Rapid Fat Loss Week 4

I must admit these 4 weeks have flown by and my results each week were pleasing! I was strict pretty much all the time apart from the odd day or two where I was a bit unwell and just needed to feel like a slob for a few days!

The whole purpose of me doing this “diet” was to drop some fat, I know I mentioned before how I prefer changing lifestyles etc but I started this with the intention of only doing a 4 week cycle!

Now this week was a bit difficult as I’ve had no carbohydrates (no free meals etc) all week and I trained everyday lifting silly weight! This was a mistake as it totally KO’d me!

I noticed my strength has gone down slightly which isn’t surprising as the carbs really do help fuel you when you’re training with intensity!  On the plus side I slept so well this week as I’d get home exhausted eat then just pass out in bed!

So I got up this morning showered, had breakfast (steaks – yeah I now, odd but I fancied it) then weighed myself!

12st 8lb’s

So 4 weeks ago I weighed 13st 9lb’, I’m so pleased with this drop in weight but I must be realistic and presume that I did drop a little muscle as my training suffered when I couldn’t be bothered to go that is!

Today I’m eating normally and I’m not going to worry too much what I consume as now I have some room to play around with! Next week I will be eating at maintenance (2000 calories a day) which I’ll keep a diary of so I can post it next week so you can see what my normal week is like!

After next week I’m going to run another 4 week cycle but this time I will be taking pictures from week to week.

I believe this way of eating is perfect (for me anyway) as I don’t eat much carbs as a rule anyway so I might just incorporate these methods into my lifestyle but with a few tweaks!

Firstly I’m going to try and stick to a strict training routine but this time I’m going to consume a few good carbs beforehand to fuel my workouts, for this I’ll most likely take a protein shake or protein bar 30 minutes before my workout.

Secondly I’m going to increase my protein intake overall to try and keep as much lean muscle as I can so I’ll be getting a few tubs of protein myself as I find it easier to knock back a shake than to eat all the time!

So my plan is to do 4 weeks on 1 week off as a guideline but I’m not going to restrict myself from having a good time as I know now I can drop weight easily. I was in pretty shape good anyway but now I have a feeling I’ll be getting rid of the washing machine sooner than I thought!
