20/20 Week 1
I started the 20/20 Lifestyles program at the Pro Club last week. It’s a nutrition and exercise lifestyle modification program that lasts a total of 20 weeks.
On the exercise front, I meet with a personal trainer 3 times a week for cardio and weight training. It’s a big time commitment, but I expect it to be ultimately worth it.
For nutrition, I’m following a protocol designed to identify which foods trigger hunger especially quickly for me. I’ll be able to limit or avoid those foods going forward. It starts with a week of detox (during which I ate only protein shakes and meat). Today, I’m adding back in most vegetables and next week, I’ll add dairy. It’s kinda fun doing a science experiment with my own body. I wouldn’t have the discipline to do this without the structure of the program.
During the first week, I lost 5 pounds, which is probably mostly water (I’m drinking 64oz/day which causes the body to stop retaining water), but I’ll take it!
As my reward, I’ll be having baklava for dinner.
