Hey lyle are any of your books geared so that I could write my own diet based on your protocols for a bodybuilding comp?

Just curious, diets have failed me in the past…not because of cheating either. I’m the most focused and determined person I know. I’m 5,7 and 150lbs about 22% body fat and would ultimately want to be closer to 16%. I hired a personal trainer and for 3 months I was spot on with training and diet. I did gain strength but my body didnt respond visualy. I was very disappointed! At the time I was 40lbs heavier than I am now. Fed up, I went on a diet called Ideal Protein. I lost 40+ lbs and now want desperately to hey back into the gym and finish what I started. The question is… I have seen fantastic reviews from UD2 as well as flexible diet books you’ve published. I’m wondering which one would suit my needs better?

Hope to hear from you soon,
Sarah

I am 48 years old. I wear size 8 to 10 and have probably 28% body fat. I was keeping my weight down (size 4) y performing 1 to 1.5 hours of cardio 5 days per week.
The weight just keeps creeping on up and my ability to run is decreasing due to hip problems.
Which of your diet and excercise program would you suggest.
Thank you

Please check out the store FAQ, it discusses briefly which book may apply to which situation. From what you posted, I can’t be any more detailed than that

I’m 6’1, 200 and about 15% bf. Wondering which book I should read to begin with? I’ve been through Berardi’s Lean Eating program and am looking for a specific diet with specific recommendations for workouts and fat loss. Thanks.

Andrea,

It’s really important to realize that the Guide to Flexible Dieting is less an actual diet book and more a behavioral manual to help diets work better. That said, females in general respond as well as men to the ideas in my experience. You can check out the support forum (link can be found in the support tab above) for folks who have used all of my books.

Thanks
Lyle

Do you have advice or feedback/testimonials regarding this book as applied to females? I know that fat loss is a whole different “animal” in the other gender…. Thank you!

[...] One solution to the problem of low serotonin levels is to include some kind of high-carbohydrate cheat meal (as opposed to an entire cheat day) in your diet once or twice a week. Complete instructions on how to do this are available in Lyle McDonald’s A Guide to Flexible Dieting: How Being Less Strict With Your Diet Can Make it Work Better. [...]
