Week 1 Review

Week 1 Review

I have to say after 1 week of this diet I am actually really enjoying it and not finding it difficult at all. If anything I am enjoying my food more and feel like I have so many more options. I definitely want to start looking up some more cool recipes and trying them out. I feel like I have much more passion for food now, previously my food was really boring….chicken, fish, steak, chicken, fish, steak…..!

 

Let’s see my results:

 

Start weight = 77kg

Starting Body Fat = 11%

 

Current weight = 74kg

Current Body Fat = 10%

 

Before anyone gets carried away, I am still not convinced this is the result of the diet. These results could either be because of or in spite of the diet. We have to keep in mind that I just spent a week over Christmas doing no exercise and eating whatever I wanted. As someone who trains regularly year round it is not difficult for me usually to drop back to my normal weight which is basically what has happened in the last week. These results could be a result of the training rather than the diet, we need to keep an open mind.

 

Here’s some more info:

 

Energy levels – Definitely up, no fatigue or tiredness.

Weight Training – No impact on weight training so far, still doing the same weights as before

Bowel Movements – All good

Concentration Levels – No issues

 

In the interest of full disclosure I feel like I should elaborate on concentration levels. First a bit of background, I have been known to have the odd “moment” which my friends nickname “princess moments” as I am sometimes a bit special. Last week I had two of these moments, I went to the shop one lunchtime in the car, then walked back to work leading me to have to walk all the way back to the shop. I also managed to leave the gym without grabbing my keys which let me into the gym, luckily I had a friend who could go in and get them for me. I am not sure if any of these moments are related to the diet or if it’s just my usual stupidity. I will keep track going forward.
