It’s impossible for you to be bulky. It doesn’t work that way. I lift very heavy (about 60 Lbs. on some exercises and 170 Lbs. on my legs) I am not bulky. Trust me, it takes a lot of effort and a very different diet to be bulky. You will not go from heavy or out of shape to bulky. You have to do weights to be able to build muscle so that you don’t end up being a skinny fat person with a lot of flabby skin.

As far as meals, cut all sugar and lower your salt consumption. Try eating every 3 hours if at all possible. I only have 1 or 2 servings of fruit per day and eat a lot of vegetables. Make sure you get plenty of protein (have protein for 4 of your 5 or 6 meals). If you’re going to have a salad, have it with some chicken. Don’t starve yourself! That’s the WORST thing you can do to lose weight. Eat a balanced, healthy meal.

This is what my lunch looks like for example: 6 oz chicken (baked or boiled in water with no salt, just some herbs and Mrs. Dash). 2 cups spinach with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar ( the vinegar is really good for you), 1/2 a cup of brown rice (measured cooked). As you see, my lunch is pretty big. For a snack I’ll eat 1 cup of plain non fat Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup berries and a drizzle of honey.

The secret to a good diet is eating natural, non-processed, foods (stay away from TV dinners, or anything that is prepared ready for you to just heat and serve). The more you have to prepare the meal, the better it is for you. I hope this helps… it’s a lifestyle for sure but you’ll be happy with the results.

I’d skip the reese’s puffs and have plain oatmeal and egg whites instead.
