Ok, so I’m deciding to do Fat Fast again. I’m actually at a weight that I need to be, but I would like a 10 pound or so cushion (meaning being under my max by ten pounds). Also, The Marine Birthday Ball is in about a month (Nov 5) and I’d like my alphas to be a little looser, plus, I feel the need to be a little hardcore, for some reason. So this will be my log.
Goal: Lose 10 lbs in 3 weeks.
Plan: Diet is bwx13/2(200x13=2600/2=1300 a day).
Training is Full body lifting 3x a week, 2-3 sets of 6-8 reps. Cardio will be one hour of incline walking everyday. Supps. I usually use caffeine and Yohimbine, but I do have a bottle of HOT-ROX (original) that I’ll give a whirl. It fits in nicely for three weeks. We’ll see if it makes a noticable difference in fat loss through any of the purported mechanisms. I’ll post the first log entry by the end of the day (it’s 7:30am Friday for me).
HIIT is not a great idea for a vlcd. Would burn out too quick. I’ll see how the running goes, but not much more than a slow jog. I don’t think anything’s magical, I bought it awhile ago and never used it. Might as well give it a go and see if it adds anything to the program. If it even just suppresses the appetite, that’d be good enough for me.
Diet: ~1200 calories
Training: Full body 2x. Did one full body workout of 3x15, then repeated. Will do the same tomorrow with 30-60’ of incline walking in the morning.

No it’s not…
Lowering the cardio is not necessarily better. Cardio increases your metabolism, dieting decreases it…[/quote]
From what I’ve been noticing and reading on different sites, Cardio will suppress your metabolism quicker, at least at deficeit (sp).
Again, I would have normally agreed, but from some recent people’s experiments, as well as other research quoted by many, the higher the bodyfat, the more it’s burned while sparing muscle at a large caloric cut, even during a fast. Fun, no, but doable, it’s looking like it.
Not trying to argue, just some of the reasoning why I’ve decided to do this.
Had to ease off the fat fast, had a run that came up out of nowwhere, and didn’t want to do it in such a fasted state. Just ate some good carbs. I’m back on to the fat fast tonight, just ingested my last regular calorie carb meal.
Training: Full body, 2 sets of 6. Will increase the weights next workout.
Since I’ll just be dropping water weight these next three days or so, I’ll give a end of week one weight. I started last week at 205 and don’t think I have lost or gained any.
