Hey friends, it's been a while since I last put a blog on here, forgive me!
I wanted to share with you my amazing 'fat loss' journey over the past 151 days that has enabled me to go from 14 stone to 10 stone 12lbs.
5 months ago, I was a 'chunky' for me 14 stone and I decided to 'get lean' for my forthcoming trip to Canada/Orlando. I knew on this type of holiday I'd be eating some naughty food, so I thought it best to be ahead of the game.
So, I quickly devised an eating plan incorporating many of the principles from various low carb eating programs such as the ketogenic diet, the paleo solution, primal eating and JJ Virgin's eating plan. The results were/are truly staggering.
My bodyfat is down to 5%, with great muscle retention. Heck, I've now got veins on my stomach or as Charles Poliquin calls it 'Penis skin on my abs'. :-)
For those crazy enough to give my eating plan a crack, here is a list of what I've been eating literally 7 days a week for the past 5 months. Each 'meal' food listed is eaten with 2 hours in between:
- Black coffee - teaspoon of Kerrygold butter, teaspoon of coconut oil
- Black coffee with teaspoon of coconut oil and teanspoon of double cream
- 2 raw eggs mixed in water
- 2 scoops of whey protein powder, wheatgrass, chia seeds, coconut powder - mixed in water
- 20 grams of salted peanuts
- Same as meal 3.
- Same as meal 4
- 1.5 scoops of whey protein powder mixed in water
- 2 scrambled eggs and half an avacado
- 1 scoop of whey protein powder in water
- 15 grams of salted peanuts
- 20 grams of Red Leicester cheese and teaspoon of salsa
- 250 grams of 98.5% steak mince burgers (cheese and salsa on top)
- Black decaf coffee with 2 teaspoons of double cream
- Carb Killa protein bar
Well, there you have it, my daily eating plan. But here's the thing; You do not need to be as focused as me to make substantial losses in bodyfat. All it takes is to reduce your carb consumption to around 100 grams a day (most people are on circa 5 times that!), this doesn't include great fibrous veg like brocolli, kale and spinnach.
Have fun
