I'm 22 years old, 6ft tall and last night weighed in at 212 lbs.
My stats at the start:
Chest (around nipples) - 108cm
Waist (around belly button) - 107cm
Hips - 108cm
Right arm relaxed - 34cm
Thigh - 61cm
My Primary goal is to lose body fat for now. However, along the way I would love to get generally fitter, stronger and become a better fighter.
I'm going to try the Paleo diet for the first 30 days. If it is working and I feel good eating this way I will stick with it. If not I figure it will at least break the cycle of any bad habits I may have. I won't be doing any training during week 1 whilst I adjust to my new diet.
I was pretty unprepared to start today so my foods were a bit limited.
7:00 - 3 egg omelette (plain)
1:00 - 1 chicken breast, baby spinach, 2 spring onions, and a little bit of red and green bell pepper
5:45 - Small steak on lettuce with some more red bell pepper and spring onion
I've actually felt really good today even though I thought I thought I hadn't eaten any where near enough. I had a few stomach rumbles before lunch and got a little bit head achey before tea but didn't get overly hungry at any point. I have tried to keep my water up but I have been really thirsty all day.
However, on reflection I have come up with 2 goals for tomorrow:
1) more healthy fats.
I'm going to get a big bag of almonds and have a handful as a snack between breakfast and lunch. I'm also going to get some olive oil to keep in my desk drawer at work. I'll mix some with balsamic vinegar to kill 2 birds with one stone - more healthy fats and it will make my salad a little more interesting and less dry. I need to buy some new fish oil capsules tomorrow as well.
2) more vegetables.
I'm thinking some spinach and red onion at breakfast - either in my omelette or with sausage. Then replace the lettuce I had at Dinner with some broccoli/Asparagus/Kale etc.
Any thoughts and tips appreciated.
