The body-sculpters diet

I was wondering if there are any weightlifters/body-builders that can give me some dieting info. I have tried a few times to diet but always find myself giving in. I have recently come back from holiday and after tasting some of the finest foods I somehow, strangly, felt I should come home and start dieting. If I needed any more motivation I then check out my holiday pics. I've have always had a lean, slim build and I was thinking I look pretty good here from certain angles. But when I see a close up I just look terrible, I'm looking at my torso here because the rest is pretty good. Without solid abs the physique just doesn't look in good shape. I'm looking to keep the shape I got, or possibly add some more lean muscle and get the desired abs.

My exercises and the rate at which I do it is good. But I have been doing it for months with minimal abs-results. I would like this diet to include the things I like; meats, eggs, fish (not mackerel), potatoes and the veg that I like; spinach, peas, carrots... Those are about the only vegetables I can eat. Then there is salads, yougharts, fruits but not nuts. Even though they are good I do not like nuts unless covered in chocolate.

If anyone diets, can they post their diary if they have one? Many thanks.

Take a look at the diet thread, mate, some good stuff there.

As Fists says check out the dieting thread, but it really depends on what you want to look like.

If you want a scuplted body you'll have reduce fat from your diet, but not entirely of course as it's a required macronutrient. Healthy fats from nuts, fish, flaxseed and that sort of thing is the best way to go. If you want abs then you'll have to be pretty strict with your diet as it will be key. Of course, you'll have to build upon the muscle there first, but no matter how big your abs muscles are, they won't show through a layer of fat.
