Is it possible to get my body to move five percent in a ten day period? Of course I must stay healthy during these ten days as well. So could I eat and exercise for ten days and get a great result? This is what I want to do. Ten days is not too long. It is possible to see myself doing it! The most important thing for me is body fat,  then waistline and then weight. 

 

The plan is  simple (but not easy):

Exercise plan

I will exercise every morning at 5:30 am for ten days for 30 to 45 minutes. Some days I will add other exercise to this routine. This, however, is the minimum.

Nutrition plan

I will eat clean for ten days.

I will eat enough protein for my requirements and will eat balanced carbohydrates.

In short this is what my eating plan will look like:

1. Water and aloe (first thing in the morning)
2. Meal replacement shake with fibre and extra protein
3. Energy Tea

This will be for all breakfasts and lunches and for six dinners

4. Snacks – I will have these at least twice a day.

5. Four Dinners will consist of a “normal” meal. A normal meal is a meal with at least three portions of protein and maximum one portion of white starch, preferably none.

6. Aloe and water drink at night again – all ten evenings.

NB: There will be no fruit in the plan, no sodas and no alcohol and no fruit juice either.

The plan is the same, but I will change the recipe of the shake throughout to keep it interesting.

I am going to use a Vanilla shake from Herbalife with 30 servings (I will eat at least 26 meals) and a apple tasting fibre mix with the shake. I will experiment a bit with the shake to add weird and wonderful stuff to it (like hot chocolate or peanut butter). For snacks I will use boiled eggs or Herbalife protein bars (10 gram of protein) or Roasted Soy Beans. Of course the eggs will be cheaper, but the calories will be higher. The Aloe is the Mango flavour from Herbalife with enough servings for me. I will add Herbalife protein mix to the shake so that my first shake of the day would be about 24 gram of protein. The energy tea is a Herbalife instant beverage with tea extracts.

Is it safe? I am going to eat about 1400 calories per day, but it will be well balanced with all the vitamins and minerals that I need. When there is extra energy required (long run or so), I will supplement with good carbohydrates and protein. I will use 1000 mg of vitamin C when required.

Of course if you want to do the same and you are more budget conscious you could replace some of the items that I am going to use with alternatives.

 

I will chart the journey.
