well i figured i'd give an update. In 7 weeks, i managed to lose 23 pounds. strength is slightly off. my set of 7 is now a set of 5 and so on, i havnt had to lower any weights. some exercises i have even improved in. the hammer machines i still go up in and back exerceises i keep improving.
I would say 80 percent of that weight is fat and 19 percent is water and glycogen loss.
this is my first time doing this so i will probably take longer than it ever will again.
My biggest mistake i made is not cheating. I thought i'd be all hardcore enough to handle it. but no way. for the last 3 weeks, i have been eating junkfood about every day, which really hasnt cause me to go backwards, but progress has been non existent for hte last 3 weeks. thats an absolute bitch of a fact to deal with, that i just completely wasted 3 weeks. but hey, this is my first time around, i figured somthing like this would happen, and its a great thing that i learned, its good that i leanred that at a young age. next time, wont happen again. i basically got to where i am now, i am guessing about 13 percent body fat ( i can see a bit of an outline in my lower abbs) by following my diet half ass (lol, i have been eating all the damn egg whites and oatmeal, but junk to).
I am now starting a cheat meal once a week again. this is the first week that i have started doing this plan 100 percent faithfully (no daily cheating) i i can already feel the power of this beast of a plan, i feel like my body is in fat burning over drive. progress seems to be made daily when things are perfect like they are now.
the carb up days work great. consisting of 200 grams of carbs from oatmeal. i feel they are responsible for not sliding backwards in strength. My body is kind of different. i dont need very many carbs. in fact, i feel when i go back to gaining muscle at the most dramatic rate possible, all i will need is 100-150 grams of carbs to have glycogen 100 percent full.
all in all, i feel like i can be at about 10 percent 3 weeks from now, maybe 4
just wanted to give a shout out to the people who showed me the light. man i was kinda stubborn and t hickheaded for a while about the milk and pasta. now that i got my shit together (not eating cheat meals every single day), i should be there in no time. then i can finally get back to massing while maintaining low levels of bf. a dream come true
