Getnfit's flab-reducing plan

[Tatyana]

Thanks NM
That totally makes sense. I am having to try to change my thinking about food.

m2: grilled chicken breast, with small salad (greens, tomatoes, couple pinches cheese, lite ranch .
m3: 1/2 c. cottage cheese, 4-5 strawberries.
m4: not very hungry... 1 small chicken fillet (tyson frozen with some breading over breast meat) about a handful of baked french fries. (just ate what everyone else ate) not the best choice.

Nelson is one clever cookie, he has been at the whole BBing thing for about 25 years now, and I have learned loads from him.

I love all the complicated science and detail, and I like to bounce things off him as he does have me look at the practical, big picture again.

So don't sweat the little details in each meal, start looking at the bigger overall picture, you are making changes to your lifestyle.

Cool, sounds like you are getting into a pattern.

After training the shake is essential, but then you also need another meal.

I am sure that what you want is too look good, and that is going to be about building muscle, which may mean that your weight may go up, but you will look a lot better.

I know a lot of this is new to you, and it is a lot to take in, but the idea is not to lose WEIGHT, but to lose bodyfat.

Dieting to lose 'WEIGHT' is a lose-lose situation, people who do this end up losing muscle and in the long term, putting on more weight after they come off their diets.

People who put on muscle and focus on keeping the bodyfat low end up looking fabulous and fit, and it is far easier to maintain a healthy, lean physique.

Well I hope that loss was fat

m1: 2 eggs(1 yolk), 1/2 c. oats(same as usual)
water
m2: 14 almonds
m3: can chicken, 1 c. brown rice, diet coke
m4: peanut and sunflower seed bar *yummy*
m5: low carb hi fiber tortilla with salmon and mozzerella(maybe 1/4 c.) brocolli n cauliflower *cooked* with a little butter, diet soda...(out of bottled h20 )

Did some glute exercises tonight. "lying straight leg glute press" basically laid belly down and raised legs feet apart up. 3/20
"stability ball leg lunge" 3/12 ea. leg
squats 6/12 w/2 10 lb dbs.
had a glass of water during

There are ways to track it, there are cheap and easy to use calipers called accumeasure.


That way you have a better idea rather than hoping

Or you could take digital pictures and use a tape measure.

Trust me when I tell you that these are far more accurate indicators of progress than most any other method, better still YOU DONT NEED ANY SPECIAL TRAINING or KNOW HOW about how to use them!

Hey, it sounds like you're getting into this new lifestyle-- FANTASTIC!


Personally, I'd focus on your new eating habbits and training for a bit before I started doing any measuring of anything. I see so many who become defeated if those "number's" are NOT what they THINK they should be. Give it another few weeks. Just my 2 cents.

Keep up the great work!
