Day 11 Results
Hi everyone. My second cycle wasn't as extreme as the first cycle in terms of weight lost. Btu in terms of measurements, I am a lot smaller!! In 5 days, I lost 0.2 lbs and 3 inches (0.5 inches from my waist!!). But In total, I've lost 5.6 lbs and 7 inches in 10 days!! Pretty impressive. I've lost more weight in a week before, but that was following a diet with no cheating or weight lifting. At first I was a bit down, since I am so caught up in the number on the scale. I mean, I've lost 11 lbs in 6 days before, so what gives? But lets put this in perspective:
1) I've been following this diet program for 10 days. Just a little over week. 2 of those days I cheated (real badly). And I lost nearly 6 lbs and 7 inches. 2 of those inches from my waist alone. And I am sure I gained some lean muscle mass.
2) I look a lot leaner, especially in my tummy and my arms. If you look close, you can see a 6 pack in my abs. ;-)
3) I've fasted for a whole day, twice. That is huge for me since I love food. I even fasted while cooking dinner for my family and didn't even taste what I cooked. This proves to be how dedicated I can be when I really want to accomplish something.
4) I've worked out 2-3 times a day for the past 10 days, lifting weights and body weighted exercise everyday. And I've gone outside my comfort zone by doing workouts I normally don't do.
5) I've followed the program to a "T".
6) The meals are easy to plan and follow. I am loving this way of eating and its making me more disciplined.
7) My scale dependency is reducing (this is huge for me) and the importance of measurements and looking in the mirror is increasing.
8) Someone who hasn't seen me for 2 weeks saw me today and said I look so much leaner and that the change was extremely noticeable.
9) And I get a day to go off 'dieting' to eat anything I want!! (did I say I love food??)
So, how can I be anything but proud of what I've accomplished over the past short 10 days? And boy, did the days fly by!!
Today is my cheat day (YEAH!!!), then I fast tomorrow.
I'm looking forward to my next 5 day cycle results!!

DAY 7
So today is the fast day and today's fast was way more difficult than the first one. Mainly because I am home today and not so busy, so I am constantly thinking about food, smelling food. In fact, I am cooking right now for my family, but I can't eat any. Talk about focus and determination! I am looking forward to tomorrow's shake day! The days are starting to go by quick now and I am finding this short term diet easy to follow.

DAY 6 - RESULTS and Cheat
So I woke up eager to take my measurements and weigh in. In 5 days (actually 4 when you exclude the cheat day) I lost 5.4 lbs and 4 inches!!! No bad, eh? I was overly aggressive hoping to lose 8 lbs, but this is good too and I am proud. I am hoping my next 5 day results are just as great.
Day 6 was Saturday and was a cheat day! And I sure did cheat. Funny thing is, I found I got full very quickly, much faster than normal. I guess my stomach is getting adjustment to less food now.
I skipped the workout today because I was exhausted. My body and brain just needed a break and to reset.
Although I lost 5 lbs and 4 inches, its not that noticeable.
Lets see how the next 5 days go,

DAY 5 - PROTEIN ONLY DAY
Hi everyone. I am a few days behind on my posts. But I have been following the program and will summarize the days I've already completed. Day 5 was on Friday and it was the last day of the 5 day cycle. It was protein only day where I could only eat protein and veggies. The urpose of this day to deplete gylcogen stores and prime your body for the cheat day. The wokout was same same as the fast day, except I workout twice, not 3 times.
Protein only day was not difficult at all, and I was looking forward to weigh in the following day and re-start the cycle with my cheat day.

Day 4 - MODERATE CARB UP DAY
Hey everyone. So my shake day went well. The only thing I can say is that I am now utterly exhausted. My body is sore from the new workouts. But mentally, I am more focused and determined to get through the remaining days.
Today was a moderate carb day, meaning I get to eat food, carbs for breakfast and mid-morning snack. My remaining meals are only protein, fat and veggies. It was funny how after not eating solids for 2 days, I actually wasn't interested in food today. I couldn't even finish my breakfast.
My workout this morning was Dynamic Training - which is a little less intense than the other workouts (but still challenging). Performing exercises like DEATH JUMP TO SQUAT JUMP sure does not sound less intense to me!! But this type of training was intentionally placed here to give my body a rest. Later in the evening I will do a 20 minute HIIT session using Turbo Fire.
Hmm, not much say to say today, I am just going day by day.
Tomorrow is PROTEIN DEPLETE DAY, and is the last day of the cycle. Then I repeat.
Keeping my eye on the prize,

