Today would usually be a weight day but the other day I said I was going to reduce the use of weights to hit my target off a stone in phase one and it was also my mums birthday and I took her out to eat so increased the cardio to counter it, I knew I was going to be eating a fair bit AND FOR NO REASON SHOULD YOU NOT CELEBRATE A LOVED ONES BIRTHDAY! Your making a change in you life and with all the hard work you put in a night off is not going to hurt you, you may think about your meal a bit more wisely than you would before like tonight we went to a Mexican restaurant and instead off chips / fries I had rice and black eyes peas, and the flavours were amazing I enjoyed it all that much more and it was filling I didn't need the sides that I would usually, but at no point did I feel bad about it or think maybe I shouldn't and I hope you don't either, there are always going to be times to enjoy and you should and I hope you do it's one meal.

I had Mexican spring rolls the start and BBQ chicken Bareito with rice and black eye peas with loads off hot sauce / chilli sauce which is one off a thermogenice foods and a sprit, but yeah going on abit I know I just want you to be happy with what you are doing and I know some people can be hard on them selfs and I don't want you to be life is to be enjoyed so please do.

Exercise:

So knowing I was going out to eat an not knowing what I was going to have when I had a moment to myself I did a lil prep and did some cardio and ab work

15 minuets stretching
130 sit ups
Rowing 5mins 1172m

The rowing was new to the system and was a challenge was sweating almost instantly and was a great all over work out, I to look forward to phase two to add it in but I'm still in phase one and that's shifting weight, and I'm shore I will fill it tomorrow, as it ha been a while doing rowing so was slow and steady.

Day twenty three, week four, phase one

So today I started a review on the slimming belts that I listed in the "WHAT YOU MAY NEED" section and today I focused on cardio with out it on and during the week ill do the same with it on. And reduced the weight lifting but fit a few in just for good measure.

Exercise:
15 minuets stretch
130 sit ups

30 minuets run
30 minuets cross trainer

4 x 15 shoulder press
4 x 15 side cable pulls
4 x 15 forward cable pulls

Food and meals:
Breakfast - bran flakes
Lunch - ham and cheese sandwich
Dinner - bolognese mix (no pasta)
Snakes - bran flakes

Day twenty two, week four, phase one

Well today has been a good result after the cabbage soup diet. The scales could make its mind up if it was 13.7.4

or if it was 13.7

It flickered between the two each time I stood on it, my self I could believe that it was exactly 6lb since last week its never exactly to a point so I stood on it time after time and it flicked between the two, its down to you which one you want to accept but for fairness of the phone in my hand taken away I'm going with 5.6lb. Because thats a bigger lose than the two precious weeks added together, and a total of 10.2lb over all.

If you are up the larger end of the scale you can see results of 10lb to 12lb in a week, it's a great lil slimmer BUT PLEASE REMEMBER ITS NOT A LONG TERM DIET, and with that said don't be put off that the following you don't lose as much, IT CAN RETURN AS QUICK AS IT COMES OFF if you don't maintain the consistency off your diet. This week ill return to the bran flakes and salads and show you a ratatouille that I created after trying the cabbage soup once before.

Now my body has adapted as I have mentioned many times before, my blood has settled with the changes and my body should be burning both body fat as well as visceral fats (if there is any more visceral fats left to burn) ready for phase two "cutting in" and hope that in the next week although the scale want drop much the visual look of body fat will continue to reduce.

Food and meals:
Breakfast - bran flakes
Lunch - ham and cheese sandwich (I had mayo yes I did, the one thing I craved was a sandwich so I enjoyed every mouth full)
Dinner - large bowl of bran flakes ( the sandwich was so filling after the last week I wasn't all that hungry)

Exercise:
After doing the cabbage soup and with a week left till phase two, I know it will be hard to shift the same amount off weight again, so I'm going to reduce the weights and and increase the cardio for two reasons, one any carbs will be crabbed and stored the moment you digest them and two I'm going to eat carbs as in phase to I am going to be following a cave man diet aka the palmo diet which means no carbs or dairy, so im going to make the most of them now whilst I can but as healthy as I can.

