1) I realized (about two days into the diet if i remember correctly) that I had much more fat than i realized, and therefore chose to run the diet longer than 12 days
2) This also changed the actual diet that i was eating according to my new bf% (i used the BMI and it turns out i was near 18% so i had somewhere around 130lbs. of LBM)
- Protein: ~180 (1.25xLBM), normally chicken breast, tilapia, or egg beaters
- Fish oil pills (started at 10-9 pills a day, but got Ultra-Omega sometime last week so i only take 4 now)
- Every Wed. I had a re-feed of ~390 carbs (3xLBM) of starchy carbs, and as little fat as possible <50g's
- Every weekend i would have one free-meal, all of them except this past weekend i went a little overboard in my opinion, and i feel it may have hindered my progress. Oh well, live and learn.
- About half-way through i switched over to a RPT style of training, and followed the exercises listed in the handbook.
So i started the diet at 161.6,
Today i was 148.8
That's 12.8 lbs. lost!
Now obviously, there is a lot of water lost, and lack of food in my gut that helps attribute to this weight loss, but considering it's been less than a month I'm pretty damn happy with this.
I can confidantly say that this diet works, since I lost essentially no strength on the diet.
Next week I'll take a 11-14 day diet break, and then resume dieting again, most likely with Lyle's Ultimate Diet 2.0 or with a Leangains style approach. Not positive which one yet, but I still have a little while to decide.
and now for the good stuff PICS -
