I hopped on the scales on Monday morning
93.7kg
That’s down from 97.9 3 weeks ago
It’s a bit too light for my liking
Yes I’ve been trying to lose fat
It’s for the photoshoot Friday week
But if weight drops too quickly
You know it’s not all fat
Cuz you gotta burn an extra 3500 cals
For every pound of fat lost
In theory I would have had to burn an extra, or cut an extra
30,800 cals
That’s 1466 a day over the last 3 weeks
And that definitely didn’t happen
Anyway I knew I was gonna be light on Monday morning
Had 3 low calorie days over the weekend
Which included cake, vodka and a chinese (will tell you more another time)
Anyway, Monday was a high calorie day
What I call a refeed
Lots more food, especially in the form of carbs
6 bananas and a truck load of rice along with double cream and coconut oil too
I weighed 93.7kg at 6am
At 5pm I stepped on the scales again
97.2kg
Yes, I gained 3.5kg in 10 hours
Was it fat? Nope
Those 3.5kg was just a combination of the amount of food I ate, the water I drank and the extra carbs
Basically it means sweet fa
Same goes for you when you jump on the scales after a weekend
It’ll probably be up
But it doesn’t mean you have to feel like shit because of it
Because you can’t know what the weight gain was
My weight gain will actually stand to me
I’ll be stronger for the rest of the week
Be able to train harder
And I’ll end up looking leaner for the photoshoot because of it
I know it sounds weird
But you’ll be able to see for yourself when I get the pics
