I'm just starting HST. My question is what type of diet is best. I'm relatively new to weight lifting (2 months). So far I've been following the circuit training methods in the book. I'm more interested in gaining muscle. With the Abs diet I'm eating 3 meals and 3 snacks per day. All of the meals are based around the 12 power foods. I drink a protein shake after each workout, but do not take anything else. Here is a sample of my diet.
Breakfast: whole wheat carb (2 peices of toast or oatmeal), protein (eggs, nuts, or natural peanut butter)
Snack: protein (nuts or fat free cheese) and Fiber (fruit or veggie)
Lunch: Protein (chicken breast, low fat lunch meat, tuna, etc...), milk, spinach salad (low fat sugar free dressing, raisins, unsalted peanuts)
Snack: protein (non fat cottage cheese, non fat yogurt), berries
Dinner: Meat, whole wheat carb, veggie, milk
Snack: protein smoothie
My goals are to add muscle, but loose fat. I go for a run every morning, so I'm thinking about droping the circuit training and going with HST.
Sorry for the long post, but I'm in need of help. I'm tired of being Mediocre.
