Hi Everyone!
Sorry for the lack of updates once again. I haven't had time at all. Yes, I know, you shouldn't blog if you don't have the time. But I do anyways, because it is my blog and I can do what I want.. mine, mine, mine!!
So it has been more than month since my last post. But I can tell you that I have kept going and it is going great. I stopped the slow carb diet around and month ago and just started controlling my calorie intake. Still not eating fruit and milk products, and I am only eating very small quantities of carbs 3 times a week, on the days I have heavy weight sessions at the gym. Before I ate the carbs I was loosing too much in my lifts and was feeling tired, but with just a little bit of carbs, mostly brown rice and vita weet crisp bread I feel much better.
I have actually started loosing more weight when I got off the slow carb diet. It's really only about the calorie intake and eating a lot of proteins.
Remember how I told you I did 100 kg max in the bench press before going on the diet. I never thought I would be able to do it.
Here are my results so far.
I have lost roughly 8% of my body weight. I know weigh 79.8 kg, I started on 87 kg so that it is a 7.2 kg loss. In 2.5 months that's quite good. I have lost 9 cm around my waist, from 96cm to 87 cm. That is awesome and you can now clearly see a difference from my chest and waist. Now to the bench press. So I am weighing 8% less, but two days ago I tried a max lift and did 2 times on 100 kg. That is fantastic!
I am stilling going strong for another 3 weeks. I can tell you that by limiting the calories and doing good sessions at the gym together with good cardio sessions you will loose weight. No questions about it.
Hope you are all doing well as well. If the slow carb diet isn't working don't just quit. Mix it up with some other stuff. Try your own ideas. I can tell you that although I really like Tim Ferriss, some of the stuff is bs. The data is twisted and not completely honest. But hey, what do you expect, it is not like he was going to write a bestseller by saying he had accomplished mediocrity.
Peace out!
