rice steak

4, Peanut butter sandwhich

5, 200g rice sweet corn, cheese

6, 150g rice steak

Same diet just alternate every 15 days. I have always eaten similar amounts but contantly the same and other meats. Just wondered if anyone has heard of this and knew why changing has worked to break through and gain the extra kilos. thanks

Looks pretty good to me, lots of good quality carbs and a variety of protein sources. The only thing your really missing are EFAs (good fats). You can get these by replacing your tuna with an oily fish such as salmon/mackeral, or taking flax seed oil.

You dont mention in that plan what you have post workout, I would recommend some whey and a 1:1 mixture of dextrose/maltodextrin.

reef, where can you buy the dextrose/maltodextrin?

Extreme Carbs are a good source...

i would use fish oils over flax as it is used by the body more effeciantly...

Flax and fish oils are two different substances though aren't they? i.e. different omegas?

Not so much diffrent Omega's just a diffrence in balance of Omega's your body needs a particular balance.

Fish oils have a much better balance of Omega 3 and 6 where Flax has a balance more in the favour of Omega 3's
we all need Omega's3 and 6 in a specific balance to properly utilise the benefits...

Ok thanks for the advice will go grab some salmon. Has any one got any knowledge on why changing a diet every 15 days helps though.
