Going to keep a log for the next 8 weeks, mainly for me to keep myself on track. starting 14th July.
My maintenance cals are 2500 per day. (Will adjust to lose 1-2lbs of fat each week)
Ill be cutting with 2500 cals of food and 3500 cals of MISS cardio a week (500 cals each day). This with the T3 and high cals should be great for losing fat and keeping muscle.
Ill be using HIT style weight training for this over a 4 day split. Training Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
Split is chest/bis, back, legs and shoulders/tris. Abs 2 x a week on top.
Ill be having 200 grams of protein each day hitting the 2000 cals, the rest of the cals will be from whatever, not stressing over the details just hitting the numbers day in day out. If i stall i will lower cals.
Everyday ill have 6 gram fish oil, Multi-Vit, 10000 i.u vit D, 2 piece of fruit, 3 piece of veg (ill not count veg in my cals) and plenty of water!!
Ill be taking 50mcg of T3 for 6 of the 8 weeks.
I will follow a type of intermittent fasting, eating a little protein and fats after a.m training and the rest of my cals at night (no other reason than i like to eat at night) if i start feeling hunger cravings i will switch up to eating keto style and lower my protein a bit, cut carbs and up fats BUT still hitting the 2000 cals (or 1800 cals if i stall)
I have three re-feed days planned or cheat days or lazy days or whatever the feck you want to call them! (no other reason than im going to be at family or friends parties,weddings etc, that i cant wriggle out of! ha!) ill be drinking for one of these, the other two i will not.
Ill keep track of my weight and the mirror, main goal is to lose as much fat weight as possible before my first blast. I havent trained in two weeks, I have been on holiday and resting my golfers elbow injury. Ive not been dieting either on holiday. So my first weigh in will be in 10 days, enough time to get rid of the water weight. Target is to lose at least 16 lbs.
Ill report in each day to give a brief description of my diet and training.
Cheers.
