So I wanted to start documenting a day by day account of The Cheat Day Diet. Tuesday the 28th I woke up at approximately 10am on account of the fact that I did not go to sleep until 4am. Sleep is definitely a huge factor to maintaining any diet and workout regiment, so Im trying to get 6 hours a night even though with my schedule some nights I know thats not going to happen. The food that I consumed again consisted of low carb fare, with an emphasis on unrefined minimally processed foods.
Meal 1: 5 egg whites and one yellow cooked with mushrooms, and onions.
One cup of tea with skim milk
Approximately 2 1/2 hours later
Meal 2: 5 Ounces of chicken breast, grilled with onions and bell peppers.
Bowl of lentil soup (recipe will be forthcoming)
Continuing to work on consumption of 1 Gallon of water.
Approximately 2 hours later
Meal 3: Muscle Milk low carbohydrate pre-made protein shake.
Gym: Workout was approximately 1 hour of high intensity training focused on lower body quadriceps,
hamstrings, and calves. I try to keep rest to an absolute minimum between sets as I dont have time to
do cardio as well as weights so I try to keep my heart rate up throughout the entire weight session.
Meal 4: 5 Ounces of lean beef cooked with peppers and onions.
One cup of tea with skim milk.
One Full Guava.
Meal 5: Large green salad with red wine vinegar.
One can of tuna on top of salad with handful of crushed almonds
Bowl of lentil soup
Before bed: Handful of Almonds and a couple chestnuts.
I drank just short of a gallon of water. I kept my consumption of carbohydrates very low. I also consumed the majority of my calories in the form of raw or minimally processed foods. I felt like my energy was pretty good all day and didnt feel any negative effects from the low carbohydrates.
