What I am going to do is break down this 'lifestyle regime' into 3 lots of 2 week methods.
Weeks 1&2
- No alcohol mid-week
- Walking to & from work each day
- Lighter meals in the evenings (soups and salads)
- Start some light cardio exercise
- Reduce caffine intake to 2 per day (so for me this will be my morning coffee and mid morning or afternoon tea)
- Start taking my antioxidant tablets each day
- Drink no less than 8 glasses of water each day
- Slowly increase exercise and start pilates classes (once I get paid!)
- Start the David Kirsch diet and work out plan for pre UNYBP
- This will mean starting at the gym & no alcohol at all whatsoever (sniff)
- Start the UNYBP (clicky)
- So this is 2 weeks of intense workouts and restricted in take of foods such as carbs, dairy, fruits, sugars, alcohol and any processed foods.
After this I am going to try to harness another form of eating and living - the French style! Mireille Guiliano wrote French Women Don't Get Fat - and I get it. I love cooking and I love the idea of daily exercise coming from the way that you. Futhermore, Madame Guiliano and I agree that champagne should never have a reason to be consumed... we should do it whenever we please (in moderation).
So wish me luck - today(and this week) is going to be difficult for me to implement much as
- I am dirt poor and can only afford to eat cheap food
- Technically I'm starting at midnight tonight (because of above reason)
- It's easter and we are flooded with easter eggs!
a bit of googling turns up the Ultimate New York Body Plan (UNYBP).

Hey Xerx,
ReplyDeleteYes that is correct - and it does work! I've used it about 3 times and as tough as it is you a guaranteed to go down about 1-2 sizes. The hardest part is to keep up the maintenance - which is why I am doing this over a few weeks with different methods.
Further to your comment... I believe that Scotch should never have a reason to be consumed... we should do it whenever we please (in moderation - unless its a special occaision {special occaision could be waking up for example})...
ReplyDeleteLoves it.
