Uncle OMAD

I recently touched base with a fellow gym rat, and noted a significant downsizing that basically turned this lad into a lean, mean looking gorilla! I went straight to it: 🗣️ "What did you do?". His response: 🗣️ "One meal a day my guy. I only eat at 18 hours and I feel phenomenal!" 🤯. 🤔Challenge accepted. Summer's around the corner, I might as well start cutting now. This is my revised training and nutrition protocol:

Nutrition
Uncle OMAD (One Meal a Day) until further notice. Well, more like one eating session with various small meals comprising of the following:

• One small bowl of muesli, with natural yoghurt and dried cranberries or raisins.
• One avocado 🥑 and banana 🍌 smoothie  (1 avocado, 2 bananas, 1-2 tablespoons of honey 🍯, 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, 250 mls of milk 🥛).
• Rice/Potatoes/Nshima with tbone, chicken or fish with vegetables on the side.

To be consumed in the order presented above.

Supplements

• Multivitamin 💊. Dieting can create nutrition deficiencies, a good multivitamin can help plug the gaps. I stick to Wellman Multivitamin. Cairo Chemist is my plug. 
• Pro nutrition's Pump n Cut. For an enhanced strength training experience and small boost to my metabolism in the morning.

Training

• 1 hour of strength training in the morning, every morning.
• 1.6 - 3.2 kilometer run in the evening, every evening.
• 10, 000 steps daily. Without fail.
• 7 hours of sleep daily. Without fail.

Additional items:

• Chapstick. No food for prolonged periods + cold weather = crusty lips.
• Sugar free gum. It can help take your mind off food, keep your mouth busy and temporarily suppress your appetite.
• Sparkling water. Sparkling water can't be quickly consumed and offers a more exciting alternative to plain old water.
• Warm lemon water 🍋 💧. This can help give your body a bath on the inside and will likely stimulate bowel movement. Great addition for those whose stomachs can handle it.

This is my blueprint for the next couple of weeks. The idea is when I get to the summer, nobody should call my phone for a party... unless it's a pool party 😌.

⚠️ Proceed with caution. Uncle OMAD might not be a welcome relative at your family reunion.
