Well I just finished my second year of graduate school towards my degree in Pharmacy. Only two more years and I'll be a licensed Drug Dealer. This is my last summer I get off in school, so I figured I would make it count. I have always been the "how does that guy move so well for his size" guy. Extrememly agile, pretty quick and passed up a D1 football career for a profession in pharmacy. Well seeing as I'm not going to be the star full-back for the Cleveland Brown's anymore, I need to lose the weight. I started about 5 months ago, with a lower carb diet and maintained pretty decent muscle mass.
3 months ago- I weighed 343 lbs @ 6 foot
Today I'm typing this up at 307.2 lbs
I won't be doing a low-carb diet this summer, instead I've decided to follow a 5/6 meals a day with 1 serving of protein and 1 serving of carbs at each meal. I can supplement fat in if needed with EVOO, Macademia nut oil or salmon a few times a week.
My overall weight loss goal is around 40lbs in 3 months. This is just over 3lbs a week, and I realize a lot of you skinny guys are thinking this white boy is crazy, but I don't see this as too lofty of a goal. I am doing 30 minutes of cardio, 6 days a week. I think this diet and workout regimen will help maintain my existing mass and help cut away the fat. My cardio is pretty low impact (Interval on an elliptical or 3.5-4 mph on a 5% incline treadmill)...the treadmill sounds tame, but Jesus H. Christ does it burn after a while.
I plan on doing all dumbbell workouts over the summer (probably 5-6 a week). These will be total body, so I am starting out kinda low to get my body used to repeated stress. The total body workout wont be the same workouts each day, so I can stress different parts of that muscle group. (i.e. tricep extensions one day and then dips the other day).
I'm really not counting calories which may seem stupid, but Im going portion control. A lot of people have told me that this sound like a "body for life" type diet or some sh!t.
I am already on day 2 and pretty freaking sore.
I probably won't update daily, but I will post as often.
Criticism, Support and Tips are all appreciated.
Supplements are pretty tame
Acai Berry Extract
Noni Fruit Extract
Omega 3/6/9
Vitamin B complex
Chromium Picolinate
No Stimulants, No Alcohol
The Only thing I have a problem with is follow through. It makes no sense, since I'm 22 and in my 3rd year of grad school. But when it comes to me, my body I have absolutely no follow though. Well I want this to change this summer, and it will change.
