I believe you can do it!

If you don't you must resign as President. ;)

Curious if your results for bodyfat percentage match what the Navy Tape test give you?

Says I'm 9%

My average caliper test right now is about 11% @ 189 lbs.

Surprised it's even able to guess this. I'm guessing it has to do with my large neck for my waist size.

Wayward Vagabond · 03-7-2015, 10:16 AM

Kale tastes like garbage wow. Threw my kale in a magic bullet added water and just chugged it because man does it taste like shit

Wayward Vagabond · 03-7-2015, 10:16 AM

Other than that though first day went good. Wasn't starving at any point just mildly hungry. I'd munch on baby carrots when it got worse

**Reincarnate** · 03-7-2015, 10:22 AM

I usually just boil the kale and eat it simultaneously with rice/chicken. Much easier that way.

Yeah, according to online sources, the regression is something like:

bf% = 86.01*LOG(waist(in) - neck(in)) - 70.041*LOG(height(in)) + 36.76

That'd probably taste not so shitty

Wayward Vagabond · 03-11-2015, 08:10 PM

Down to 300.4 pounds since I started this on Friday. Feeling good and no signs of anything terrible and hunger doesn't seem to be an issue though I did have a killer headache the day after I started my diet.

**Reincarnate** · 03-11-2015, 08:37 PM

I had the headache too when I first started -- went away after a few days.

Have you begun doing any cardio at all? Figure out a better way to handle kale?

Wayward Vagabond · 03-11-2015, 08:50 PM

yeah i've been doing two half hour sets in the the day since doing one continuous hour would probably make me pass out rofl.

kale im just putting it in a smoothie along with carrots, radishes, broccoli and water. it doesnt taste good but i can just chug it and get it over with

**hi19hi19** · 03-11-2015, 09:28 PM

For chicken, a little bit of low-sodium soy sauce/garlic marinade can go a long way while hardly adding any calories (soy sauce is like 8 calories per tablespoon lol)
For kale, try kale chips. They are actually really good, this coming from a guy who typically doesn't like kale prepared other ways. Sadly this does involve at least teaspoon or so of oil per bunch of kale for the baking, so don't forget to add that in (might make it not worth it, idk probably like 50 calories+ or so of oil)
For canned tuna, obviously adding it to small salads, but the variety of stuff you can successfully pair it with can be pretty surprising. Tuna and green beans, for example.

All I'm saying is, I know you have your sights set on the Maui victory lap but I encourage you to do small food prep things along the way that might help you hate the next few months slightly less. Experiment to find out what preparations are not quite as much of a chore to eat, while still keeping the calorie count low.

And good luck!

Wayward Vagabond · 03-11-2015, 09:52 PM

yeah for my chicken im caramelizing onions and cooking the chicken on top with steak season which has 0 calories. the chicken tastes fucking amazing. i switch between that and this chipotle sauce i have which is 2 calories per tablespoon. chicken is going to be the easiest thing to eat. tuna is what im really dreading. i've tried several things and no matter what its just chewing fish cardboard

Wayward Vagabond · 03-17-2015, 08:46 PM

Weighed in at 297.6 today. On a rolllll

Still no physical changes that I can tell, I'll give it another 20 pounds before its noticeable

Arch0wl · 03-19-2015, 03:00 AM

plus side: there are accelerating returns with fat loss. the lower the bodyfat the more dramatic a physical change 5lb of fat will be

Wayward Vagabond · 03-19-2015, 05:40 AM

Hype for that
