Monthly Project Update #3

Hey all, thanks for tuning in! I apologize for being so late again, I’ve just been so busy with school and other commitments.
Wow, last week must’ve been my best week so far! Motivation stayed high, no temptation to cheat, made it to the gym for every session…feelin’ good
. I think it’s pretty safe to say I’m falling in love with the natural high that comes from working out. The diet part, I’m not too crazy about yet, I love food too much haha =P
I made some minor tweaks to my program last week. I’m now watching my protein, trying to get at least 100g/day (largely influenced by my browsing of forum.bodybuilding.com lately lol).
I can post up detailed progress of my being on the Warrior Diet if anyone requests, but I’m going to be making some tweaks to it. The two main reasons I started the Warrior Diet was because I thought it would help me stay on track by feasting every night and I wanted to experiment to try and get more energy. While the former was successful, I did not notice any changes in my energy levels throughout the day, which disappointed me. I think it’s safe to say my body has adapted to the diet; there’s no hunger and energy is fine, but it’s just the same as before. I haven’t experienced the crazy alertness and focus that others have reported to feel.
As a result, I’m going to modify my diet to resemble the one meal a day aspect of the Warrior Diet, but not follow it to a T (nothing wrong with the diet btw, I guess my body just isn’t suited for it, but as with everything, try it for yourself and see!).
My diet will simply adhere to the following 2 rules:
- Modify caloric intake based on goals
- At least 100g of protein per day
That’s it
. I’m going to follow a one meal a day outline just because I like the fullness it gives me, but other than that I’m not going to restrict myself. Life’s too short to not enjoy everything you’re doing, who’s with me?
Stay tuned for the next update! Leave a comment and tell me what you think!
