I started my new challenge today and so far it is going great.
The only thing bad so far is the cost of the vitamins I had to buy - quite high, but I figure I could at least go all of the way and see what happens.
The mealplans of this new challenge is fairly similar to that of Body for life (BFL) with the main difference being the fact that yogurt and milk are seen as proteins and not carbs as with BFL.
Basics of my mealplans:
- I must eat 6 times a day, with about 5 hours between the main meals, i.e. I will be eating something every 2,5 hours.
- Each meal consists of a protein plus fruit/veg. Some meals have starches also (morning and afternoon), some don't (late afternoon and evening).
- Meals are low GI.
- I MUST drink 2 - 3 litres of water per day.
- I MUST get between 6 - 8 hours of sleep per day.
- Vitamins to be taken: multi-vitamin, Omega 3 & 6 supplement
- Additional things: fat burner and CLA
- MUST do 30 minutes of exercise per day, but it could be as simple as walking.
- For the first week I have to weigh my food so I can learn about portion sizes.
Well, that's it in a nutshell.
