Minnesota Trip 3: Day 11

couldn't sleep last night and went to Byerly's late


was really hungry, had a breakfast at like 6 in the morning, right after I knocked out Incline Perfect Pushup, 40 - I think I will get up tomorrow and work out again



not raw - but total carb count = 27 grams (of course I popped an Anabolic Pump before I ate)

1 organic pastured egg yolk
1 can coconut milk
12 oz 100% grassfed summer sausage
0.19 lb raw cheese

total calories approximately 1900 calories

at night

anabolic pump
1 organic pastured egg yolk
0.32 lb raw cheese
brick of pate
4 sweet peppers

3100 calories for the day

fasting tomorrow

that means I will have made it through the trip, not exactly as planned, but with no true cheat foods and an additional fast day

next week, may try a 3 day water fast between Tuesday and Thursday, or at the very least Tuesdays and Thursday - also going to keep to 2 meals a day, rather than three, including post-workout protein

at the very very least, 2 fast days - Tuesday and Thursday

simple - no food today

fasted

Minnesota Trip 3: Day 9 (High Calories)

real simple, sleep is not going too well

stay strong, just had some extra Vitamin D with dinner, that and extra ubiquinol

simple dinner - tomorrow I am going to fast, yup - paying attention to Brad Pilon, I have stores, shouldn't be a problem at all

100% raw early supper

2 organic pastured egg yolks
6 organic egg yolks
3/4 lb grassfed ribeye
organic cinnamon

I was starving at night as I had to work late - I almost caved but I opted for high saturated fat, low carb, high satiety, high calorie as I am fasting today

1/3 lb gorgonzola
brick of pate (so so good)
can of coconut milk
2 scoops of GNC Wheybolic

given that my supper calories were about 1300 calories, my late night 'snack' was about 2000 calories!

my total for the day was about 3300 calories - so I am trying to fast for the next three days, will see how my rings feel

Sunday, March 28, 2010

Minnesota Trip 3: Day 2

first day on site at Wuxi, didn't sleep well but had to stay on diet as I don't have any other food :)

I probably should have brought my Warrior Milk, and taken a swig here and there, or any other good protein like Nitrean or Jay Robb, but o well - gotta just keep losing weight

what was nice was that my rings started swinging around my finger again, just after 1 day! can't wait for the whole 12 days

single meal at dinner:

100% raw

1 organic egg yolk - pastured
1.03 bison ribeye
organic cinnamon

Sunday, March 21, 2010

work with me, Minnesota Trip 3

ok, so my plan is for the next 11 days, only raw beef and a few egg yolks

on my flight day home I will be fasting

so I flew in today and had a cab driver from Djibouti

he drove me to Wh0le Foods in St. Paul - 65 bucks, not bad considering how much great steak and pastured eggs I bought

dinner was great

0.89 lb ny strip
2 organic egg yolks - pastured from Vital Farms
organic cinnamon

my goal is to drop about 10 lbs over the next 12 days
