Howdy folks,

So, in keeping with the gym theme, I figured I’d let you know how I’ve been getting on in the first 3 weeks
The initial week of the new diet was murder. I was tired all the time due to the High protein diet. My poor little body was hunting for carbs and sugars, and in the event of finding none decided it should have a shut down and force wee naps on me. I chatted with Dave, who assured me it would be fine after a week. It was, but because my partner had come home, all diets were literally thrown out the window and put on hold. My gym time was down to a minimum , but my brick work (part time job) made up for that.

By the time the second reading was due, I was panicking that I had reversed all efforts of the first week. I was wrong ;)
Below is the new update. Needless to say I was a little floored…

So, the stats:-

Height ~165cm
Weight ~ 54.3kg (Normal Range: 54 – 60kg)
Body Lean ~ 42.1kg (Normal Range: 42 – 45kg) <–that’s muscle
Body Water ~ 57.3% (Normal Range – 50 – 60%)

Basic Metabolic Rate / Rest ~ 1446kcal/day (exactly what it should be)
Average Daily Calories Req ~ 2314kcal/day

Here’s the clincher in both weight and percent
Body Fat ~ 12.2kg (Normal Range: 12 – 15kg)
Body Fat ~ 22.5% (Normal Range: 21 – 27kg)

The new goal is:-

Lose 3kg of Body Fat – 1kg/w
Increase 1kilos of muscle – 333grams/w

Getting there, eh ;)
