PSMF – Fin
// Jimmy // June 16th, 2010 // Protein Sparing Modified Fast
Oops. Just realised I never completed the diet journal.
I ended up pushing through to the end. The pain must have been a lovely little side effect from getting boozed in the middle of a high intensity diet.
Alcohol Verdict: Not recommended
Rest of that final week was pretty standard compared with the rest of the PSMF. Ramping back to normal intake was a bit of a fail, with probably too much indulgence for the first couple of days off the diet.
First day back at the gym was awesome. Lifted exactly what I did when I went into the PSMF. Zero loss at all in the gym. Probably a little muscle loss overall, as that’s ridiculously hard to avoid, but having retained as much as I did was AWESOME. Overall bodyfat percentage was down around 3.5%. End result was 12.9% but there’s no way I am that low, so I am just using -3.5% as the benchmark.
Bounce back afterwards was about +3kg in water, giving an overall loss of 4kg in 3 weeks. ALL fat. Very happy with the results. Might do another short PSMF again soon
