This is the start of my RIPPED journey. The RIPPED program is diet, supplements and exercise.
Diet
- high protein, low fat, low carb. Every 3rd day the diet allows slightly more carbs.
Supplements
- RIPPED, multivitamin, creatine, ephedra
Exercise
- weight training 4 days a week (upper/lower body, low/high intensity)
- low intensity cardio (bike) twice a day, 4 times a week
- high intensity cardio once a day 3 times a week
See My training spreadsheet for more details.
Current Weight: 224 lbs.
Target Weight: 190 lbs.
2007 Body Weight Progress
This is a chart of my actual and projected weight loss. I'm planning on losing 4-5 pounds a week for 7 weeks (!). This is very difficult since I'll be putting on muscle during this phase too. The RIPPED program does not normally result in muscle gain but I'm very out of shape and haven't done decent weight training in years. Lean body weight is just body weight minus fat. I always measure body fat and body weight first thing in the morning using a HealthOMeter bathroom scale. The scale uses "biometric impedance" to calculate body fat percentage. Since I'm dehydrated in the morning my body weight is a little low and my body fat percentage is a little high. Water is a great conductor so an increase water will decrease the body fat measurement given by the scale in 2007
2007 Before and After
This is a comparison of my picture on the first day, after 30 days and the current day. The colour differences are because I normally don't use my indirect flash because it takes more time to set up. The daily pictures are using my camera's normal flash.
