30 min. on treadmill
15 min. weight & strength
15 min. cardio

(TTS- Tue. Thru. Sat.)

1 hr. Swimming


Diet- High protin, no fat, no starch,no rice, no potato.

Meals at every 3 hours.

Total 6 times in a day.

very bad diet...you should not eat so often, it will invite more and more acid secretion and lever will get overloaded if it has to run the digestive system so frequently....good diet is ...OATs/Fruits/Boiled Egg White breakfast in d morning.....complete meal including dal, chawal, roti, sabji/meat and butter milk in lunch and light dinner...do eat rice without starch..do not consume too much of milk or dairy products like cheese.
 
thanks for the advice gents.

I don't really try to rip my body, and get a stone like sculpture. Just a nice body shape and some fishes poppin out of my arms!!

So, another question, what is the best source of protein?? except shakes and supplements.

Single cell protein(commercially available) having 45-85 % protein content , cereals ,fishes and prawns are gud sources of proteins.

Chicken(always skinless, preferably breastmeat), beef (top sirloin, tritip, chuck), Fish, Eggs (egg whites), Soy, Nuts, avoid salt, and fast food, avoid junk stuff with MSG and high sodium. Absolutely big no to colas and sugary drinks. A very good alternative to soft drinks is skimmed milk.
 
I work out about 4-5 days a week, depending on school and work. Are you trying to gain muscle or lose weight?

BMI is fundamentally flawed and doesn't take body composition into account.

@ Antibody : Dost, whats your take on 'Isometric Exercises' ? I've heard some great things about it, I even did 3-4 purely Isometric Workouts from the book 'Isometric Power Revolution' and man were my muscles pumped and myself sweating like crazy afterwards.
 
I would rather move a load for a longer distance of contraction/extension to get the max workout in minimum time aswell as to get the afterburn effect
 
Body Weight Simulator -- put your present weight and target weight to get the data


The Body Weight Simulator was developed by Dr. Kevin Hall’s research group at the NIDDK and was published as part of The Lancet series on obesity:

Hall KD, Sacks G, Chandramohan D, Chow CC, Wang YC, Gortmaker SL, Swinburn BA. Quantification of the effect of energy imbalance on bodyweight. Lancet. 2011 Aug 27;378(9793):826-37. (PMID:21872751)

Please reference this paper when publishing material using the Body Weight Simulator. Full description of the model equations can be found in Dynamic Mathematical Model of Body Weight Change in Adults (PDF, 244Kb) document.