Day 3 - SHAKE DAY
I have to say, I am very proud of myself. I stuck to my guns and fasted all day yesterday, drinking liters of water and some green tea. And I worked out 3 times! It wasn't as bad as I expected and I wasn't too hungry. But funny thing, someone who didn't know I was fasting offered me coffee and a donut yesterday (bad timing, huh?). I kindly refused. They insisted. Again, I said no thanks. They asked why. I said I'm good, but you go ahead and enjoy. They asked one more time. I almost yelled NO! But yep, I stuck to my guns and just sipped on water. This morning I woke up feel refreshed and light, and my tummy wasn't growling either. In addition, my tummy felt quite flat (especially compared to the prior day cheating).
The fast day was challenging, but now that I've completed it successfully, I am so much stronger and I know I can handle anything.
Today is Shake Day. I have to consume 5 protein shakes (3 of them are blended with fruit), and in between if I am hungry I can snack on veggies. For workouts, I have to perform a Strength Training circuit (heavy lifting with low reps) and low intensity cardio in the evening. The strength training workout was tough after more that 36 hours of fasting (including sleep) but I made it through in 45 minutes.
What I like about this diet is that everyday is different so although its mentally tough, you take it one day at a time.
Tomorrow is a MODERATE CARB UP DAY, so I can eat bread, potatoes and meat. Yah!!!

Day 2 - FAST DAY
Hi folks. So I finished off yesterday's cheat day with a sushi lunch, cookies and a couple more cinnabons. I actually felt really gross. For my next Cheat day, I don't think I will eat so much junk!!!
So today is a FAST DAY, and basically that means I can't eat anything at all. The only thing I can drink is water and green tea. I also have to take BCAAs (amino acids) to ensure that I don't burn muscle during my fast day. That's all. In addition, I have to workout 3 times today. So I started off the morning with workout #1 - Lactic Acid Training. This was a 55 minute workout consisting of lifting weights up very slow and bringing it down quickly. The goal is to create lactic acid in your muscles so that the human growth hormone is released quickly, to help boost fat loss. Lots of strategy and science behind it. My second workout will be HIIT cardio, which I will do later today. I will do Turbo Fire HITT 15. The last workout will be in the evening, and it will be slow steady state cardio. So I will walk on the treadmill at maximum incline for 30 minutes. Now as I type this I wonder if I will have the energy to perform all of this?? Well that why the cheat day is strategically placed the day before the fast day (to increase leptin levels so that on you fast day, your drop a ton of weight). Let's see how it goes, so far I feel OK, and little hungry, but I think its all in my head right now.
Tomorrow will be a SHAKE DAY. OK, I can do this!
Cheers,

Day 1: Xtreme Fat Loss Diet (25 days)
Hi everyone. So today embarks my 25 Day Xtreme Fat Loss Challenge. I started the morning by weighing in (I don't suggest you do this right after Halloween!!), recording my measurements, and taking before pics in a bikini.
Today's diet is a CHEAT DAY. I know…how in the hell do you start a fat loss diet by cheating, right? Well that is the plan and there is a method to the madness and science to back it up. You strategically cheat every 5 days to increase your leptin hormone, so that you can burn more fat. What’s a cheat day? You eat ANYTHING you want, without stuffing yourself. Only thing is no alcohol. In addition, you have to workout doing DENSITY training. Density training is based on circuits - you perform 2 circuits, but the second circuit you lift 10-20% heavier weights. The workout was intense and I finished in 40 minutes (I still feel out of breathe as I type this).
So I started the morning off with gluttony:
Post workout shake
Caramel pecan cinnabon
Extra large coffee with sugar and cream, breakfast sausage sandwich
Lunch might be sushi, maybe a couple cookies for snacks, and more halloween candy. Not sure on dinner as yet. Just typing all this sound gross!!!
I don’t plan on weighing myself or taking pictures and measurements until day 5, which is Saturday. My mini goal is to lose 8 lbs by Saturday. Tomorrow diet calls for a FAST day and 3 workouts!!! Yikes. I will tell you more about it tomorrow.
Happily cheating,
Coach Monney
