Neil’s Challenge Log 08

[K-Court]

I've been thinking of doing TNT. You have me worried, Neil!

[kingkop182]

It does work and you don't feel hungry on it, the only thing is (for me anyway) I’d have days were the 'carb monkey' was on my back; I wouldn't just have a roll or a pizza or even a mars bar but perhaps all of those throughout one day.

If you stick to it and make it through Plan A, then it does allow you the occasional indulgence - I never made it the full 4 weeks of strict plan A.

I found that I’d still be looking at labels as much as the days when I was calorie counting – for example we have 3 different kinds of sausage in our fridge at the moment each with differing carb amounts ( 2.9 gram per sausage, 7.9 and 12.8). My mum does the evening meal and I could end up with any of them on my plate. 3 @ 12.8 adds up. In my opinion unless you live alone or are atleast cooking all of your own meals you need have the whole family onboard


With that said, give it a go.

I think a lot of people can do well on Adam's Diet, it's basically TNT, but with the option to allow one meal with some carbs, per day. I chose the one meal with the family. It's the one meal that I didn't control.

[RacerBill]

I think Roland's suggestion is good. The fat loss won't be quite as fast as TNT-A, but it'll make it easier to stay consistent.

And for the record, I think I had one or two cheats in my four weeks beginning TNT. It still worked.

Gym was very busy tonight, so I went for a run along the seafront instead - deceptively cold this evening. Distance was about 1.5 miles.

*wishes his parents would allow him to convert the garage into a gym instead of a dumping ground*

*Wishes even more that he could afford his own place, so he could convert his own garage into a gym*

Really pushing for a gym in my garage, my usual gym is getting really crowded even at 6AM/9PM. You can't look sideward without some little shit trying to knick you equipment

[RacerBill]

I hate crowded gyms. Hope the garage deal works out.
