I completely agree with “January Cut Month”. It is truly needed and it is a great beginning for a New Year. Most have little to no option to over indulgence during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. Although we ‘Vegans’ tend to navigate the Holidays much better. We also have to work at maintaining our ideal BF%. I have to confess mine is not where I’d like. So, in the spirit of “January Cut Month”. I’m looking at continuing it into the first week of each month and making adjustments if needed. Thank you very much!
The first week was rough – as beginnings sometimes are. I probably dropped my calories in half from the holiday binge session (or what felt like a binge session). I definitely felt that drop in calories this first week as my body adjusted to less “fuel” to complete the days’ tasks. I started off last Monday (31 December) at 204lbs with 19%BF; weighed in tonight at 195lbs with 18%BF. Only 1% decrease in BF% tells me that I lost a majority of water weight during that first week….but there was some fat burned as well. As long as the BF% continues in the right direction, I will consider this to be a successful January Cut Month. The goal is to drop down to 14% BF (weight doesn’t matter) in preparation for February Solid Month. But let’s focus on January for now – one week down, three more to go…
One week left to go in January. I do hope that you all were able to keep your resolutions and stay focused on your health goals. If you decided to join us with the Cut Month, we'd love to hear about your progress and how you managed to maintain motivation and focus. This has been a long month and I'd argue that all cut months are definitely long months - something about eating less calories than normal that seams to make the month drag. I can say that despite the dragging month, I was able to lose 16lbs and drop 3% BF so far. One week left to go and I plan to stick to the program and finish up - the more body fat lost, the better it'll be for you during Bulk Month. And everybody loves Bulk Month.
I wish I could say the same thing, but for a skinny and hard gainer, we can't consider any month as a National Cut Down month, I hope you can understand my concern and please suggest to me which company weight gainer should use and where do I get this?
Thank you for this information. Do you want to share it? You could lead youtube blog about it
Thanks, i also think that gainer helps to increase your weight.
I was always curious about your diet. Thank you for this post
I am a fitness freak and I don't usually do cheat meals or eat junk food but thanksgiving is around the corner, and so I will eat anything I want and then focus on the diet & work at dissertation help UK from the very next day, this is how I will not get used to junk food.
