My wife bought me a Polar F7 heart monitor for Valentine's Day! I've been wanting to get one for a few months, and I love it! I use it for all my workouts and it is great to see how many calories I actually burn and what my heart rate max and averages are. I really like the fact that I can upload my workouts from the watch to an online website.
Now it is time to think about starting the TNT Diet. Might take the next challenge off to make sure my body adjusts to the new eating habits. Or I could use the challenge to help me work my way through it. Haven't decided yet.
Hey Vash,
ReplyDeleteI just switched to the TNT diet a bit over a week ago and it hasn't been very hard on me at all. I've read about people feeling less energetic for the first week but that didn't happen at all to me; although I was already less energetic due to a cold.
I'd say that you probably wouldn't need to take a full challenge off just to acclimate to the new foods you'd be eating on the plan. If you're worried about it, think about making the switch between now and the start of the next challenge so you have a little time.
Good luck! It's working out great for me so far.

The first 4 weeks are designed to switch you over to burning dietary fat from burning carbs (glycogen). Reality - it takes anywhere from a couple of days to 2-3 weeks for your body to adjust. More than enough time to do it between Challenges without any loss of efffort for the next challenge. I had less than a week adjustment - if that much.
ReplyDeleteSee you next Challenge.
Thanks for your comments, they are really helpful. I'll go ahead and start the TNT Diet this week. Hopefully on Tuesday when I plan to buy groceries. That will give me almost 2 weeks to prepare for the next challenge!
