CASE #3 "The Case of the Fat Eating Fat Person"

Hi Doc Dave,
I'm new to body building and I was wondering what are good safe supplements for women that will help me build muscle.

Thanks,
Angie

Dear Dr. Dave,
I'm 5'6 225 lbs. I have a considerable amount of body fat to get rid of. I just finished a BFL challenge(12 weeks) and the first Cycle of Body RX (6 weeks) . I'm eating very clean with only a few slip ups here and there. I'm going to start Cycle 2 and I'm allowed 275 grms of protein, 200grams of what he considers yellow carbs(more starchy carbs) and I have to get 45grms of fiber in a day. I spread this all out over 6 small meals.

I've heard of creatine, glutamine etc... I just don't know where to begin with supplements or if I really need any at all. My goals are to look like a body builder, well defined muscle and increased strength.

I know muscle is the best fat burner and I'm really wanting to add more muscle mass. I'm roughly 30% body fat, I've not had it professionally measured but my goal is 18%. I'm sure if I get to 18% that wont be low enough. LOL!!!

Thanks,
Angie

Dear Angie,
What is your age? Do you eat any animal fat? butter? ice cream? chicken?

Try not eating any animal fat for six weeks. see if you lose any weight. five pounds a month = a 60 lb a year weight loss.

Olive oil is OK. no animals. no meat. even the leanest meat is still 50% fat by weight. no butter or cheese. no dairy. skim milk is OK. eat much as you want want of non-animal foods. Cereals, fruits, vegetables.

Steamed fish is OK for now for protein. egg white is OK. steamed veggies are good.

Lime juice. Lemon juice. garlic. spices... all fine.

No butter. no sour cream.

In other words, try eating "nothing with a face" (except steamed fish).

Email me if there are any foods you're not sure about.

If you are able to change over to this "no fat" way of eating.... as the weeks drift by... you will weigh less and less.

yours,
Dr. Ores

Dear Dr. Dave,
I'm 33 yrs old. I do eat some animal fat that is marbled with in meat like steaks and such. I do try to trim off as much fat as possible. I eat a pat or two of butter a week if that. If I have pam spray I don't use butter at all and if I do it's real butter. I eat a lot of chicken but do get burned out quickly if that's my only choice. I eat the white meat only. I've not had ice cream in about 18-20 weeks. I try hard to not eat sugar of any kind. I use a lot of splenda for sweetener.

Thanks,
Angie

Dear Angie,
Try to not eat animal fat for six weeks or so. Or try no animal fat 4 days a week if you are able. Chicken meat of any kind is 50% fat. If no fat enters your body (through your mouth) then you will weigh a little less each day. There is no other way for fat to get inside of you. There is no fat in the air you breathe and fat does no soak through your skin. The only way fat can get into you is if you place the fat in your oral cavity and swallow it. Stop doing that and you will weigh less as the weeks drift by. Try it and see.
