Week one!
OK about to
embark on my first week. The diet plan that I am following is very counter
intuitive. It is my own plan purely created by science. I have had to
understand that fat loss has nothing to do with fitness and that the body will
decide whether to burn fat or not. The body is its own machine and no matter
what I may want to do it may not want to play ball. So I guess that I will have
to make friends with it, perhaps for the first time in 43 years……………….. What a
weird concept!
If science
is correct I will be able to use body fat for fuel without disturbing anything
else. All I will have to do is a bit of cardio every other day and weights on
non cardio days.
I wont go
into the diet plan as of yet. But I am going to stick to it. I have however
given up alcohol completely. This is the hardest thing for me in the program.
My weight
at the start is lean body mass 145 pounds and carrying 26 pounds of body fat. I
am expecting a fairly steady reduction in fat but it will be just fat. And
strangely it should start off slow and then speed up. This is the opposite of
most diets where the weight loss comes quickly ant the beginning and then slows
down.
It is
important to remember here that loosing one pound of body fat will have a
dramatic visual impact. Where loosing one pound of weight will have no impact
on my appearance at all!
