gaining weight because of job, what to do

[Mr.Speed]

hi,

Ok, so Iam doing resistance training for almost 6 years now, therefore I am pretty experienced. Iam doing a low carb diet for 2 years now, to basically hold my weight stable, because I am a softgainer, so I got becareful.

My Problem:

since I started my jobtraining as a bookkeeper, I have not got so much movement as I have had before in my "unemployment time", sot herefore I gained 2 kg of weight, although I workout 3 times a week and go often for a walk in the night ( 1 hour just walk around in the street) to compensate my lack of movement.

It doesn't help

So I also used ephedra, but it seems that my body got used to it, so it doesn't help either, besides, it is not possible anymore to get the good old Xenadrine RFA-1, which was just awesome.

so, I do not know how to prevent the weightgaining, any tips?

please help

-Green tea... lots
-protein/fat or protein/carb meals... no meals with carb/fat
-lots of protein per day
-eat every 2 hours
-no carbs after 5-6PM
-limit fats after 8ish or so PM
-low intensity cardio when waking up... 3-6 times a week.
-clean eating... most of the time.

Less exercise? Eat less.

-Green tea... lots --> tried it,worked in the past


-protein/fat or protein/carb meals... no meals with carb/fat-> never mix fat with carbs, if, then only in small amounts


-lots of protein per day --> thats in!

-eat every 2 hours --> not possible in my job!

no carbs after 5-6PM-->almost no carbs the whole day

-limit fats after 8ish or so PM -> will try that

-low intensity cardio when waking up... 3-6 times a week. --> not possible, work starts too early

-clean eating... most of the time. --> will eat poultry and fish, for the next couple of weeks+ salads

thanks so far, for your help:cheer:

you cant because your work starts to early? I think thats more of a i dont want to because it means i have to get up even earlyer, maybe you already get up at 7 and it means you would have ot get up half an hour earlyer, but if you wanted, you could still do it! Dont dismiss the idea so quickly!

 

[Mr.Speed]

buddy, i get up at 6:30 a.m. in the morning, which is f*ckin early.when should i get up? at 5 a.m.? come on, I am working 9h a day

 

[semag]

if you get up at 6:30, you could get up at 6 like 3 days a week and walk briskly for 30 mins...

as far as not eating every two hours?? why not? 9 hour day?? that's only 4 meals... - 1 for lunch. That gives you 3 left. you're required to have a break right??? that's another one... 2 left. Pop a couple protein shakes for those two... bring a little tupperware with flax oil or olive oil to toss in them to slow the digestion, and you're in.

That's probably one of the most necessary ones. Trust me, the metabolism needs to be taught to keep going, and to do that you need to keep it going .... all day.

Yeah, this guy is totally right.

You NEED to eat more often to keep the weight down - your metabolism depends on it!

So, if you're just book keeping and you can have drinks (I'm pretty sure you can drink something during work) make smoothies, protein shakes, or anything of the like to help you.

Trust me, it will make all the difference.

wtf doe sthat mean no carbs after 5-6 pm?
u think its gonna work some sort of magic?

 

[semag]

umm.... if you load up on carbs before bed, or have left over carbs in your body, the glycogen fills up, adn then the carbs don't get used, and converted over to fat when your metabolism slows down for the night... in general.

 

[Mr.Speed]

yeah i drink protein shakes at work, i make them with water instead of milk (cause of the carbs int he milk) and my shake got 1g of carbs per 30g powder

 

[check_mate_kid_uk]

Adjustments to your diet can be made so that you won't gain weight, but I would suggest upping the intensity of your "walking" sessions. Why not try some walk-jog intervals instead of slow walking. This metabolism boost will improve your overall leanness and help with recovery from your weightlifting sessions. Then you can get a bit crazy if your diet and you won't notice as much weight gain.
