Phase 1 weight loss

Posted by Chris on November 17, 2009

Time to get started. I found my calipers and it seems my Body fat% is getting dangerously close to 20%. I have been eating a lot and working out a lot to make good gains. But my diet wasn't anywhere near clean. So it was expected that i would gain some fat. In any case i don't want to shock my body and start cutting calories like crazy from one day to the other so I'm going to shift down in Phases.

Phase 1(this week) i will cut out most junk food while keeping calories slightly lower than before.

Phase 2 I will reduce calories by about 500 and cut out all junk food except on exceptions or 1 cheat day per week.

And Phase 3 i will adjust the calories up or down depending on the results of Phase 2.

The exercise side of thing will stay similar. I will still do my set of exercises mentioned in the last posts but i will add them to a modified P90X calendar so that i have the cardio covered.

Oh for reference as of writing this post i am 213lbs. I am taking pictures for self reference that i might post when its all done.
