Two short warm up EXR rows in Boston followed by a strength session



Started a dirty called the Human Being Diet which started off with always 3 meals a day just vegetables for 2 days and followed by a protein source and vegetables for 16 days with no exercise which was a bit of a shocker. But amazing as I went from 88.6 Kilos to 81.9 kilos in just over 2 weeks. My goal for over 10 years has been 85kilos with exercise which was never achieved until now! Also lost 2 inches on the waist to 38 inches reducing belly fat another goal. The theory behind non exercise is that when you exercise you increase cortisol which helps deposits fat. The next stage is further fat burning to reduce body fat and BMI to a healthy level but increase non aerobic exercise to reduce the stress factor of exercise which increases the cortisol levels. The other part of the diet was no bread, no starchy foods like potatoes, rice but also no milk, no alcohol but pure veg and protein such as chicken, fish, lean meat. It worked well but rather boring so keep going as you are allowed treat days. But going to carry on with more exercise. Plenty of intermittent walking, rowing, swimming, strength/stretch sessions and cycling etc.
Did a 5.1 km 1hr 20 min walk. Also did a 1.5km EXR row along long beach at a 2.26/500m pace. Followed by 17 min strength and stretch session
