Hi all
I'm taking part in a white collar event for cancer research UK in 7 weeks time. I'm over weight and massively out of shape.
I've been training for the last two weeks focusing mainly on cardio and technique work, training 5 days a week. I do 2 classes laid on by the organisation, 1 hour each. I've been doing Hiit workouts ( high knees, mountain climbers, burpess). Skipping, shadow boxing and pad work on the other days.
I did a crash die at prior to training and she'd about 10 lbs before starting working out and returning to reasonable diet. I now eat 2200-2400 calories a day but for the last week have not shifted a single pound.
I've cut out processed foods, sugar (apart from natural sugars in fruits), and all the naughty stiff and my diet is largely whole food based. Breakfast is typically weetabix, while milk and strawberries, lunch is sweet potato, lean meat and greens and dinner is not dissimilar. I snack on nuts, cold cuts, fruit, rice cakes and protein shakes and take BCAAS supplements to help my recovery.
Question is I guess where am I going wrong? Why am I doing all the this training for no weight loss? I'm obviously gaining muscle mass but had hoped the fat loss would surpass the gain and I would see a drop in weight.
I want to drop at least 30lbs in 7 weeks ideally. Any help, tips, suggestions, success stories welcomed guys. Thanks.
