Okay, so I built one day of my current meal plan in My Fitness Pal so I could screenshot it and share it here. Its based on the Vertical Diet. Supposedly Stan Efferdings Vertical Diet addresses a lot of nutritional issues and and promotes general health and hormone production, etc., etc. Just watch one of his videos on the diet if youre curious.
Basically I just wedged in all of his “horizontal” nutrients wherever they would fit and then filled out the calories with ground beef and white rice. I had less calories left after accounting for all his dietary tweaks than I expected. I’m looking forward to doing this plan on a bulk. You’d be eating a mountain of cow and everything on here is super easy to digest, with the possible exception of the cheese, but it’s either that or resort to calcium supplements.
No shakes, no vitamins, the idea is to get everything from actual food.
The only thing required that isn’t listed in this plan is I think you’re supposed to eat salmon a couple times a week.
I have The Vertical Diet .pdf if anybody wants to take a look at it.
This meal plan is a cut. I have a theory that for people with my particular weaknesses, free days and cheat meals are ultimately counterproductive. The experimental feature is meant to be I will stay on this diet relentlessly for the entire period of the cut phase without a cheat meal or refeed or any deviation whatsoever.
Even if this results in periods of reduced metabolic activity, my hypothesis that these will be only temporary and I will push through them by staying the course. In the long run I feel that avoiding breaks in discipline is more important than trying to tweak the diet for maximum metabolic effect. Of course, as I get closer to my ideal BF% (8-10%), if I find that I need to drop calories to continue to burn fat I am prepared to do so.
Critiques welcome.
