Day 11 - Phase 1 Diet and Fat, Muscle Fluctuations Due to Creatine


My overall weight went up today for the first time. However, my body fat went down and my lean body weight went through the roof. I'm skeptical that the measurements are completely accurate but I think the increase in muscle mass measurements is related to me stopping creatine two days ago. We'll see.

This is why it's crucial to measure body fat on a program like this. Even though I gained weight overall since yesterday, it's actually a positive thing since I gained muscle and lost fat. This is the first time I've done serious weight training in a long time and so I'm bound to gain muscle pretty easily at the start. I think that's what I'm seeing now.

Today's a "Phase 1" day.
