man_without_fear Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 New to the forum, browsed around and seemed like a fun place to be! I am a 27 year old male. Currently living in Hamilton, New Zealand. I am a teacher and currently teach year 5's (which is 4th grade for you Americans), although in previous years I have taught Year 8 (7th grade). As you can most likely tell by my name and avatar I am a big comics fan with Daredevil being my Favourite character. I also read a bunch of other Marvel and DC comics. On to fitness then. I have struggled with my weight through my early 20's and am now finally starting to see the light thanks to an awesome PT. I have packed on some solid muscle and have grown in strength over the past 6 months but my eating habits have stopped me from reaching my full potential. I have now got a plan in place for my eating and so I should see some great results in no time.My approach to training is to not back down and I push myself as far as I can go every session. That means lifting heavy and plenty of supersets. I am on here mainly for some motivation and a place to keep track of my achievements and get some advice! Link to comment
Dio Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Welcome to the rebellion! Having spent over a decade battling being over-weight and hundreds of hours wasted at the gym with little result, I was amazed at the impact a menu-change had on me. I am always curious in others' plans. So what's the plan? One day at a time. No excuses. Battle Log | Current Challenge - Bleep All the Things Link to comment
man_without_fear Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Essentially I am following the Wheat Belly diet and leaving wheat out completely. To go with this I am also limiting my carb intake (still have oats and a bit of brown rice). I am pairing this with Leangains IF so am hoping for some good results. Am tracking my calories as well to ensure that I am not under/over eating Link to comment
Guest Dirty Deads Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Welcome Mr. Murdock! How are you doing with IF? I love it myself. I feel more energetic and the weight seems to take care of itself with minimal exercise. I'm using a 4 hour window, but extend to 6 if I need it. Link to comment
