So, I was stuck on a plateau for what felt like a long time. It was only a week and a half but it feels much longer when you check every day. So, I did what I usually do and I researched it. After looking through a number of sites I decided to do two things. The first was to increase my protein. The other was to increase the intensity of my resistance workout and decrease the frequency of my cardio workout. I increased my protein intake with whey isolate. Whey comes in a powder form and the isolate version has no fat or carbs. I replaced my breakfast with a whey shake. I also have a shake before and after working out (at least thats the plan. It's early in the process). During my reading I discovered that a shorter, but more intense resistence workout is better for weight loss (and muscle building). So, I started with some HIIT (High Intensity Interval Trainig). Basically very short rests between sets and faster reps. Lastly, I am dropping my cardio to 2-3 times a week. There is a big drop off in how effective cardio workouts are after 3 times a week. It can also be detrimental to weight loss according to what I read. This does not mean you shouldnt do something every day. I still walk 30 minutes a day. So, I will see how this goes. Today is cardio, tomorrow is off and Saturday is HIIT.