There is always a point where you reach a steady weight and mine is 13st, 12.5st was hard to reach when I did it before and for my hight and natural build didn't look right and you have to decide if you want to be a cardio trainer, muscle builder or athletic build and as I fight I have chosen athletic hence the cardio and weights but this phase is to help and encourage weight lose so will continue to lose weight for the next week........... But after today as its legs day NEVER MISS A LEGS DAY!

Exercise:
15 mind stretch
30 minute run
30 minute cross trainer

130 sit ups

4 x 15 leg extension 20kg
4 x 15 calf extension 55kg

REST DAY

Today was my rest day but I just wanted cover the last off The cabbage soup diet as it was the last day

Day Seven:

Brown rice,unsweetened fruit juices and vegetables: Again stuff, stuff, stuffyourself. Be sure to eat your soup at least once this day.

I had two bowls of soup which were blended one with the rice and one without. I had white rice instead off brown rice today and it was filling, and I avoided fruit juice and stuck with my lime juice.

I managed to make it through the week better than I thought, It is a tough one and only tomorrow will tell how well it has worked. I feel lighter on my feet and a I can notice a difference with my shape but look forward to tomorrows weigh in.

Day twenty, week three, phase one

Today was day six of the soup diet,

Day Six:

Beef and Vegetables: Eat to your heart’s content of beef and vegetables this day. Youcan even have 2 or 3 steaks if you like, with leafy green vegetables. NoBaked Potato. Eat your soup at least once.

I had to make a fresh batch of soup but as there is only today and tomorrow left I only made a small amount to see me through using less of some things that can be used on Monday for some thing else. to change up the varity of the soup again I blended it today giving it a whole new texture for the final push over the last days, you do feel like not eating as its hard to bring your self to want to eat any more but this did help and from doing this diet before I expected it hence mentioning leaving the season's such as spice out to add on a different day. I had beef but didn't feel the cravings for it like yesterday.

I will be honest with you I came home and there was a deli cook chicken on the side and I had a leg and breast, I eat it like it was the last chicken there was it smelt so good and I was hungry so I eat it, there no point not saying because there is no need to hide it from you, its not like its bad to eat chicken and I didn't go crazy and strip to the bone, I smelt it - wanted it - ate it! and there you go.

Today I mixed it up and made the most of my time today by mixing my max out with a little cardio, giving me more time to lift some weights.

Food:

Day Five:
Beef And Tomatoes: Ten to twenty ounces of beef and up to six fresh tomatoes. Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water this day to wash the uric acid from your body. Eat your soup at least once this day. You may eat broiled or baked chicken instead of beef (but absolutely no skin-on chicken). If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for beef on one of the beef days (but not both).

I simply got the other half of beef joint out off the freeze and once it was defrosted I cut stakes out of it, it was so good to have meat, doing a water based diet plan like this it helps you appreciate the other foods with a bit off mustard (not in the plan but a thermogenic food group) made the taste all that much enjoyably. I ran out off soup and with no time to make any more I had it with boil Savoy cabbage and carrots and ill make another batch tomorrow, I also had 3 off the 6 tomatoes that we could have but haven't felt hungry enough to eat them all so the rest will get dropped I to tomorrow's soup.

Iv drunk a lot of water today to help flush as it states and feel good for it.

Day eighteen, week three, phase one

Quick one today just to cover it.

Today was day four of the cabbage soup diet

Day Four:
Bananas and Skim Milk: Eat as many as eight bananas and drink as many glasses of skim milk as you would like on this day, along with your soup. This day is supposed to lessen your desire for sweets.

Today I ran oI finished of the soup with alot of chilli flakes and made the most off the milk and bananas. 5 bananas and almost 4 pints off semi skimmed milk, went down well and defiantly helped the sweet cravings. Im defiantly looking forward to having some meat.

So today I finally managed to do my legs, and made the most off it.

