Well nutrition will definately need to be on your side however you do not need to go nuts with it. It will need to be strict but you don't need to be nuts about it because you will more than likely quit if that's the case. Here are some basic things.
1. Subscribe to mens health, it has good diet tips, fitness tips and women advice.
2. Eat whatever you want one time per week, the rest of the time keep it within the regs... This is your shopping list picked apart by me...
Bananas = No no, ALL carbs
Salami = No effing way, it's Roast beef, turkey, chicken or fish...
Granola = very fattening
Protein = get a tub of whey, that's about all you need
3. Stay away from sugery stuff like juice (unless it's light), drink lots of water and stay away from caffeine. Here is an example of a non-nut case day of meals...
Breakfast:
Piece of fruit
bowl of cereal/skim milk
water or light juice
*if you get hungry before the next meal eat a Protein bar or drink a shake, but BE CAREFUL you do NOT eat protein MEAL REPLACEMENT bars*
Lunch:
Tuna sandwich (made by YOURSELF) with miracle whip, light on it, just enough so it sticks together. Pre made tuna sandwiches have a lot of mayo. On wheat bread...
Water/Light juice
Baked lays if you MUST
*things to NOT have on your sandwiches...MAYO, other sauces, too much cheese*
*in between protein shake*
Dinner:
Skinless chicken breast or Fish... brown rice, steamed veggies and a glass of skim milk or water. You can use salt it will help you retain water...
*shake or bar for desert*
DO NOT EAT PAST 7-8PM!!! If you get hungry, chug a glass of water.
You will need plenty of rest too. That is just the diet section of it in a nutshell, an example of what it should be like while keeping your sanity on a NORMAL person schedule lifestyle.
