SeventhDay Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Well... after great results on my last juice fast, I decided to go on another one. Once I get pretty low bf% I am going to start hitting the weights hard. In the meantime I am going to study on a proper routine including compound lifts, nutrition, and of course... my Bible where God instituted the vegan diet from the beginning. On this " Juice Fast " I will be having 1 smoothie a day ( ideally with some sort of protein powder ) to make sure that my digestive system doesn't come to a screeching halt. I will be logging my weight each day, and if I can afford the protein powder I will also be doing some slight lifting which I will log in here also. I will post my weight either tomorrow or the next day; today I have to much food and liquid in me to give a proper weight. GOAL: Cut down to fairly low bf% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeventhDay Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Thanks SunWarrior . I can already tell this juice fast is going to be much easier and more pleasant then the last few. I feel greatand am excited to see where this goes... Day 2: 171.6 P.S. First few days I should lose "weight" rapidly, due to stored food and whatever other junk is in there coming out.I expect to lose it quickly until about 165-167.

SeventhDay Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Okay, so I dropped the fast and picked up something new. Here is my new plan. Intermittent fasting + high carb low fat diet. ( cooked )I will not be using any oils or added sodium, and the mainparts of my meals will be starches. Saturdays will be my cheat days because we have a large potluck after church and I wouldhate to miss out . This has to be something I can continue to do, so the cheat day should help. Intermittent fasting from 8pm to 12pm the following day, or 9pm to 1pm the following day.Before I break the fast I will do cardio and lifting, followed by a meal that is ~ 60% the caloriesI need for the day, then a meal or two later on in the day before 8 or 9.

veggiesasquatch Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Have you looked over at leangains for I.F? Bigger eating window, you would break the fast 13:00 till 21:00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeventhDay Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Yeah that's the one I'm doing. 16 hours fasting, 8 hour eating window. Have you done I.F. before ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeventhDay Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Today I ate...1 cup of steamed white rice + half a large onion, cabbage, garlic and carrots heated + steamed in some water on the stove. 3/4 lb of pasta + 1 can of diced tomato and 3/4 a can of black olives. No oill + no added sodium. Oddly enough, I feel so so so so much better eating more simple. High Carbs + low fat, no oil and low sodium, has me full of energy all throughout the day and I am very clear minded.... I'm losing weight + seeing more definition in my body due to getting the sodium out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeventhDay Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Wednesday Workout4x8 on all excercisesPush-ups DB Rows : 35 lbsMilitary Press : 30 lbsTricep Extensions : 20 lbsDB Side Bends : 35 lbs I'm weak right now... but I'm also cutting weight, and doing these workouts in a fasted state. Now I'm off to go get some grub, cheers. Edit: Being its the 4th of July, I'm not even going to mention what I ate. Although I am lucky my church are Adventists and we follow a vegan diet, so the party I went to wasn't to bad. Definitely some junk vegan food that I indulged in lol.
