Enjoy your reading:
My daily menu is setup as follows:
5 shakes (40g protein+ 30g flax), vitamin/nutritional supplements - vitamin c, "daily vitamin", Omega 3 capsules and Calcium. Will allow any amount of black coffee or tea, and on training days 2-3 bananas, Gainomax or a Powerade or two (250 kcal)
This will give me the intended 1300-1550 kcal depending on exercise.
(Start date 2008.01.16 )
Day 1: 4 shakes, 3 of them with flax. No reaction whatsoever on body or system, 3h thai and two Gatorades for some 250 kcal of carbo during workout. Should sum up to some 1150 kcal
Morning weigh in: 78.5 kg (average weight this winter ~80 kg)
Day 2: 5 shakes all with the flax, passive day exercisewise - 1h dancing
A slight headache could be felt over the course of the evening but nothing that worries.
5 shakes á 40g + 5 servings of flax seeds = 750+550 kcal = 1300 kcal.
Morning weigh in: 76.2 kg (slightly dehydrated)
Day 3: first shake down, and today will be a challenge. Plan to attend a birthday party in the evening and not sure how the reception will be of me neither boozing nor eating. But I have some tricks - Coke light and Göteborgs Rapè No2 - Lingonberry. Party Party!
The body and mind are all fine, slight sensation of headache and a light dizziness but the mind is still set and I don't really have an urge yet to sink my teeths in a beef or just grab a snack.
Morning weigh in: 75.4 kg
Day 4: will have my eating day - the diet don't have one to start with, but recommendations from the gym and logic from my side will see it. The recommendations would be based on the fact that eating one day, preferably unsound with chocolate and other stuff, would boost the absorption on the other days and prevent starvation mode. The logic is even more down to earth - going to both grandma's and mother's place and I can't really see myself n o t eat there.
Summing up day 4 it wasn't anything extraordinary for a saturday - sandwiches + two hot dogs (~650 kcal?), two semlor (some 700 kcal), mum's great autumn stew with potatoe and cauliflower (600 kcal?), some 250g of chocolate (1250 kcal) and an ale (200 kcal)
Summing up to some 3500 kcal.
Day 5: back on the shakes again. starting the day with some 2h timberjacking, continuing with some 4h walking/photographing. 4 shakes, 1 bar. Weighing in at 76.2 kg despite yesterday's eating. And neither getting back to eating or back again on to the shakes was any problems for the system.
Summing upto some 1200 kcal
Day 6: monday, back at work. 4 shakes, 1 Powerade, 1 Gainomax. 0.75h of weightlifting and 2h thai. Summing upto some 1350 kcalWeighing in at 76.1 kg
Day 6: 4 shakes ( 3 with flax), a bar, a slight detour to RealFood for a Scampi-Coriander-Bulgur meal, a delicious one as well, and a sidestep to Netto for a 100 g chocolate
Summing upto some ~2250 kcal. Weighing in at. 75.9 kg. Training was limited to walking to the office and back and an hour'a'half of dancing.
Day 7: Weighing in at 74.9 kg after a coffee and a morning run.
5 shakes and a bar + powerade & gainomax during 3 h thai. Some 1800 kcal - anything less woulda killed me.
Day 8: *today* planning shakes + thai. Weighting in at 75.0 kg
Day 9: *friday* shakes+thai
Day 10: *saturday* back to eating - at least lunch + squash/thai
Day 11: *sunday* back to eating - at least dinner + superhealthybreakfast + a day in the woods
Day 12-18: Thai-prep, protein heavy mon-wed. Carbo heavy thur-sat. Fight fight
Day 20: should weigh in less than 78 kg, hopefully closer to 76.
Downsides:
- slight headache that comes with the low level of energy
- all sorts of exercise gives a lot more pulse and rush
Positives:
- stomach hasn't reacted at all as I feared
- hunger isn't an issue
- fantasizing on eating isn't either ...
