Well, I have successfuly completed the first day of my EAS Body-for-life transformation. I won't be doing any rigorous weight training until next week. I'm still adjusting to my new low carb diet that I started.
Yesterday, I consumed 1740 calories with a macronutrient range of 10/60/30 (10% of calories came from carbs, 60% of calories came from protein, and 30% came from fats। I ate a low carb, high protein, and moderate-high fat diet.When on this type of diet, I usually feel dizzy and have low energy levels for the first few days. After being on this diet for a few days my body adjusts and I start feeling normal and energetic again. I will carb load every 4th day with healthy fibrous (e.g. fruits and vegetables). I don't carb load with starchy (e.g. wheat bread, wheat pasta, rice) carbs because they are harsh on my digestibe system. I ate a total of six small meals. I ate every three hours. The only supplements I took yesterday was whey, a multivitamin/mineral, fibersure, and CLA.
I performed an early morning cardio session. I did 30 minutes of low intensity-high resistance elliptical training burning only 285 calories. Like I stated earlier, I will perform my weight training routines when my body adjusts to my new nutrition regimen.
My measurements on 12-26-07 were:
Weight: 137lbs
Body fat: 14.8%
Chest: 36 inches
Waist 26.5 inches
Hips: 36 inches
Shoulders: 48 inches
Forearms: 9 inches
Thighs: 22 inches
Calves 13.5 inches
stomach skinfold caliper reading: 4.5mm
Suprailliac skinfold caliper reading: 4mm
I used the Accu-Measure fitness 3000 personal body fat tester that is recommended in Body-for-life, to measure skinfold thickness. I plan to take and post progress pics on January 5, 2008.
Honestly, I had a rough first day of the transformation. I was irritable, sleepy, and was wanting junk food. I even dreamed that I had cheated on my nutrition plan. I woke up feeling bad that I cheated, and realized that it was only a dream. Boy, do I have some issues. Bye-bye dark chocolate, hello six pack.
I have researched more about what EAS products I want to take, and I will commit to the following EAS supplements:
1. L-glutamine
2. Creatine (phosphagen)
3. CLA
