Week 18: Song Requests?

10/8/2014

11 Comments

 
WOAH! I got an overwhelming amount of love from that song I posted last week, thank you so much guys! Since the response was so good, I'll definitely be making more funny songs/covers about fitness and IIFYM stuff.

So… I'd LOVE to hear from you guys -- what are some of your favorite songs you'd want me to cover with fitness/IIFYM lyrics? Also, what are some things you'd want me to mention in the songs? Pet peeves at the gym? Funny things you've seen, anything! Let me know and if it makes it in, I'll give you a lil shout out in the video. <3

As long as my computer doesn't spontaneously combust, I will be posting another VLog this week of me making one of my favorite go-to recipes. So stay tuned. ;)

I'm not sure if you have mentioned it somewhere and I've read it and forgotten or missed it..
but what are you using to measure your body fat?

Love reading your updates :)

Hey Melanie! :) I am using an omron hand held BF% analyzer. I know it's NOT totally accurate, but I use it once a week at the exact same time in the morning, right after waking up. So the error is more systematic than random! <3

This is the exact one that I use:

Hi, Cait
I'm wondering how long the mini cut should last?
I'm finding your blog very helpful. I was obese at 237lbs and started dieting. Eating only 800-900 calories a day. Did that for a year. Lost 75lbs in the first 6 months, but couldn't lose any more because my calorie were already so low. Now I'm reverse dieting and up to 1655 calories a day, but at 169lbs. I really need to drop some more weight. Would love to learn more about the mini cut.

Hey Amanda! I am NO expert, but from my experience… it just depends on different factors. How much weight are you wanting to ultiamtely lose? How tall are you? If you can reverse diet even more and get your calories even HIGHER without too much weight gain, I'd suggest that first.

One thing I would say is that one pound of body fat is 3500 calories. In order to maintain as much muscle mass as possible during a cut, you should aim for 1-2 lbs loss a week. So that would be a reduction in calories of 500 cals/day to start out. Then I would say see how your body responds from there. If you are losing 1-2 lb/week keep going with it. When you plateau, add cardio or take out some more calories (carbs & fat only -- keep protein high). I hope that helps ya!! Just my NON-EXPERT recommendations/advice! <3 Let me know if you have any more questions and I'll do my best to answer!

<3,
Cait
