My Diet Recap

I thought it would be a good time to recap where I was and how I am progressing.

When I started in January I was about 250 pounds, 50 inch waist at the navel and around 36% body fat.

Today I am 212 pounds 39 inch waist at the navel and 22% body fat. My lean mass has increased for 161 pounds to 166 pounds.

My diet consists of 1600 to 2000 calories, and I try to keep the calorie ratio to 40% carbs 40% protein and 20% from fat. It kind of a modified zone diet in that sense. I decreased my carb intake because my body seems to be real good at turning carbs into fat. I upped the protein to promote lean muscle growth. I continue the practice of eating 5 meals a day like is in the 3 Hour Diet.

My weight loss goal is to reach 185 pounds and between 6 and 10 % body fat by October 31st.

I will outline my exercise routine in a future post.
