Eye Opener
Well… Last saturday was the first posing class of the season… And, got my bodyfat measured… 20%… I was confused, but not so confused… I’m way lighter than I was at this time last year, more vascular, more defined… But the huge bulge of my lower abdomen told the true tale… I’ve been hitting the cardio ( 2 sessions daily of 45-50 min of walking with the pups on hill terrain, and 45 min on the Dreadmill on days I’m at the gym…) I’ve been killing my abs (Granted my lower abs should be called flabs, but the top 2 rows aren’t toooo bad…) So, that comes with a new dietary breakdown, and news that nearly crushed me… Carbs are now broken down to a 50/50/75/100 split… So, 2 days in a row of 50, then a day of 75, then a day of 100 and repeat… But the "KILLER", was the news that I can’t even have Coke Zero… Due to the artificial sweeteners… Well, we all have our crosses to bear, and have had our perceptions of reality shattered… So, the only thing I can do is work harder, and nail it this year… BTW, 07 June my wife will be taking some progress pics of me, which I’ll post even if I look like crap…

I like Coke Zero, can you explain why the artificial sweeteners should be cut out?

Artificial sweeteners still cause an insulin spike… Sometimes even more intense than with regular/natural sugar. The brain still associates sweet, regardless of chemical component, with the need for insulin release…

Best bet is always water! You’ll nail it.
