1^ST STEP BY STEP NUTRITION  PLAN

1. I do beleive that when we start a new nutrition plan, the first elementary plan for loosing weight is only cleaning our eating plan and there is no need at this moment to make any tweak to our nutrition plan.  I  always said to my self:  GIVE YOU SOME ROOM TO PLAY WITH BECAUSE LATER ON YOU WILL HIT A PLATEAU and if I gave it all at once at the same time with everything, it’s only going to be harder and harder for reaching my goal.
2. So, first: I got rid of all process food.  Everything that is transform by human handling will hardly help us loosing fat. STAY CLOSE TO MOTHER NATURE
3. Now I took the time to note how I was progressing while I was only cleaning my nutritional plan.  As long I was loosing weight with this first plan, there was no need to actually TWEAK my nutritional plan.  I GAVE  MY SELF SOME ROOM FOR LATER ON.

2^nd STEP BY STEP NUTRITION TWEAKING PLAN

1. It seems that I was not making anymore progress since my 2 last weeks that there was no really more progress and my weight lost was not moving down any more.
2. Now it was times to get rid of my 2 last starchy carbs meals at the end of my day.  We are usually less active at night and we don’t really need all those starchy carbs and boost of energy carbs for this period of times.
3. I concentrate my last 2 meals with a source of protein, veggies and healthy fat
4. Now I took the time to note how was my progress while I was cutting my last 2 carbs meals at the end of my day.  As long I was loosing weight with this 2^nd approach, there was no need actually to TWEAK more my nutritional plan than this.   I GAVE  MY SELF SOME ROOM FOR LATER ON.        

3^rd STEP BY STEP NUTRITION TWEAKING PLAN

1. It seems that now it was making close to 2 weeks that there was no really more progress and my weight lost was not moving down any more.
2. It was time to start CYCLING MY CARBS.
3. No one react the same at the cycling carbs process and you will have to find what will be working the best for you.  Actually for me, cycling my carbs with some low, moderate, high day’s carbs work very.  Actually 3 days on the low/mod carbs day and 1 high day carbs seem to be even better for me.
4. I  took the time to note how was my progress while I was CYCLING MY CARBS AND CALORIES INTAKE.  As long I was loosing weight with this 3^rd approach, there was no need actually to TWEAK even more this 3^rd step. I GAVE MY SELF SOME ROOM FOR LATER ON.

4^th STEP BY STEP NUTRITION TWEAKING PLAN

1. It seems that  the cycling process was starting too slow down quit a bit for me so I thought that it was probably time to TWEAK my 3^rd approach but keeping the SAME APPROACH at the same time..
2. So I did remove ALMOST ALL MY STARCHY CARBS from my plan except that I kept my bowl of oatmeal every morning  and I stick with protein/veggies/fat and FRUITS AND HAVE KEPT CYCLING MY CARBS AND CALORIES.
3. RESULTS:  I did reach 119 pounds weight on scale and I was amazed to see that I did not hit ANY PLATEAU, cause in 2004, when I did reach the 120 pounds I have been stuck for almost 1 month into a plateau, but at this period of times, I was keeping my starchy carbs.  I do believe that removing my STARCHY CARBS have made a HUGE DIFFERENCE.
4. Starchy Carbs and Protein don’t really match well together into our digestive system.  Both of them are (Starchy Carbs and Protein)  requesting A DIFFERENT ENZYMES.  While carbs need an alkaline environment, protein needs an acidity environment.  So the matching of both of them are not helping us anymore and all those food combination get putrificate inside of your digestive system and it is not helping us anymore keeping those kind of combination for burning more fat..  In Regard with the question of FRUITS, I did kept them at the beginning of the days and take them off from my last 2 meals and I did stick with protein/veggies/fat

5^TH. STEP BY STEP NUTRITIONAL TWEAK PLAN – FINAL TWEAK

1. Tweaking even more the plan, I did have great success as well following my meals combination of:
2. PROTEIN/VEGGIES/FAT – or
3. PROTEIN/CARBS/VEGGIES
4. CHANGING MY FUEL SOURCE and keeping my meals # 3 combination around my workout only.  For sure I was feeling that I was not able to push a lot of irons at the gym, but my main goal was not building more muscles but trying to get much more ripped.
5. For the final stage of getting lean without doing cardio. Ah.Ah. I know, I am not really doing cardio, I do believe that with my 5^th step, I will have get  ripped, ripped, ripped……IF……I WOULD HAD THROW MY SELF INTO CARDIO. Ah.Ah.  – I will experience it with my future Competition of MAY 2006.
