How insane is this diet? I’m going to watch the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs this weekend with no beer. I’m not even going to have a beer when the Vikings send the red hot Cowboys down in flames! That’s how insane it is.
Actually, after a few early cravings it hasn’t been difficult at all to stay on diet. Of course we are technically eating too high a percentage of meat if this was a serious push at weight loss. Including a serious assault on the world’s strategic bacon reserve (it was on sale!).They say it’s better to shave the weight off slowly in a sustainable manner anyway.
So here they are:
------------------------------------shmuck---------athlete
Weight------------------------------199.0----------199.2
Body fat %--------------------------21.6-----------13.9
Hydration %----------------------53.4-----------57.5
Muscle mass----------------------148.2----------163.2
Base Metabolic Rate ------------2075---------2266
Metabolic Age---------------------39-------------16
Bone Mass-------------------------7.6-----------8.4
So at the week two mark I’d have to say I’m seeing a positive trend and given the limited increase in my physical activity I am ready to attribute it to the diet. I’ve exercised six times since starting the diet - if you count 11 push-ups as a workout. So while the athlete numbers say I’m in decent shape somehow I don’t think 11 push-ups qualify me as an athlete. Maybe a curler? Hey, it’s an Olympic sport…
