Just wanted to share the results of a mini experiment.
I've been shakin' it SS style for what must be over 19 weeks now (not sure, 3 left to break so I guess that's right, 11th of January is the day CD started so ever since.) and have noticed stagnation periods. I figured they were inexplicable and mostly due to TOTM however, last week I decided to try a personal challenge.
There's so precious little we can change while SSing and yet I decided to challenge myself to do:
- No mints and no water flavor
- At least 3 Liters every day -ended up doing about 4-
- No Strawberry shakes - they contain more sugar-
- Breakfast at 7-9, lunch at 12-14 and dinner at 18 to 20. No skipping, no combining.
Because I had noticed I was lax on reinforcing those by the book, had a suspicion abusing the alloted, Cambridge mints and water flavours was not helping me along, was starting to skip brekkie and have the two shakes for lunch and was not doing enough water.
Lo and behold it worked! I shifted 2.5 kg last week instead of the traditional 1-1.5!
Just wanted to throw it out there in the hopes it helps someone else.
