My brother has bought into Joe Wick’s 90 day plan. He doesn’t need to lose weight (in fact he struggles to keep it on), but wants to eat more healthily, and get fitter. I’ve been reading some of Joe Wick’s things, and have been doing his HIIT workouts for the last few weeks, although I struggle to keep to the schedule of exercise because I’m in so much pain from them!!
Anyway, talking to him has helped me work out my plan for post BSD – my first 8 weeks finishes on Saturday.
I’m going to do 800 cals a day for the week days, and 1200 cals a day for the weekends. I’m also going to keep going with the Joe Wick’s HIIT until I can actually fit everything into the proper schedule. For the meal after I’ve exercised, I’m going to eat some carbs, because I seriously need to keep my gut moving. These will be oats with bran, chick peas, lentils and a bit more fruit rather than bread and pasta, but still more than I’ve eaten in the last two months.
Going to stick to that for another 8 weeks, probably more strictly than I have stuck to 800 cals a day for the last 8 weeks, and see how I go. I’ve lost about a stone and a half, although over the last 2 weeks I’ve bobbling along gaining a lb, losing a lb. Going to weigh myself every day for the next 8 weeks just to see how the carbs affect things.
It has definitely made me want to change the way I eat on a more permanent basis though, so that’s a huge positive.
