It was 15 days ago I posted my last post regarding food consumption. Since then I can honestly say I have only completed one 6 mile run in that time due to injuring myself pushing my car out of the snow. Not a great start, infact the perfect excuse to delay starting my training for the half marathon. I don’t think so, wrong guy.

My diet has been 90% perfect, only three times have I deviated from my plan, and that has mainly been due to weekend time or skipping meals because of my work/study schedule. So the results? I can now tell you I weight 165.5 lbs at my last weight in yesterday. That’s a 7 lb weight loss in only 15 days. A good portion of this will be water bloat, the majority of it will be fat and a little lean mass.

It cannot be underestimated how important diet is, if you have 100 g of bread your body will use around 400 calories to burn this off. If you have 100 g of protein, your body will use around 900 calories. I think it goes without saying that to get around 40% of your diet from protein has massive benefits. Try and get some with every meal of the day.
