Just started a long journey. I know there’s tons of work to do but I’m ready. I’m willing to listen to anyone’s advice here. I’m uneducated in this and need help.Monstro You have good potential
but monstro also thinks that you have a lot of work to do
@ThatBeardedGuy the amount of hemp seed you take it not enough and vegetarian sources of omega 3 are nothing close to fish oil, read about flaxseed studies and ALAI take omegas. That’s what hempseed oil is. It’s a better replacement for fish oils. Your body absorbs the fats better from the hemp seed versus the fish oil. Also the hemp seed oil has a more optimum blend of the omegas. (Atleast that’s what I read)
When I was doing my keto I was doing intermittent fasting eating between like 1pm and 9pm. I felt like it wasn’t doing much. Guess I was wrong.
I’m working on my cardio I know it needs to go up hence why I’m looking to get advice from people here because I just googled stuff and made a workout plan that seemed to work.
Weights have gone up since I started workout out. Like a lot actually. I just dropped the weights since my diet change because I figured lower weight and higher reps would help burn my calories/fat. I started out on a lot of the machines and now if there’s anything I could switch to free weights and do it I will. Unfortunately planet fitness doesn’t have much. I might change gyms soon. Not having free weights for bench press is kinda of a bummer.
Ok I got maybe 2 weeks of hemp seed oil left and I’ll order some fish oil. Do you recommend krill over regular fish oil?@ThatBeardedGuy the amount of hemp seed you take it not enough and vegetarian sources of omega 3 are nothing close to fish oil, read about flaxseed studies and ALA
On the fasting, you need to do a shorter feeding window for results and you need a high meal day too.
So fasting day, 20 hour fasting 4 hour refeed window and 2 days per week you would have 6 meals per day to boost your metabolic rate.
ON the cardio thats big, thats where big fat loss comes, at your size you have a great base to work with, so push to 60 min of AM empty stomach cardio and 30-45min post workout and 15min pre training, high cardio is what you need now.
Weights, we would like actual weights, you know we need to see how strong you get or if you lose strength it's important. Please update your exercises sets and weights in the log a few times per week or ED if you can so we can follow you. The same goes for diet.
If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Very easy.
@ballin2504 any pointers? I’m learning and want to improve my diet.Nice start to the log. Get that diet dialed in and you’ll drop bf quick
@ThatBeardedGuy I think krill oil is high quality just like fish oil, you can use both 1/2/ and hemp seed is not bad but use less of it.Ok I got maybe 2 weeks of hemp seed oil left and I’ll order some fish oil. Do you recommend krill over regular fish oil?
So do I keep the same calories I eat now but eat it in a 4 hour window or do I increase calorie intake like s.gentz suggested and eat within a 4 hour window.
On the 2 days I eat high meals do I still intermittent fast or eat the 6 meals throughout the day?
I went to gym yesterday but continued my low weight high rep workout. I will go back to my heavy lift and update again tonight after gym. I woke up and weighed myself I’m 287 dropped another pound
Cardio I know is huge. I will up my preworkout cardio to 10 mins and post I’ll go until I’m severely winded until I make it to 30 mins.
30mins of fasted AM cardio will be hard until I get a bike. I’ll have to wake up even earlier before work to get to gym and back plus shower. I’m quite active during my 8 hours of work. I know it doesn’t substitute. Do you recommend a reclined or normal upright bike?
