This is the 4th update about my 2nd Quebec Experiment.
Last week was a so-so week. According to my latest BKI, I was able to lose 1.6 lbs, which is good, but almost 1/3 (0.5 lb) of that is lean mass… Not so good.
I can’t explained why I have muscle loss nor why I don’t get similar results each week. Maybe it’s because I don’t count calories and sometimes I just eat too much… Or not enough? I suspect I don’t get enough nutrient when I need it the most, on strength training days.
My fat % loss is 0.5. I’m now at 19.9% fat and 4.9% away from my goal of 15%. This means I need to lose 0.61% per week for the next 8 weeks, if I want to succeed. It’s getting tough…
But there is good news. In my last week update, I wrote:
I will, this week again, try to burn more calories from training.
Well, according to my Polar FT80 HRM, I succeeded: I burned 2163 calories during the week! Much more than my target of 1750.
This week, I will pay more attention to what I eat on training days and keep the rest as is. Hopefully, I will lose approx 1.5 of fat and very little lean mass.
