I'm ready to start the diet from week 3. However, I'm looking more along the lines of a "weight gain plan". Any suggestions? Thanks, Sivesh Hi Vic,

Probably not the best choice, but probably not the worst choice either. The bigger problem is the nuts. . . Do your best to only eat nuts labeled as "raw" - that means no salt and no additional oils. Quantity should be kept small. By small I mean what fits in the center of your palm in one layer (not a big mound). That breaks down to 6 - 8 almonds for most people. I'd guess cashews would be pretty close to that. Snacks should be used as your hunger dictates. Missing a snack here and there should not be a problem. It might even help in your fat loss quest. Treat the soy milk like dairy milk and limit it as much as possible. Good luck! Shrimp is ok. Probably not the best choice, but probably not the worst choice either.

The results some people got were great.

Some background: I recently graduated college and I weigh 240 after weighing 195 when I entered). I put on some muscle but no doubt a lot of the 45 pounds i gained was fat. My goal is to get back down to 195 and I plan to reach that this year with the help of this diet and some strength training 3 times a week (mostly bodyweight exercises until I can afford a gym). I'm hoping that on this diet, I can lose 30 pounds by June. The next 15 pounds will be tougher as that involves getting my bodyfat from about 17% down to 10% (I have never had less than 22% bodyfat as an adult so this is exciting for me). So I'm on the 2nd/3rd day of this diet and I just had a few things I wanted to run by you: For protein: Is shrimp okay? I guess it falls under (shell)fish and it is lowfat with 19gm of protein per serving (7 in this case) but the sodium seems high. I've been adding it to my spinach/cucumber salad. For nuts: I think I need to ease up the cashews as I'm eating about 25 Planters cashews (labeled with a hint of salt) alongside a fruit for snacks. Should I be going unsalted? Does the 3/2 meal/snack number have to be followed? I've been getting in two meals these first couple days, maybe 3 snacks. Do I need to be more aggressive about eating times? Lastly, soy milk? I like to drink Silk brand Vanilla Soy milk. These first two days i've kept it to one cup each day but do i need to treat it like low-fat dairy milk or is it OK as a beverage option with tea and water? Hey Vic,

Stick to real food and do your best to keep things to fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and raw nuts and see how your results go. Good luck.
