Spring 2010: The Diet Adapts

I always am experimenting with my diet and altering everything that goes into my mouth and what I'm doing with my exercise plan. In an effort to avoid allergens I am once again, altering my diet. I tried having a whole "cheat day" once a week and it did not work for me at all. I use Fitday.com to help me calculate my macronutrients.

This is what I'm eating:

High Fat: Olive oil, coconut oil, and butter

Low Carb: 30-50 grams per day

Calorie Cycled: 1300-1900 calories per day.

This is what I'm not eating:

Soy

Nuts

Dairy

Grain

Gluten

Legumes

My eats:

Low Calorie day:

Pre Workout: 1 hard boiled egg

Post Workout: 1 scrambled egg, 1 tbsp. butter, 1 c. blackberries

Lunch: Avocado Salad with olive oil or 1 cup stir fry vegetables in coconut oil

and protein 3 oz.

Dinner: Sauteed vegetable or vegetable soup or stir fry with olive oil and protein 3 oz.

The exercise plan: in 2008 I was successful in my weight loss when I was focusing on cardio and yoga. I have decided to go back to that rotation. At that time I was also aiming for 60 minutes in my THR. That seems like a good plan. Over the winter I had dropped back to just 30 minutes per workout in my THR. I don't think thats enough to lose weight. I'm going to increase my cardio. I had also been doing more yoga. Over the winter, I was doing about 2-3 yoga sessions a week. I think that needs to be closer to 4-5.

This is my new rotation:

Sunday: Long jog or MMA Boxing, 1 hour Gary Bromley yoga

Monday: off

Tuesday: Step, Yoga Today

Wednesday: Jog or HIIT, 1 hour Gary Bromley yoga

Thursday: Step, Yoga (netflix dvd)

Friday: Jog or MMA, Kathy Smith Yoga Basics

Saturday: Step Circuit

Heres to this working !
