Advice?

FeetMagicII

Hi all,
I'm looking to get into a cycle of regular training over the next few months. Lately I've been going to the gym 2-3 times a week and taking whey after training. But I want to improve my supplement intake to balance the increased training I plan to do. Basically, I'm 5'11'' and of regular build with some excess fat. I want to buy a protein supplement and a weight loss powder/tablets. Hoping for some suggestions as to what my best options are and which products are the best.
Thanks.

Post up your diet in detail, if you don't have that sorted no amount of supplements or training will get you to your goals.

Alright, diets far from perfect:

Breakfast - porridge 50%, weetabix/bran flakes 50%

Lunch - 3 scrambled eggs 25%, sandwich/roll 25%, fry 10%, pizza 10%, chicken and pasta 30%

Post workout - banana and whey protein shake

Dinner - pasta and tuna 30%, oven fish and potatoes 20%, rice/pasta and chicken 15%, spag bolognese 15%, takeout 20%

Midnight snacking is certainly the major issue. I would usually smoke before bed and end up eating alot of chocolate and cereal.

I think I need to vary my diet alot and need to pick up some recipes for easy-to-cook late night healthy snacking.

Now there is sure as hell way better folks on here for advice but since im on the "cardio/resistence" weight loss kinda thing i may be of use

There does not seem to be good snacks in your daily diet, like say breakfast at 7 then rice cake and peanut butter with fruit and green tea at 11 kinda thing, ive found that the 6 small meals a day not only works but it keeps off cravings for sweet snacks.From the diet posted you have 3 meals and a post workout so maybe try split into 6 small meals??

I dont need to launch into the smoking bit do i....and to my mind for weight loss anything before bed is just a no go, i have a protein shake and possibly some blueberry jello at 9pm and thats my last meal till 7am next morning, choco and cereal before bed is not a good idea imo.

As for supplements, i use thermopure, on cardio days i take 3 30 minutes before workout(make real sure to have a towel!!!) and on rest days i take 1 with breakfast lunch and dinner. Ive also ordered some CLA but it aint arriving till today so i can comment on if its good or not, as for results, at the moment im dead on 14st with all excess fat around the belly and handles, legs arms and chest are good and toned, total fat loss on 6 meals a day and 5 workouts a week is 4 stone 6 lbs, so may be adjust the diet to 6 a day for a few weeks and easier said then done but the fags just have to go, i dont know any seriously fit people who smoke!! best of luck with all you take on!!!!
