So yesterday was my first day following the paleo lifestyle, and I quickly learned I need to make some adjustments. On average, I need to consume somewhere between 2,100 to 2,400 calories to make it comfortably through the day. With this new lifestyle, all processed carbs are eliminated and to be honest, they were a large part of my previous diet.
Around 4 pm yesterday I was over 1,000 calories away from my target and feeling very run down. To hopefully better plan for longer day today, I've included much more vegetables and more specifically sweet potatoes. I'm hoping the extra two servings will help keep the energy up for my 15 hour day at work.
Yesterday, another trainer and I took my measurements and found my starting point.
Body Fat = 9.9%
Weight = 157 lbs
I really don't want to lose too much weight, so managing the right portion sizes throughout the next eight weeks will be very important. I'm limiting cardio to only 3 days a week and no more than 30 mins per shot. I want to go no where close to as lean as I did for my body building show (<4% BF), so keeping the cardio light and the diet right is very important.
