Brilliant! Ill get on it!
Eat small meals frequently( every 3 hours or so) with a lean protein(grilled skinless chicken breast, fish, tuna, etc.) veggies and complex carb (old fashioned oats, sweet potato, brown rice). Try to only eat real food ( no chips, candy, soda/ diet soda, junk food, artificial stuff). Eat breakfast. Eat more on the days that you work out. This gives me great results and is easy to stick to:
Breakfast: some combo of oats and eggs - I like to do an oat/ egg white pancake (with a yolk or two tossed in) and sometimes throw in some sweet potato, too. + an apple + green tea
Snack 1: Whey protein shake and a handful of almonds or piece of fruit
Lunch: 1 can tuna with balsamic vinegar, bowl of raw broccoli, carrots and cherry tomatoes, 1/2 sweet potato
Snack 2: low fat cottage cheese or yogurt with mixed berries and ground flax seeds
Dinner: grilled chicken or fish with raw or lightly steamed veggies, brown rice or sweet potato
Snack: Whey protein shake
When you are looking to build muscle, you don't want to rely too much on your scale, muscle is more dense so you might actually weigh more - just go by how your clothes fit.
HTH!
Thanks for that. Ill try it and let you know how its going. What sort od diet will help me see results faster?
I think heavy weights would be good for you. It gives you curves in all the right places. If you have never lifted, there is a book that has a great program, it is call The New Rules of Lifting For Women. The program in the book is 6 months long. Muscle building takes time so it will not happen overnight, but if you are new to lifting you will see some changes pretty quickly. Don't underestimate how much you can lift and don't be afraid of 'bulking', it is really hard for a woman to gain that amount of muscle. It will just give you great curves.
