To Dance: 14 days
To dance: 14 days!
And these 14 days I should try something, a crash diet. Full of fiber, retaining protein, cutting back on carbs by 20%, cutting down on fat percentage as far as possible.
From my calculations, the average number of calories i take in per day is about 2550/2600 calories, rising to about 28oo nowadays, but to successfully make this diet successful, I must cut about 900 calories off, that's if I'm disciplined enough to retain a 700 calorie deficit per day for 5 days a week. So by then, with calculations, since 1 pound of fat = 3500 calories, i can lose 2 pounds of fat.
However, there is a great cost. Muscle may be lost. The only thing I can do to prevent this is to go gym once a week (the most I can accommodate man). I will see how this works out, though success rate is quite low because:
- It's the first time I'm trying this out, inexperienced dude.
- It's very taxing cos of dance and studies, and its really time to start get serious.
- It's still hard to keep track of the food I'm taking in.
My BMR is about 1600 cal a day, with a high metabolism rate. An additional 900 calories must be burned through exercise and heavy activity, which shouldnt be a problem, and i must cut my food intake to a 1800 calorie diet, no cutting lower than that amount, for it will result to lack in nutrients and stuff.
A very hard thing to do. Goodness. Never done it before.
