New Meal Plan
Seeing as how I can’t drink the milk, I need to follow a new meal plan. Below is an example of the new plan.
Meal 1
3/4 cup oats
1 banana
1 cup water
2 tbsp peanut butter
1 scoop whey isolate powder
Blend all into a shake
Meal 2
6 oz yogart
1 oz crushed almonds
2 cups kashi cereal
1 scoop whey isolate powder
Mix all up. Tastes pretty good actually.
Meal 3
5 oz chicken breast
1 cup brown rice
1 apple diced
1.5 tbsp olive oil
Mixed all together into a stir-fry
Meal 4
3 whole eggs
3 egg whites
1 cup broccoli
1 cup brown rice
Mixed all together into a fried rice mixture
Meal 5
5 oz chicken breast
1 cup broccoli
1 oz crushed almonds
Mixed all together (noticing a pattern here?)
Meal 6
1 cup broccoli
5 oz chicken
1.5 tbsp olive oil
1 cup brown rice
Mix all together
Meal 7
1/2 cup oats
1 cup cottage cheese
2 tbsp peanut butter
I am eating every 2 hours, and so far it is not bad. I did all of the cooking at one time last night for todays food, and plan to keep cooking the next days food each night.
That’s all for today.
Eat Clean, Train Mean!

Day 4 – Squats and Milk…Minus the Milk

None for me thanks.
I didn’t post anything from Day 3…but here’s the cliff-notes. I finally drank a full gallon of milk. The results: diarea, stomach cramps, bloating…and believe it or not…wheezing. That last symptom concerned me a bit so I researched it. At first I was positive that I was lactose intolerant…but that didn’t explain the wheezing. Then I read about cow’s milk intolerance, which has most of the same symptoms as lactose intolerance, but they are different. Lactose intolerance is a problem with the digestive system not producing lactase. Cow’s milk intolerance is an allergy to cow’s milk. Since I am allergic to everything else in the world, there’s no reason to believe that I’m not allergic to cow’s milk…especially with all of the symptoms.
So, Day 4 I decided to consume zero milk. By noon I stopped wheezing, and all other symptoms disappeared. That is a MAJOR problem with the Squats and Milk workout. I will not be drinking anymore milk, and instead am just going to continue doing the workouts but instead of the milk I am going to be doing this other 4000 cal diet that I pulled off of a forum on bodybuilding.com. Tomorrow I will tell you more about the diet, but I’m pretty excited about it. I cooked all of my meals for tomorrow at one time tonight. It took a little while, but I didn’t mind at all. I think that I can gain the 15 pounds in 6 weeks even WITHOUT the milk. And if so, then I will have a new regiment for people to use who can’t consume the gallon of milk that this workout is supposed to require.
Today’s weight: 172
Workout: Since it was too easy last time I added 30 pounds to the squats (for a total of 165 lbs). PERFECT amount. When I got to the 9th rep I had doubts that I could finish. After the 15th rep I had to pause for about six to ten breaths before doing each of the last five reps. When I finished my lower back was a block of cement and my legs were screaming! I love it. I also did:
2 sets of Deadlifts with 225 lbs
3 sets of bench
3 sets of chins weighted with 10 lbs.
3 sets of bent rows
3 sets of military presses
