2 weeks ago i decided to follow a new diet / lifestyle based loosely on the Warrior Diet and the Dr Greg Ellis low carbohydrate diet (as recommended by Steve Maxwell of Brazilian Jiu Jits and KB fame). My body became a vessel of self research.
Here are the results so far:
Start day (who ate all the pies!) -
Height: 5,11 and a bit
Weight: 93.2kg (206lbs)
Wasit (around belly button): 37.5in
Right wrist: 7 1/2in
Body fat and lean body mass (as calculated by zoneperfect.com body fat calulator): 18% / 169lbs (76.6kg)
As of today -
height 5,11 and a bit
weight 90kg (198.41lbs)
Waist 36.5 in
Wrist 7.5 in
Body fat and lean body mass (as calculated by zoneperfect.com body fat calulator): 17% / 164lbs (74.4kg)
2 weeks in and i am pleased with the results. I have kept to the diet in the whole and had a few day where i went awol from my eating plans but still: 1 inch of the waist, 1% in bodyfat and looking leaner all over in that all important mirror test!
Also my energy levels have been great and i feel that my body is well on the way to fat adaptation where my energy is derived from the burning of fat rather than glyccogen.

Excellent work Blue!
Excellent work Blue, sticking to a diet is no joke. I'm not sure that the calculator on zoneperfect.com is that great - I came out at 4% bodyfat! (height = 66 inches, waist = 29 inches, wrist = 6.5 inches, weight = 142lbs - I need to cut down on the pies, activity level = sedentary). In reality though I'm 16-17% bodyfat. So like you say, go with the mirror
. Keep it up, not far now till you hit the top end of that weight class you're after.
