Hello all

[man_without_fear]

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!

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?

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

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.
