Herschel Walker: One Meal a Day, 750 to 1,500 push-ups/ 2,000 sit-ups.

[Maxxam]

After an intense work I am starving man.

I gain the most lean mass when doing 6 smaller meals...but they are small meals that keep my metabolism high all day.

Im going to try this though man...ive read about all the benefits of a low calorie diet...and a lot you cats are vouching for this

i guess Im just going to have to slowly work my way down to 1 or 2 per day with doing some juicing...it makes more sense in terms of overall health and im more concerned with that than physique

Myth... based on the thermogenic effect of food (TEF)... your metabolism being raised when you eat. Lets say its 10%, and you eat 3000 cals a day in 5 600 calorie meals. each meal would have a 60 calorie TEF for a total of 300 calories burned due to raised metabolism (60cals x 5 meals). If you ate one 3000 calorie meal, the TEF would still be 300 calories (10% of 3000). Your metabolism is raised when you eat, but meal frequency is largely irrelevant.

. Did you ever seriously get into it? You really should, especially considering the amble amounts of year round beautiful fruits and veggies you have access to there.

Yeah. I went organic and a high fruit-vegatable diet for a long time. It helped me get lean... was really good for my energy level...

but I was mostly doing lots of running and aerobic exercises

But when I shifted to a 6 months really intensive workout regiment to gain lean mass, I decided to stay away from any supplements (no creatine, whey, etc) I found myself really craving more calories....and really proteins..I would be really tired as I felt like I was starving myself... I was actually vegetarian for a while as well but had to add lean fish like salmon, tuna, etc a few times a week.

Now, I am only eating two meals per day..but I when I start weight training intensively again...i need to figure out how to do these without upping my intake considerable...

I probably just need to fight the initial cravings..but man...you wouldnt believe how lifting intensively affects my appetite....I eat like a bird but the very day i start back at the gym, my appetite kicks into major overdrive..

Im going to figure this shit out though ... because that six small meal shit takes too much damn work man....but i felt good doing it...

Yeah guys know more about this shit than I do. However, I have read about this kind of stuff for years. The books Ive read about that type of eating makes sense... ESPECIALLY, when you are trying to burn that last couple of percentage of fat when youve gotten down to a low body percentage and trying to get shredded in the lower abs.

Download this ebook here(it is on the board) called Burn the Fat, Feed the muscle... the six meal diet with the exact caloric breakdown listed where you alternate carbo stacking and starving....works like a muthafucka man..it is something that body builders use when preparing for a show..

Im not arguing with you....im just saying it worked for me

Maxxam,

here is a breakdown of what i used for a while

Notes on the Baseline diet menu template

1. This baseline diet template is very balanced and health-oriented. It is suitable for
weight loss (with calories below maintenance level), for year-round maintenance
(with calories at maintenance level), or even for weight gain (with calories at 10-20%
above maintenance level). The baseline diet should include a wide variety of natural,
low fat & low sugar foods including whole grain complex carbohydrates, fruits, low
or non-fat dairy products, and lean proteins.

2. Eat small, frequent meals - five for women and six for men. Eat approximately every
three hours. Allow a minimum of two hours between meals and a maximum of four
hours. Early day meals, especially your first one, may be larger than evening meals.
The last meal of the day should be light and if possible, eaten two to three hours
before going to sleep.

3. This template suggests eating your simple carbohydrates (fruit & dairy products) early
in the day. However, there’s no reason you can’t have fruit or dairy products later in
the day as long as your macronutrient ratios stay in balance. For example, you could
have non-fat cottage cheese as your protein source for dinner, even though it’s not
listed that way on the template. You could also have fruit instead of a starchy or
fibrous carbohydrate in your late day meals, as long as complex carbohydrates make
up the bulk of your carbohydrate calories.

4. This is a low-fat diet, but not a zero-fat diet. Include at least one serving per day of
essential fats (Udo’s choice oil blend, fatty fish, flaxseed oil, salad dressings, nuts,
seeds, olives or natural peanut butter). Avoid eating fats with large amounts of
carbohydrates. Essential fats go well with your protein and green vegetable meals.

5. Macronutrient ratios on this plan should be 50-55% carbohydrate, 30% protein, and 15-
20% fat. Always combine a lean protein and a natural carbohydrate with every meal.

6. Keep “cheat meals” down to only one or two meals per week.

7. A meal replacement product such as Myoplex, Met-Rx or Labrada Lean Body may be
substituted for one or two meals for convenience purposes.


The menu template for the low or moderate carbohydrate diet
Meal 1:
Lean Protein, Starchy carb (large serving)
Meal 2:
Lean Protein, Starchy carb (large serving)
Meal 3:
Lean Protein, Starchy carb (small serving or none), Fibrous carb (vegetable/salad)
Meal 4:
Lean Protein, Fibrous carb (vegetable/salad), essential fat
Meal 5
Lean Protein, Fibrous carb (vegetable/salad), essential fat
Meal 6
Lean Protein, Fibrous carb (vegetable/salad)

Notes on the reduced carbohydrate diet menu template

This reduced carbohydrate menu format is more restrictive than the baseline diet
and is designed for accelerated fat loss. It is intended for competitive bodybuilders,
fitness competitors or non-athletes who want to get extremely lean or break a sticking
point. It is effective for those with an endomorph body type or people who are
carbohydrate-sensitive. It works by reducing total carbohydrate intake, thereby depleting
glycogen stores and forcing your body to draw on stored body fat for fuel. It also works
by managing blood sugar and insulin better than a high carbohydrate diet. Never remove
all of the carbohydrates from your diet. Extremely low carbohydrate or zero carbohydrate
diets are not necessary to get lean. Instead, you should decrease your carbohydrate intake
slightly, eat fewer carbohydrates in the evening and change the type of carbohydrates you
consume. Switch from processed and simple carbohydrates to natural complex
carbohydrates, especially fibrous vegetables. Fibrous carbohydrates include most
vegetables (green beans, asparagus, broccoli, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, celery,
cauliflower, string beans, squash, zucchini, etc.)

