Watched an interesting interview that got me thinking . . .
I am still committed to following a CRON (Calorie-Restriction Optimal Nutrition) diet until I hit 170 pounds. But after that I am going to try to pursue the following diet/workout protocol:
Saturday -- skip lunch and stretch fast into the evening. Resistance train in the evening. Eat a bunch of ice cream and protein.
Sunday -- Eat a bunch. Party. Enjoy all tasty-tasty junk our society has come up with.
Monday through Friday -- some kind of low cal regime. Perhaps just continuing what I am currently doing, but I am open to experimentation (but not to unduly inconveniencing my wife).
My reasoning behind staying with CRON is that I am trying to achieve anti-cancer hormonal changes, which may very well be a product of lowering my metabolism.
I also plan on going on a two-day water fast at some point, during a school break. Again, for the anti-cancer properties. I am working under the assumption that bigger moves have to be made to set up systems than to maintain them.
And I openly admit that losing my grandfather and father within a year and a half has me spooked.
