Weight Loss
I skipped a week of progress reports so I'll cover two weeks this time.
Two weeks ago I lost 1.59 pounds total. I gained 0.34 pounds of lean body mass and lost 1.93 pounds of fat.
Last week I lost 1.13 pounds total. I gained 0.07 pounds of lean body mass and lost 1.2 pounds of fat.
More Diet Changes
It's been 3 weeks since I started Body-for-Life. I feel better than I have in years. I think it is a combination of eating more protein, strength training, and eating 6 times a day.
But I want to pick up the pace of my weight loss again. I'm going to continue eating balanced meals, but I'm going to reduce the number of calories I'm eating. I'm shooting for 6 200 calorie meals a day.
My goal is to lose another 20-30 pounds of fat in the next 2 months while minimizing the amount of lean body mass I lose.
If I continue doing what I've done for the last 3 weeks I'd lose about 12 pounds of fat in 8 weeks. I want to double my fat loss to 3 pounds per week. That is about the rate I lost body fat the first 3 months of my diet. But I was also losing about 2 pounds of lean body mass per week. This time I want to maintain as much lean body mass as possible. I think the combination of eating adequate protein and strength training will let me do that. We shall see.
Here is my current 30 day weight chart and body fat chart:
