Steak and Cake diet

Today I went to the grocery store and did some shopping. I go there every three days to buy milk but I always end up getting more. The nice thing about being back in a big city is the choices. Instead of 2 kinds of apples I can choose from 15...and I'm sorry but that doesn't make them "fancy food." I also bought 94/6 ratio of ground beef. It's more expensive but it's nice for making jerky and for eating. They have a 97/3 ration of beef but that's just way to expensive. Lean ground beef is just as good for you as turkey. Also turkey burgers are no substitute for the real deal. That being said I also like eating turkey. Anyway I went to the store looking to see what items I could eat on this workout plan I heard a guy talking about at the gym. The guy was ripped, head to toe so I figured he's doing something right. Hopefully he's not taking steroids...I don't want to be a body builder but as long as I'm going to the gym I figure I should try to improve on my workout. I've only started working out again regularly for the past two weeks. Before I used to do cardio one day, work out my lower body the next, on the third work out my upper body, and then repeat. It was a good way to work out all my muscles. Now I have decided that I am going to work out my lower body, and my upper body every other day, and at the same time do an hour of cardio before I start lifting...everyday. I've done it for two weeks, only missing one day. It's a lot of work. I hoping that I'm not trying to do too much, as if I'm working out all the time at half speed it's really only as good as working out all the time at full speed. Anyway the guy was saying that he tries to eat 1 gram of protein for every lb he weighs. And tries to eat half that in grams of carbs. I have decided that this is impossible for me. I've heard of all those low carb diets where you only eat like 8 carbs a day...I just don't see how it's possible. 2 cups of milk is 12 carbs...and that's just milk. Two slices of bread 4 cups of milk an apple and a banana and suddenly I'm way over 100 carbs. So I'm going to stick to the diet I came up with. I call it the steak and cake diet. Really what it means is that for every steak, chicken breast, can of tuna, or fillet of salmon I eat I get to eat a piece of cake or a cookie. I don't really eat that much bread, I don't eat rice, potato chips, or crackers. I don't drink soda or juice or anything with calories. I do eat as many vegetables and fruits that I want and when I'm craving carbs I eat the cake or cookies. I do cheat on the diet though. I don't strictly eat cake and cookies as my carb. I try to eat a lot of fiber as well. I really like this kashi cereal that you can get pretty much anywhere. It has like 10 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber and it tastes like candy...I'm not a nutritionist but I feel pretty great. I also found a website that I like a lot. It's free and they have a lot of neat things for nutrition. They can calculate how many calories you burn while you sleep, eat, or run. It came in handy for trying to figure out how many calories I should be eating. What I did was figure out how many calories I need to stay the same weight if I were to sleep all day. I then try to eat that many calories but work out everyday. I try to burn 1000 calories doing cardio and whatever I burn doing weightlifting is an added bonus. So for me to stay at my current weight with a sedatery lifestyle I need to eat 2400 calories a day. So I try to stay below 3000. That may seem large at first but when I work out everyday I am usually really hungry. I'm not going to starve myself so I eat. Last year I lost a lot of weight on the steak and cake diet and now I'm working on adding some mass. If you would of told me two years ago I'd of written a blog about working out I'd of called you crazy....but that's just how I get I suppose. While I'm not the most social person in the world and there is a long list of things I don't like doing, I like trying new things. When I start with something I usually really put a lot of effort into it. I've read books on everything how to play golf, tennis, and basketball, to how to bake, sew, and how to take pictures. Unfortunately my interest in things is usually a quick flash, while a slow burn would be best. Hopefully I'll stay fit without being one dimensional.
