Have you ever tried a "special diet" to lose body fat? How did it work out for you?
I am undergoing a 21-Day Challenge by NSP Nutrition. These are my results during the second week of the diet. This week consisted of protein loading. The first first week was a detox week. Please read The Detox Diet that Helped Me Rid of 0.5 Percent Body Fat in a Week to learn more.
Week 2 consisted of steak and eggs for breakfast and dinner, and raw vegetables for lunch. Here's the breakdown:
Breakfast and dinner:
4 oz organic sirloin steak: 26 grams of protein (104 calories); 2 grams of fat (18 calories)
4 x free-range eggs: 24 grams of protein (96 calories); 36 grams of fat (324 calories)
Lunch: small tray of vegetables or lightly sautéd mixed vegetables
I do prefer "lighter" vegetables such as onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. I digest these easier than cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and cauliflower. Though, cruciferous vegetables contain phytonutrients, vitamins, and fiber.
I also supplemented this diet with the following:
Here my stats during week 2:
As you can see, I lost 1.2 pounds and 0.2 percent of body fat this week. This is less progress than week 1. And it's expected because I was protein loading on week 2. During week 1, I detoxed my body by fasting and eating a raw salad at the end of the day. I am excited to see my results for week 3. More to follow!
