Shame myself into shape

lingyai

OK Blokes,
Got back into training a couple of months ago and started the Beyond Brawn method a couple of weeks ago and decided that the only way to keep motivated is to shame myself with my fat pics. So here they are, I know I have a long way to go and I foresee lots of cardio on my horizon.
I know these pics don't belong on a muscle site yet but I think it might be the motivation I need to keep a check on my diet. I welcome all comments.
Thanks guys.
Ling
Sorry, had to put this link in cos I can't get the pics to show.

Hi Lingyai

And welcome to the boards, the key to losing fat in my opinion is diet, I used to be 245 lbs and now stay at a healthy 200lbs with a good nutritional program and off course training schedule. Post ur current eating habits (dont be shy) and allow us to assist u with a diet program.

all the best

Cheers Rianabol,
My diet has been shite, no question, I just started eating a bit cleaner about 3 weeks ago. I can't be too accurate becuase a lot of the time I work and eat on ships (usualy 6 weeks on / 6 off) then I am at the mercy of the cooks and just try to eat as best I can. I can't take protein with me.
Here is roughly what I eat now.
0800 Wake up drink water and go to gym.

1000 After workout, fruit smoothy made from water, bananna, strawberry or pineapple and protein powder 1 scoop, creatine 1 tspn.

1200 1 cup pasta with tin of tuna and olives

1400 Hard boiled egg and fruit

1800 Veggies with fish or chicken, maybe rice

2100 Fruit smoothy

I know it is not perfect and sometimes I might eat some fried chicken or fried rice, but not often. I drink tons of water and maybe 1 coffee per day.

Look forward to hearing what you think.

1000 After workout, fruit smoothy made from water, bananna, strawberry or pineapple and protein powder 1 scoop, creatine 1 tspn.

-This is OK... but would be more ideal to have some high GI carbohydrate like dextrose or waxy maize starch with whey straight after the workout, then 45 mins later have you fruit smoothie. Might be a good idea to have a good bowl of porridge oats for breakfast instead.

1200 1 cup pasta with tin of tuna and olives

-Ideally wholewheat pasta but this is OK, is there 40g+ protein in the tuna?

1400 Hard boiled egg and fruit

-1 Hard boiled egg is 6 grams protein, (egg white is 3 grams) - try having 2 whole eggs, 6 whites omelette instead...

1800 Veggies with fish or chicken, maybe rice

-Again, portions should be significant...

2100 Fruit smoothy

-I think you are eating too much fruit - the sugars in fruit (very high content) although not high GI are mostly fructose, which actually isn't that ideal for cutting fat or building muscle - great for vitamins / minerals but too many carbs i think... try replacing this for 1 scoop of whey in a pint of skimmed milk before bed.

I know it is not perfect and sometimes I might eat some fried chicken or fried rice, but not often. I drink tons of water and maybe 1 coffee per day.

Look forward to hearing what you think.