Day seventeen, week three, phase one

So today was a race against the clock, I got called back into work today not long after I finished my original shift, but when we are needed we are needed so be it, I cant stress enough that its ok to miss days (not legs) or change days to fit around you, the decision to try and be healthy and do what you can is commendable, you may have different time scales and im doing this to cover what I did and id like to encourage you not deter you ITS OK is what i'm trying to say.
      Any way back to the gym it was a race against the clock, and thinking ahead I didn't want to miss a full leg day as it was suppose to be on Tuesday and said id do it again today but due to time I did a little on shoulders in the form of PHA training and do legs when I have a full day, PHA Training is the use of weights to burn fat ALSO KNOWN AS THE AFTER BURN, similar to what I have been doing but much lighter and much quicker with a reduced rest rate in between each set for, example normally you would have up to 1.5 minutes rest maybe more, this time I had 30 - 45 seconds with a minuet or so rest between exercises  

PHA TRAINING
[1]Weight training is the often overlooked factor that can help make fat loss easier. By engaging in regular weight training you will increase your Lean Body Mass (LBM) which in turn increases your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). Why should you care? By increasing your LBM and your BMR you increase your daily energy expenditure even when you AREN’T exercising. It’s like putting a bigger engine in your car – you’ll burn more fuel even when idling at the traffic lights.

Its not something i'm going to go into in great detail now as its something that ill cover in phase two, remember phase one is loosing weight but adjusting to the life style change, and allowing the body to adjust, but it did allow me to fit it in with the time I had.

Exercise:

15 min stretch 

25 min running machine 

25 min cross trainer

ALL THOUGH TIME WAS TIGHT YOU SHOULD NOT REDUCE THE TIME YOU STRETCH! and I found that my speed and stamina have improved greatly, I really went for it with the cardio because I cut the times down but was so surprised that I could run longer and stronger.

4 x 18 Shoulder press 20kg

3 x 17 butter flys 7kg each arm

3 x 16 forward butterfly's / vertical lifts 3.75kg

4 x 18 shoulder pull down 19kg

Food and Meals:

was day three of the soup plan:
Day Three:
Mix Days One and Two: Eat all the soup, fruits and vegetables you want. No Baked Potato.

I followed this trying not to eat meat as I said I would and to be honest it was ok, I had two large bowls of the soup, 3 apples and a pear with half a bag of stir fry mix with half of the cabbage that was left in the fridge, surprisingly filling it may be due to having my protein shakes still but its going ok. have needed to wee alot again but as its a water based food its to be expected. going strong look forward to seeing it through and them bananas.

Day sixteen, week three, phase one

Due to work today I was unable to get to the gym or work out at home (such as skipping or even stretches) so I just took it as a rest day, as today would have been a legs day (if your doing the weights) NEVER SKIP A LEGS DAY ill do it tomorrow instead of a max out day, it's all good it happens and there so much more time left of the blog it'll be fine.

Food and meals:

Well as I said it do the cabbage soup diet just to cover it, it was day two of the plan.

Day Two:
Vegetables: Eat until you are stuffed will all fresh, raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. Try to eat leafy green vegetables and stay away from dry beans, peas and corn. Eat all the vegetables you want along with your soup. At dinner, reward yourself with a big baked potato with butter. Do not eat fruit today.

Well I have done that today, I have had two bowls of soup, a packet of stir fry mix (not fried in oil) and a bag of sweet and baby leaf salad, no jacket potato though, it's been an ok day filled me up and and can't really grumble, I have had a lil of the gas they said to expect but we all do nothing major, iv tried not to have the meat I said I would but must say I do look forward to having some.

Day fifteen, week three, phase one - Recipe & Tip: The Cabbage Soup Diet

So today wasa weigh-in day today and I lost 1.2lb from last week, 

A total off4.6 pound in the two weeks. I’m chuffed to bits with this as I have beenlifting weights twice a week as well and as muscle ways more than fat it’s agreat result (not to say that Iv toned up all that much but this will be downto the L-Glutamine the powder that stops you from losing muscle mass). Over theweek the I started to feel the burn and the muscles tightening which was to beexpected and it passed at the end off the week, as the weekend came I had myrest day, I can feel my energy levels rising and today my stamina hadincreased, I jogged alot longer and even ran for a bit at the end and I wasable to up the speed on the cross trainer, its a great feeling when thishappens, and is a result of a my body adjusting.

