Hello readers:
Larry and I started on our quest. We had a cheat day on Sunday (thought we were going to fast because we were going to start the 7-day fat blasting - instead, we opted for the Fat Burning Hormone Diet). Monday rolled around and we had to make sure we had our body mass index and our lean body mass calculated to determine the calories we are to consume. You see, you MUST eat on this diet and eat five or six times a day beginning at 7 am and basically every two hours until dinner. We haven't gotten that organized thus far, but we are building up to it. Anyway, our calculations are:
Larry Pat
Measurements are in inches:
Weight 230 Weight 217
Neck 17" Neck 15.5"
Chest 44" Waist 40.5"
Abdomen 45" Hips 51"
Thighs 47.5"
Body Mass Index: 32.9" Body Mass Index: 34.2"
Fat Percentage: 31.9" Fat Percentage: 50.8%
Lean Body Mass: 156.63 Lean Body Mass: 104.30
Total Calories Allowed: Total Calories Allowed:
No Carb Day: 1723 No Carb Day: 1147
Low GI* Day: 1879 Low GI* Day: 1252
High GI* Day: 2036 High GI* Day: 1356
*GI = Glycemic Index
You have the Glycemic Index (GI) of food and then you have a Glycemic Load (GL):
Glycemic Index:
<55 - Low
55 -70 - Moderate
>70 - High
To check out the numerical value of a food's GI or GL, you can go to this site:
Glycemic Load:
<10 - Low
10-20 - Moderate
>20 - High
This written diet plan figures ALL of this out for you giving you a list of acceptable foods under these categories; however, if there is a food you would like to know where it lies on the scale, you can go to the website above.
As for week one, two and three, we are in the "priming stage" of the plan and week one is - no carbs on the acceptable carb list. So, we are eating a lot of grilled chicken, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, asparagus, broccoli, pork, salad and our fats. Again, the lists on in the diet plan. We are drinking a shake for breakfast and lunch. Most vegetables are FREE to eat.
