Yesterday was day 7 of my Six Pack Abdominals experiment.  Overall things went well, though as you can see I didn’t eat nearly what I was supposed to.  I’m aiming to eat about 2800 calories, and yesterday I was about 900 calories short… just a little, right?  If I keep up this fitness level, I really need to be reaching my caloric intake goal. I also decided to start supplementing caffeine.  I am taking 200 mg first thing in the morning and about 15 minutes before my workout.  This will give me a little extra boost of energy, and should slightly increase my metabolic...

I have to admit, I haven’t been keeping up with recording everything I eat as well as I planned.  I know I should, but this is more difficult and requires much more time than most of my experiments.  I have been eating fairly well though.  I’m sure I’m staying around 2800 calories, which is fine considering I’m probably burning more than that daily.  I weighed in at 204.9 this morning, which is not bad considering I started at 209.5.  That’s about 4.5 lbs change in 6 days.  I’m sure I wont be dropping weight this consistently, but it’s an inspiring...

Yesterday was the first day of my six pack abs experiment.  As promised I have recorded everything I ate, along with my physical activity. As you can see, I ate 3,042 calories yesterday, and as the image below shows, I burned 4,779 calories.  Not bad for the first day.  I’m sure that kind of activity wont keep up, since I don’t play basketball for 2+ hours everyday.  I actually played for 3 hours, but considering all of the breaks between games and such, I put 2:15 in the program.  My legs are a bit sore, but overall it was a great first day.  I feel great, and I’m excited about...

This morning ended the last day of the biphasic experiment.  The last few days were not only easy, they didn’t feel like an experiment at all.  It has become a lifestyle habit, one that I will find hard to give up (should I choose to).  I have been more productive these last 30 days, and I have even watched a little tv or played video games throughout the 30 days (something I rarely ever do, since  I have no time). My diet has been stable throughout the entire experiment, although the times which I became hungry were a little different.  I’m not hungry for breakfast till about 10:30...

So the days are now routine, I have no problems going to sleep when I need to or waking up.  My midday ‘lul’ is something I’m still adjusting to, but I’ve found that if I’m eating during that time I tend to have a better time staying awake.  The hardest part of the experiment so far has been getting out of bed on the weekends at scheduled time.  It’s not that I’m too tired, but there is nothing forcing me out of bed, and my bed is just so warm and comfy. I have only 3 days left of the Biphasic sleep experiment.  The Universal Man sleep...