Exercise: 

15 minstretch

30 minrunning machine

Food andMeals:

As you mayremember in the introduction I said that I would talk about some nutritionplans that I have tried over the previous year, And this one is ok And Iwouldn't recommend it as a permeant diet thats why I didn't start with it as Imdoing so much cardio I would be drained but don't want to do it the week beforeI start phase two and you will know why soon. now you should be able settle into it and give it ago if at all but the soup its self is worth knowing as itsso low in fat, YOU BURN MORE FAT DIGESTING IT THAN THERE IS IN IT. Im going do it for the week or at least friday as a guidemeaning Ill tell you how and what you need but I will be carrying on with mybran flakes if I need or want them and Ill be having meat with mine more so than mostplans say, the reason is this the faster the weight is lost the quicker it willreturn, but this is a good little plan to know and want to share it with you.

THIS IS BYNO MEANS A LONG TERM DIET.

What is it?THE CABBAGE SOUP DIET.

[1]If you have a special occasion coming up or you simplyneed to lose weight fast, the Cabbage Soup Diet may be just what youneed. Although not suitable for long-term weightloss, the Cabbage Soup Diet is a low-fat, high-fiber diet that will help youget into shape fast before you embark on a more moderate long-term eating plan.

The ingredients are 

1.             6large green onions (also called “spring” onions)

2.             2 greenpeppers

3.             1 or 2 cansof tomatoes (diced or whole)

4.             3 carrots

5.             250g mushrooms

6.             1 bunchof celery

7.             half a headof cabbage

8.             1 packagedried onion soup 1 or 2 cubes of stock(optional)

9.             Season totaste with pepper, parsley, curry, garlic powder, etc. (Little to NO SALT!)

 Now for thelife of me I could not find any of the onion mix in my local shop so I usedvegetable stock cubes, and instead of the seasoning I spicy sun dried tomatopuree. 

                              

When itcomes to cooking it, your going to need a large pot.

Each person may be different and other sites may have manyways to do so like cooking some parts first adding other parts later stir inbits here there and every where me I dice it all up at the same time so thefirst batch is crunchy. I do this because the volume you make will last a fewdays and by the end off the week you will start freezing it, once you reheat itfor the second time it will become softer, and if it becomes to mushy it may beoff putting.

I cut everything finely, some say bite size but I cut thin and small one that it cooksquicker and two when you have a spoon full you get a nice blend of each.

When itcomes to the liquids once again it may differ for each person myself like tojust cover it with stock mix as this is a water based meal the well release thejuices into the mixture during the cooking process.

when itcomes to the spices, I would leave them out to help mix it up, every over bowladd a different spice once its in the bowl so it does not become bland. 

THIS IShttp://www.cabbage-soup-diet.com/eating-plan/ 7 DAY PLAN.

The Cabbage Soup Diet

[2]By Kathleen M. Zelman, MPH, RD, LD

WebMD Expert Review

Thereis no single Cabbage Soup Diet. Many versions of this very limited diet havebeen around for years. A few books have documented different variations of thissimple, anonymously written diet plan, which surprisingly has survived the testof time.

From http://www.everydiet.org/diet/cabbage-soup-diet

Pros

Fast weight loss.

The change from some of ournormally junky eating habits can be beneficial.

Vegetables from the Brassica family(such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower) have been found to aid in preventingcancer.

Many say they enjoy eating the soup.

Cons

Some complain that the Cabbage Soupa little too bland.

Be prepared for gas…

Requires will power.

Lacks good nutrition

Not a long-term answer.

You should be taking your vitamins on a daily basis any way so you should be ok with the nutrients need for the week and 8 glasses of water should already be the case any ways.
