Time for detox

| No Comments
With all these extra supplements, protein shakes and 6 meals a day, it's important to give your insides a break. It's also important to keep on top of your body fat levels.
  At first I had planned a 1 day a week detox. It worked well at first, but when I started to increase my weight training it seemed to be effecting my muscle gains to much. (The idea of drastically cutting my diet while my muscles were still aching and repairing wasn't good).

So now I've switched to a 3 day a month detox.

I weighed myself this morning at 15st 4pounds (naked weight) and the Fat analyser gave me a 16.4% body fat.

I ate nothing all day, in the evening I did 30mins on the cross trainer, then 30mins on the bike. At night I'd usually have some mixed veg and a small tin of tuna (very lean protein). But today I had some dental work, so instead I had a tin of Weight Watchers Carrot & Lentil Soup (healthiest I could find in the shop) and mixed in the small tin of tuna. If that doesn't sound appealing, don't worry, at this point pretty much anything tastes good.

For the next two days it'll be nothing but fresh fruit and veg (no carby veg such as potatoes).

It's important to keep active, tomorrow I'll fit in running (cross trainer if it's raining) and swimming. Now there is very little food going into my body, and I've spent the day burning up what I ate yesterday, to keep going my body is forced to use the reserves, forced to burn fat.

From experience with these crash/detox diets before I've found it's important to take a good multi vitamin.

I'll update in a couple of days with my weight and fat %.
