3rd week of RFLP

Weighed in at 194 this morning. (Started at 220/approx.) Last week I folded and ate Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I was feeling depressed, plus we went to a festival and I had some less than optimal food. No alcohol, but I am sure I set myself back a few days. It was a necessary mental break.

Now, Energy is good, not hungry most of the days. I ran out of Kerrygold Butter this morning so my coffee wasn't as Bulletproof®. Too much salt in the water gives me disaster pants, though I have been able to mitigate the disaster before it happens, timing is everything.

No problem with strength either, I am lifting 3x per week. 

Goal weight 180, should not be too difficult if things progress consistently.

I am looking forward to the refeed. I have found that a two day refeed keeps me balanced mentally. Breaking the addiction to the act of eating is an important factor in my opinion. I don't find that I am hungry as much as I just want the sensation of eating.

Week 2 - Rapid Fat Loss Protocol

I have neglected to update my progress since last week. I have been super busy and I am sticking to that excuse!

So I am down to about 197 - I feel great. I have some low points about mid afternoon and mid-week makes the last few days before the re-feed pretty tough.

I will post some pics when I am done.

Food cravings are minimal and easy to redirect from.

My re-feed day was this past Sunday and I loved it. I ate grass-fed beef, white basmati rice and veggies. I drank some Kvass and some Kombucha. I ate a couple handful of blue berries because I love them. Otherwise I stuck pretty close to the script.

Today is my first day on Upgraded MCT oil. So good so far.

I will update next week.

Day 3 Bulletproof® RFLP

Amazing energy in the morning! Sleeping better as well. I am experiencing some lethargy early afternoon and also waking with a headache in the morning. I seem to be thirsty a lot but I am drinking plenty of water. A few times I had diarrhea but nothing bad and not much.

I have fleeting feelings of hunger, but again it is nothing that some water cannot handle. I may need to get some decaf because my second cup of coffee seems to wire me and then I crash.

I am shooting for Sunday as my re-feed day. That will be 6 days of the protocol. I am determined to do this. My goal is to get back to a 34 waist.

For activity I took the dog for a run/walk and lifted weights. I also did some yard work and one sprint.

Mentally, I feel more focused in the morning but can "will" myself to focus in the afternoon if needed. I feel a little more on an even keel with my emotions also.

I took the kids to a BBQ this afternoon and the food smells good, but I am sticking with this.

More tomorrow.

Rapid Fat Loss Protocol - Step one to Bulletproof® (Day1)

Honestly this is day 2, however it is the first day of the proper regimen with all supplements as set forth by Dave Asprey from The Bulletproof Executive®. You can read about this protocol here. (Using Coconut Oil until my MCT oil arrives)

I will post body comp pics after the fact - simply because I don't want to post pics of my shirtless self right now. After I am a ripped machine, then I won't care.

Last solid meal: Sunday - 8:00PM
Only calories consumed come from Bulletproof® Coffee

So far I feel:

Mostly alert and energetic. I was a bit tired earlier, but I went to bed late last night (11:00pm) One of the things I need to do is work on my circadian rhythm.

Tried having a third cup of BPC on the way to work at 3:45 but it seemed to give me the jitters. I didn't finish it and have switched to water.

Otherwise I feel focused and not hungry.

Weight:
Sunday PM: 210lbs
Tuesday AM: 202

I am sure this is mostly water.

I worked out yesterday. Squats - Bench press. I skipped the barbell rows. I plan on keeping this light until I start eating again. Refeed this sunday.

I will update each day.
