Crash Diet

Dear bloggie,

By principal, I'm never a believer of crash diet as I belief that fitness is a marathon not a 100m sprint...

However inspired by a youtube video I saw where a dude which has a similar body fat as I current have that undergo a 2 week fish and broccoli diet... which resulted in a ripped belly made me wonder if I can achieve the same result as well.

I will be trying out a less extreme version of his diet.

In his diet, he ate

70g oats for breakfast followed by
200g of fish and 200g of broccoli every 3 hours later on (total x5)

An estimated total of 1,350 calories perday

From what I read, the minimum calories a male should consume a day is 1,200 (eating less then this figure would result in body going into starvation mode, lowering our body metabolism rate hence making it harder to burn fat)

I decided on the following diet:

70g oats for breakfast
200g of fish and 1/2 can of beans for lunch
Any dinner meal
Egg sandwich (2 slices of gardenia breads and 1 fried egg) for snack
1 cup of protein dope

Making it an estimated 785 + x calories, where x is the calories from dinner meal. I estimate I require a heavy 400-500 calories dinner meal to make the 1,200 safety calories mark. My strategy is to reduce my daily calories intake by cutting down in carbs and fat, while maintaining my protein intake. I also allocate a wildcard dinner meal to satisfy my "tasty" food craving to prevent my morale to go over the line and make it easier on myself as I usually eat dinner prepared by my mom.

On side note, I forecast I can save quite a lot in eating this diet as well, as the cost perday would be around RM7 excluding dinner meal, which is dirt cheap. I however do have concern on meeting the minimum 1.2K calories requirement, how this diet will affect my energy level for my workout, getting insufficient nutrition and minerals from vegetables from my wildcard dinner meal alone and how DEAD my tastebud would end up after this diet.

Anyway, lets see how tis diet plays out for me... If I managed to gather enough discipline to follow it that is...

Incase ur wondering, wtf bout the vid tat actually made me EVEN consider going for a diet:
