Using water fasting, working out by weight training and running and watching what I consume has allowed me to lose 30 pounds in 2 weeks. Their were times were my weight fluctuated many times during the cycle due to visiting my parents who feed me like a cow during the feeding window which made me shoot up from 215 back to 227 due to eating a large amount of bearded shrimp, Ledos pizza, high sugar juices, candies and other items which are not nutritionally sound. What was interesting was that it was easy to counter act this weight shift with eating a plate of veggies, refrain from eating my favorite ledos pizza, eating mooshu shrimp/chicken instead and taking the beard off the shrimp before consuming which helped me get back to 215-220 area within 2 days with walking/jogging 5 miles per day drinking tons of water. On the 15 hour bus trip I refrain from eating at all due to the unhealthy selections that were available at the gas station/truck stops when I returned I was at 213lbs. After training and using intermediate fasting with a 4 hour window my weight dropped down to 203lbs aug 1 while increasing muscle mass by 5%, decreasing body fat 4%, increasing water weight 3% and decreasing BMI by 5%.

During the next week it is about performance over weight lost which means the goal is to increase muscle, speed, power and strength. By having 30 lbs less to carry around means that I would be able to run 30lbs times 1-2 sec per mile faster which means if I was to run a 10 minute mile the new time would range between 9 minutes to 9 minutes and 30 seconds. When looking to lose weight your object is not to increase running speed until you are around ideal weight due to the nutritional needs of your body. If you are to try to mix the 2 one will suffer due the other so now I’m shifting gears to incorporate more speed interval training, more nutrients, proteins and carbs during high intense days to prepare for increase speed goals.
