Something really weird...So I weighted myself the morning of CN and I was at 151.3 lbs. Then the morning after CN I was at 151.9 lbs. This morning, the second morning after CN, I am 152.9 lbs......how does this happen? I was strictly ULC yesterday, eating around 1700 calories (not much deficit but definitely not over) with 10 g carbs, 140 g fat, and 100 g protein....I'm thinking maybe I didn't drink enough water yesterday? Or ate too salty? Or because of shark week?
I weigh myself daily to see trends. If it messes with your head, don't do it. And yes, shark week will do it. I personally can go from 150-157 lbs within that week:)Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro
Weighing your self daily can be a huge issue for some people. DONT DO IT! Weight fluctuates so much from day to day that all you are doing is stressing yourself out.
+1 !!!!!!

It's just water. Like Gnomer said, don't weight yourself. ESPECIALLY not daily. It lies.
Since I'm not actually bothered with the weight/concerned with it at all, I find it entertaining at how my weight shifts around after a meal or after a cup of water or after a toilet session ;D it gives me the giggles, and giggling is healthy!

QUESTION: Is it better to do regular cardio (treadmill, elliptical, etc) for longer time or HIIT cardio for a shorter time if the goal is to deplete glycogen?THANKS!
HIIT! HIIT! HIIT! HIIT is the way to go 🙂
So does this sound like an okay workout?HIIT cardio: 40 seconds quick sprint + 20 seconds brisk walk, repeat for 15 minutesWeights: the weights circuit at the local gym (I believe there's a series of machines that work on all major parts of the body)

Definitely HIIT, but I personally don't like it much since the machines at my gym requires some setting up and fiddling around with (rather than just having a user-friendly speed button) so I opted to lifting light weights with higher reps and repetition time instead. (SHAKE THOSE WEIGHTS!)Though, according to Kiefer in CBL v1.0 book, he recommends women to do the 2:4 ratio.2 Minutes sprint, 4 minutes rest.I know, 2 minutes is a bit long... especially when I usually sprint at 18mph that would honestly kill me -_- I'd probably for starters go for 1 minute sprint and 2 minutes rest, but I think 30 seconds rest is more than enough.
Just watched the video, I might try out 1 minute max with 2 minutes rest and see how that goes. Ughh it's getting cold outside and I'm lacking motivation to go to the gym
I've been thinking about the situation and couldn't figure out an answer, wondering if any of you guys here could help me explain.When I go on super low carb diets (<20 g per day) while keeping fat intake relatively high, I lose only 1 or 2 pounds after a week or two (this has happened a few times so I'm assuming that's how my body react to it). Does this mean I naturally don't hold on to too much water in my body?When I go on super low carb and super low fat diet (i.e., mostly eating protein), the weight loss is very apparent over the entire body (5 pounds or so in a few days). But obviously a protein only diet is difficult to maintain so that's not practical. But I'm just trying to figure out why my body react so differently to these two eating styles.I feel like once I figure this out it'll help with my CNS as well.

Doing intervals on the treadmill or the bike bores the heck out of me, which took my motivation away for doing HIIT and even going to the gym. I haven't incorporate HIIT in my program yet though I know I really should; perhaps create an exercise where you can do at home instead of going to the gym? I'm motivated to workout, but not motivated to pack my bag, drive there, park..walk... setup... and then start; whereas at home I can just do it impulsively whenever I feel hyper lol as long as your heart rate goes crazy and its your max power, I don't think you need to go to the gym to be able to do that. I would probably skip for 1 minute and rest for 30 seconds and repeat 6 to 8 times; could also do plyometrics (its what I think is best for myself anyways since I practice martial arts)Something of this nature~http://www.fitnessblender.com/v/workout-detail/Plyometric-and-Cardio-HIIT-for-Legs-Functional-Plyometrics-for-Endurance/bm/

Thanks for the video! I took a look and I think it's definitely doable. I'll try that tomorrow morning in my basement haha!
