So, here it goes:
Your week long plan is made up of 2 integral parts: The fitness part and the nutritional one.
Fitness part
Day 1: Do at least one hour of aerobic activity. You can an evening walk, go swimming, play some sports with your friends, go running, or anything else which gets your heart beat racing. Aerobics burn a lot of calories which is your main objective in your week long efforts.
Day 2: Do one hour of strength exercises. If you have a gym membership now is the time to use it. But even if the only place you workout is at home, you can still do an effective workout. Do some pushups, crunches, squats, or borrow some dumbbells from a friend.
Day 3: One hour of aerobics, the same as day 1.
Day 4: Take some time off from physical activity to allow your muscles to rest.
Day 5: The same as day 1.
Day 6: One hour of strength training. Make sure you work at least 2 muscle groops.
day 7: The same as day 1.
Nutritional part
1. Eat at least 3 different vegetables each day.
2. Eat 2 pieces of fruit each day.
3. Do not eat any fried food, fast food or candy.
4. Reduce salt intake to just about ZERO.
5. Drink 8-10 glasses of water each day.
6. Eat 4-5 small meals each day instead of 3 big ones.
7. Reduce the amount of carbs that you eat.
8. Eat at least one portion of protein each day, like fish, meat, eggs or soy.
Follow these guidelines and you will be 5 pounds slimmer after one week.
Pretty simple right? And if you already eat healthy with the occasional BOX of Townhouse Crackers (like I ate last week, smh), then this shouldn't be that hard. I know the things I'll miss the most will be hot sauce, soy sauce and Sriracha. If anyone has any spicy alternatives to these salty sauces, let me know!
