Some people have mentioned. "I don't think I could do this diet" This is the easiest diet in the world. Because there's no thinking. I don't count calories. I don't have to figure anything out. I just drink the shakes and eat 1 meal. That's it. My 1 meal can't have any carbs. Last night we had hamburgers. And as I pointed out to Matt hamburgers without bread is called Meatloaf in most parts of the USA. The night before was chicken and salad. I haven't felt deprived. I haven't felt hungry too much and every time I felt hungry, I checked the clock and oh it's time for another shake.
Since the start of this, the only thing I've felt changed other than a primarly liquid diet has been the snacking thing. And my energy during my workout today. I did my normal weight training... (all 3 sets of 10 except for deadlift and that's 3 sets of 5) Squats 95lbs, Deadlift 135lbs, Hip Sled 180lbs, Leg Extentions 50lbs and stairs. And that all felt normal. Then I did my cardio.... that's when I felt really weak. I did my speed bag and the bag was so deflated that I couldn't do my normal 5 minutes. So I thought OK I'll just do 10 of kickboxing instead. I don't know if it was the lack of my normal workout partner or my loss of the speedbag or what. But I was really flagging. Matt says it's because of the low carbs. But we'll see.
I actually went to the "diet" session of the supermarket, before heading to the gym today. I was looking around for the "whey" protein. Who knew there were so many. I am seriously considering doing this. I am working out 5 times a week, so how hard can it be. As it is between work, daycare, gym, gym-daycare and home i have not time to eat. :-)
ReplyDeletegoing to do some research on them and we'll see.
I would love to have just a cup to wash. :-)