[BigDaddyBuk]

actually diabetics would benefit most from a raw food diet.

not if they do it once a day.

if you are an ectomorph and a hard gainer, you will HAVE to eat more than one meal a day to gain muscle mass.

in th past 3 weeks i gained 8 lbs of muscle in my upper body area, and i did it by increasing my caloric intake.

perhaps after the muscle is built you can apply these precepts...but Herschel DID NOT get big eating soup and salad.

That's cool, everyone should do what works for them... but people get scared when someone suggests something "outside the box"... You mention eating once or even twice a day to a "fitness professional" or even a doctor and they give you the . Imagine if athletes were still afraid to lift weights because "all that muscle will slow you down". Or the "all fat is bad" shit that doctors peddled for years . Conventional wisdom is often just plain wrong.

I suggest people try it (eating less) out, and make a decision for themselves. My introduction came a few years ago because a guy I play ball with is in his mid 60's, shredded and still running with the young 20-40 yr olds and more than holding his own. He and his wife both look 20 yrs younger than they are and swear by one healthy meal a day, from their days in the NOI. I had a thread about it:http://www.bgol.us/board/showthread.php?t=216504

I tried it out, and after adjusting, I was . My wife saw me leaning out and flexing more than usual and got with the program to help lose some of her baby weight after our first child in 2006 and she was looking like she was 18 again. I have 3 kids under age 5 right now . After each pregnancy (she ate more while pregnant) she returned to one meal, tightened up and next thing you know, we have a minivan.

I've done a lot of reading on calorie restriction and hope to reap the benefits and will be able fuck up some young guns when I'm 60. It hurts when a man getting social security hits you with the crossover

Everybody has to do whats best for them, but we shouldn't be afraid to try something new especially when there is so much evidence that it (eating less) is not only good for your longevity, but can also be good for your vanity depending on your goals. If you want to look like Ronnie Coleman... you're gonna need several meals a day and horse steroids.... but if you want the lean, muscular look that most people are after, intermittent fasting can be your method or just a tool...Check out and eatstopeat.com and its creator, Brad Pilon. His program revolves around 1-2 24hr fasts/week and eating "regularly" on the other days.

I like the simplicity of eating once a day. We just eat a healthy dinner and we're good. We eat higher quality food because we don't have to buy as much as if we were eating 5-6 times. And I enjoy and appreciate my food more than when I was younger. I'm a convert and I swear by it.

Quite Accurate from many of the armchair, cut & paste Supebeingsballerdons as yo ualready know how the hype goes;

Not sure when that happenned but these kats may have not read nor paid attn to him also having DID with all the personalities clashing as he said he balanced 4 @ a time, all excelling in what 'they' wanted to;

THANK YOU!!! Finally the voice of reason steps in. Its like all of those bodybuilders who tell you their workout routines and how they eat but they leave out the one thing that you really need to make it all work, STEROIDS!!! Herschel is on something probably test and Hgh, but make no mistake about it, he is on something. I'm not saying thats wrong, hell I would take it to if I could look like that at 50....

I will try two meals for a month.

Small fruit snacks(half apple/bottle of water) at interims if it becomes necessary.

Like I said earlier in the thread there is a lot of information out there with regards to nutrition and how the human body works, some of which seems contradictory and counterintuitive.

they should read things with a sceptical eye because just being published does not guarantee validity.

Checking this out and that other link as well man. I get kind of obsessive about things so Im going to be really reading a lot about this over the next couple of weeks before trying.

I have actually done 1 or 2 meals per day when I am not training with no problem. I just have to figure out how I can do it while training.

and yeah man...all the things Ive read about calorie restriction make just too much sense to me manl.. if there is will, there is a way..im gonna get this shit right while doing training

Plus, Hershel Walker has always been a liar given to ridiculous claims about his diet and exercise regimen.

Your brain WILL use about 120grams of glucose if you are eating a carb rich diet. But what if you arent taking in a bunch of carbohydrate? Do you die? No. It will use ketones from burned bodyfat. Also, the body has no problem converting protein to glucose via gluconeogenesis. If dietary protein is sufficient, it will be used over skeletal muscle/organs. Dietary carbohydrate IS NOT actually needed to live.

only a fat bastard would eat 5 600 calorie meals
5 300 calorie meals is more like it

It was an EXAMPLE... even for 1500 calories, the math holds true, whether you eat it in one meal or 10 meals the total TEF is the same, 150 calories.

not likely you can maintain that physique on that regimen alone.

he likely is supplementing with something else. not saying steriods or hgh but definitely something else.

that is just science. 1 + 1 = 2.

edited: to specify that i was referring to muscle mass.
