What Diet And Workout Plan Should I Be On?
![]() |
I am a 19yo male. I weigh 170 pounds and am 5’11. I am currently at 14 percent body fat. My goal is to drop to under 10 percent body fat but I also would like to put on some muscle. I know it is hard to accomplish both of these at the same time but has anyone had any success with a certain diet and workout? I am also doing a lot of cycling. Any suggestions on diet and workout would be helpful.

You won’t lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body’s fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt — known as a dieting plateau). You can never get slim by starving yourself.
My older cousin did this and she actually lost alot of weight and it was really healthy eating:
She ate only whole grains (instead of just white carbs she had whole wheat, whole grain or pumpernickel) you can find plenty of breads, pasta, cereals, etc. in whole grain.
The only meat she ate was poultry: chicken and turkey (no steak or beef) and it was grilled, boiled, etc. (not fried)
She ate alot of vegetables but cooked them in chicken broth instead of oil or butter.
She ate fruit instead of sugary things.
She didn’t eat any dairy (she had light soymilk with cereal)
She only drank water or seltzer
She didn’t eat carbs past lunch.
And this was the key thing: she ate every 2 hours to keep her metabolism going fast and to make sure she was full by dinner. (She didn’t eat anymore past 6pm or so)
So she’d have a carb breakfast (whole grains), then she’d have a fruit snack, then she would have any kind of lunch (whole grain carbs, poultry, salad, whatever she felt like having) and then for dinner she’d either have chicken or turkey with a side dish of vegetables.
She exercised alot too. It really worked for her, she looks great.
Plus it’s not that bad of a diet. I ate over her house and she made me spaghetti squash instead of pasta (b/c spaghetti squash is a vegetable) and I thought it would taste terrible but I found I like it MORE than pasta! Be creative with the foods allowed.
Another completely different thing you could try is the nob carb diet, that seems to work for everyone but it would most likely leave you no energy to work out…
