I will be dieting in 3 week phases. This first phase, my calories will remain low (under 1200) and I will substitute my carbohydrates for substantial, enduring ones i.e. bread & pasta for sweet potatoes and oatmeal. Also, I will refrain from any cheat meals during this first 3 week period. Cardio will consist of 5, 30 minute sessions per week and weight training full body 3x a week for one hour.
My focus is on recharging my metabolism. I feel by dropping my calories really low, it will give me the opportunity to see how my body responds. Will I become hungry? Should I add in a meal or two? Ideally, after the first 3 weeks, I would like to add in a small amount of calories. However, I may have to wait until week 6 to do this. I have a feeling my body will be slow to respond.
If, indeed, this fails and I have NO results to show for dieting....well then I will order a saliva test to re-test my hormones.
So my goals over the next 3 weeks:
To become hungry every 3-4 hours (in between meals)
To become hot and possibly even sweat while eating
To drop 5lbs of water weight and fat
To be able to slowly increase my calories
