Progress So Far...

Over the course of the past couple of weeks I have noticed a lot of progress in my challenge. I have linked to a chart showing my progress this far.

A little bit later this week, I will post a more detailed update on what I have been doing. In the meantime, here is a health tip from Scott Herkes from Max Muscle.

SCOTT’S TIPS FOR LOSING WEIGHT
(We will continue to add tips to this blog throughout the course of Shawn’s body fat loss program.)

Tip #1) Eat smaller meals at least 5 or 6 times a day instead of the traditional 3. This is very important !!!! Most people can’t process and use large caloric meals efficiently and if too much is eaten at one time the body will store the excess calories as fat. By adapting your eating style to eat more often, your body won’t be prone to storing fat. Since you are eating more often you also won’t be hungry for hours between meals. Another dieting strategy that we don’t recommend is to skip meals and eat salads. Your body will store fat if you skip meals and calorie restrict beyond a certain point. You have to eat to lose body fat!!! Step one to a good body fat loss program is to increase the amount of times you are eating to 5 or 6 smaller meals per day.
