diet/training
i was going to add this to the first post, but apparently it has been more than 1440 minutes.
At the suggestion of HI(HighIntensity), this is my brief overview of what I've been doing as far as diet and training, which I started following rigoursly about 5 weeks ago:
DIET:
A fairly clean diet, and something I can live with which conisists of low fat, high good-quality protein, and moderate, complex carbs....something like 45%P/40%C/15%F, TRYING to eat 5-6 small meals a day. (It's hard tho because I'm also taking xenadrine which kills my appetite.)
TRAINING:
Basically I have been sticking with something like:
Day 1: cardio (HIIT)
Day 2: bi/tri/chest
Day 3: cardio
Day 4: lower body/abs
Day 5: cardio (HIIT)
Day 6: bi/tri/back
Day 7: abs/rest
Alternating the frequency of upper vs. lower body from week to week. I've seen pretty good results with this because with my body type, I don't have to work all that hard to gain muscle. I know I could do even better, but this is what I've been able to live with and incorporate into my life without me whining and complaining. I've learned from past experience, that I will just skip the entire workout if it becomes something that is more cumbersome to me rather than something that I look forward to and enjoy.
