HiPaCC :: The Dietary Revolution - new trial results!

ORIGINAL: DelBoy888

James, I am really interested in this diet, looks good. I am a boxer who is training regularly with boxing, weights and cardio, would this be applicable to me?

Cheers mate

Hi Del. It depends. Do you need/desire to lose much weight? Are you struggling to lose it? How much would you like to lose?

Fat-wise probably half a stone, maybe upto 10 lbs, abs are slightly visable when tensed but carry most of my fat on my hips. Am at top end of weight category now (81kgs) and want to lose as much fat as possible before bulking back up to be at maximum weight for category.

Do I struggle to lose it? Yes, in terms that I simply eat too much quantity of food, and when I do set myself out a diet regime I do follow it but it lacks variation and fruit & veg. Had lost 2 stone in a few months but now am yo-yoing around my weight/fat levels and have been for many months.

Cheers mate

If you're just dieting to lose some fat and not to 'make a weight' for boxing then it could be a useful regimen for you to follow for a few weeks

Have bought it mate and am reading through it now. Very interesting and well put together, will probably be starting it tomorrow

Alright mate have read through most of it and is quality, is it OK if I ask a few questions?

Question 1
My training week looks like as such:

Monday: 20 mins Shadowboxing AM / 30 mins 5-a-side Football PM
Tuesday: 20 mins Skipping AM / Weights PM
Wednesday: 30 mins 5-a-side Football PM
Thursday: Weights PM
Friday: 20 mins Shadowboxing AM / Circuits PM
Saturday: OFF
Sunday: Weights AM / 20 mins Bag Work PM

I also have 2x25 minute gentle cycles to and from work 5 days per week.

Does that mean I will need to increase the portion sizes at all due to increase in activity?

Question 2
Is it OK to switch the 100ml milk used with a different protein source, e.g. some whey? And can I take some whey after training with glucose drink? Because I'm normally used to higher levels of protein and am abit worried that they are low?

Question 3
For a cereal bar, is a Dorian Yates Pro Flapjack Bar a good choice?

Many Thanks mate

The link is quite informative, but if it doesn't answer the question the book is worth the money, my wife and dedicated/indoctrinated weight watchers pupil can finally begin to understand the importance of nutrition and not counting bloody points.

Obviously I will tell you that it is worth the money! It is more than just a diet regimen, it provides some good nutritional information which you will both learn from.

Not sure whether my post was misunderstood, I think I left a comma out, but I was answering JKJ's question by suggesting he have a look at the HiPaCC site, I'd bought the book at this point and was suggesting it was worth the money.

If I've misunderstood then please ignore my jibberish

of course!

You need to be on the level with the larger portion sizes, definitely

Question 2
Is it OK to switch the 100ml milk used with a different protein source, e.g. some whey? And can I take some whey after training with glucose drink? Because I'm normally used to higher levels of protein and am abit worried that they are low?

Yes this is a sensible adaptation to suit your lifestyle - good thinking

Question 3
For a cereal bar, is a Dorian Yates Pro Flapjack Bar a good choice?

Hmmm - it's a little too calorie dense TBH - half a one would be fine (but guess that's not filling enough!)

Thanks for answering the questions mate.

I have started a journal which I will keep updated with both my diet and training, and hope it will be useful to both yourselves and others here on MT. Won't start proper training until Sunday though as am feeling ill at the moment.

I can have 1/2 a Flapjack bar, won't be too filling but I'm sure I'll manage.

Also a few more questions:
1. Can I replace 1 of the bananas with something like a pear, as 3 bananas a day is too much for me?
2. Just before bed, would it be better for me to consume same 100-150g cottage cheese, rather than a banana?

1) Yes that's fine
2) Yes this is a sensible adaptation to suit someone like yourself

is the diet okay for cutting phase for a veggie?

Not sure if I've asked this before - but the little graph that outlines the macro breakdown for the diet seems to be very heavy on the carbs front, then low carbs & total intake at the weekend. Is that accurate?

Also, what are the veggie recipe options like for the missus??

ive asked james about this before and the largest portion food plan does not match the macro amounts in the graph by a long way (e.g carbs and total cals) despite the fact the graph is supposed to illustrate the macro breakdown of the high portion plan as the text states.

i think the graphs are just to show a visual representation rather than being accurate.

When you say cutting, you imply you're a bodybuilder, is that the case?

James, have read through the ebook and gotta say, very impressed. And I am someone who is skeptical about diet and nutritional info etc. It is bang on the money imo. Started it today as my eating has been awful over the last month (yet still haven't gained weight) so am going to do this just to get into good habits and try and lose a bit of fat, even though i am pretty lean. First day am really impressed. Will let you know how I get on.

Fair does, thanks

Hi AP

Good stuff - any questions do please ask. You need a full week really to get to grips, because the eating does vary considerably.

I still think the graphs are rather misleading showing calories up to around 2800cals on weekdays with the text stating that its an example of a meal plan 1 calorie intake and macro breakdown. Looking at the meal plans theres barely 2000cals on the highest calorie days and certainly not 1200 calories coming from sugars and a whopping 2000 calories coming from carbs in total.

Thanks for your comment - I will feed this back to the team

Just got my copy now and am looking forward to getting started in a week or so's time.

Hoping for some good results as ive had a few niggles which have hampered training recetly, coupled with a shockingly bad diet so now injury free and looking to get back into training 100%.

James ive only briefly skimmed over it but would it be wise for me to go with the larger portion size? I dont lift weights but train muay thai 4 times per week - 3x 2hr sessions + 1x 1.5hr session, and when i get into the 'zone' will incorporate a few sets of chins/dips and 20-30 mins skipping on off days.
