So I finalllly got a break fro college to post my seven day slim down result.....
Lets start with the actual stats of what I lost:
In 7 days I managed to loose 2kgs which I felt was pretty impressive!
Given that I didn't push it to an hour a day of cardio and I also managed to sneak in a few coffee's I was impressed!
My legs muscles feel very solid as do my abs!
I also don't know what muscle mass or fat mass I lost/gained over the week as we don't have a (cheap) body fat calculating facility in Cork!
Here are a few after pictures ;) ( I was after lunch so excuse the abs :P)
So lets start with the pro's :)
- The diet allowed you 5 meals a day at regular intervals which I liked as I wasn't starving throughout the day
- By following the steps it really made you take notice of what you actually normally eat through out the day!
- I generally had enough energy to do hard gym sessions and didn't feel particularly weak
- I lost 2kg's (most importantly :P)
- Now that I've finished the plan I don't crave unhealthy foods as much!
And now the con's :(
- Around day 3 and 4 I felt really drained and tired and I'm not sure was that the diet or the fact that I was sick with a headcold!
- Meal prepping took A LOT of time! I had to know what I was going to eat a day in advance!
- 2 workouts a day was also time consuming! they were difficult to fit in around college and study but I usually had to wake up super early to fit one in!
- My muscles got really stiff half way through the week and this held me back from the gym I wanted to do!
- It was expensive to buy lots of fruit and veg on the diet plan! I recommend using more seasonal green's that are cheaper!
Now the main question..
Would I do it again?
To be honest I probably would! I mean I lost weight, I wasn't too miserable and it was a balanced healthy diet
Would I do it soon? not a chance!
You need to have a lot of spare time to fit in the workouts and meal prep but I would defiantly do it again in the future! ( maybe pre-summer holiday detox?)
Well that it really! Challenge completed!
