Mission 2, Day 85: Experiment Stats Week 1 are in
The first week of my experiment is over (actually the first 6 days) and the results are in. I had to modify my body fat percentage, so it won't be matching up to my last stats sheet. I am now measuring with three different measurements (Omron, Accumeasure, FatTrack II) and then getting the average and that's the percentage I'm going with. Here are the stats:
This week I lost 3 pounds on the scale. I dropped 1.77% in body fat, increased 1.245 pounds in LBM and dropped a whopping 4.245 pounds in fat this week on my new nutritional plan.
During this week I ate at exactlyl 3 hour intervals. I did not miss by even 10 minutes. I did not go without any meals.
On a side note, I compared myself to several other pictures of people who post their body fat percentage and I feel that this new percentage calculation method is much more accurate in that area.
Needless to say, I am not changing much this week. I feel like I've hit the sweet spot and there's really no need to mess with success.
Until later...GET BACK TO LIFTING!

YeY Michael! That's what i've been striving for - a meal every 3 to 3.5 hours. On some occasions i miss the mark, but mostly i must eat or else i become a beast!! I have adjusted slightly by making sure i eat my carb calories early in the day...evenings i try to get all calories from protein, fat and fibrous carbs (salads and non-starchy veggies). Don't know yet if that is going affecting my rate of fat loss. Time will tell. =D

Hi Michael,
Am so in awe of you and your STRENGTH. In everything. Just when I think you´ve done/got it all, you surprise me by doing even more. I want to ask you a question...what is PACE? Google says it´s a brain exercise. Also, am anxiously awaiting to hear what you are doing with your nutrition. You should as if you have found something so good for you. I just did a week of the Warrior Diet, and actually gained on it. Now that the new DEAL is going on, I think will just have to do what Adam is doing. Eating only tunafish and salad. What else can I do? Eat the same stuff and not much of it. Let me tell you that this age am in is not a picnic. So easy to gain when you shoud be losing. BUT, will find a way. Just wanted to tell you that you are doing just TERRIFIC. Wouldn´t miss a blog for anything!

Lynda, thanks for your nice comments. PACE is a program developed by Dr. Al Sears for cardio fitness. I reviewed the process here. Feel free to read it and let me know if you have any questions.

Good set of stats there. I think those percentages look to be about right. Low carbs is the go for your body type! I think I too suffer from the same fate. Doesn't matter whether the carbs are good or bad, they seem to keep the fat hanging on. I think you are on to something with the carb cycling. This is something I have added for my Mission 3.
