Body becoming more efficient
Author: RaimaHey everyone 
It’s been a while since I last posted and I thought I’d give everyone an update with what I’ve been doing. With having 2 weeks off gymnastics, I’ve been trying to focus on loosing weight while trying to maintain muscle mass. I purchased a heart rate monitor a week or two ago to better monitor my cardio workout. The idea is to set the heart rate in a metabolic zone 3. I won’t go into detail here, but zone 3 is when the body burns the most fat. I’ve also been alkalyzing and naturally detoxing with the exception of eating chicken. I must say I haven’t felt this good in like 10 years. In the process, the body has become more efficient where it takes longer now to reach the heart rate of zone 3, and it takes more effort to maintain the heart rate of zone 3.
Weight loss is continuing, but it’s slowed down a bit. There’s a number of factors where cardio wasn’t done in the morning, or I over ate on the day. I still have a day where I can eat something outside of the plan, but it’s kept at a moderate level. For example, it might have been a roast chicken or lately, it’s been a Hotdog de wheels at Harry’s cafe de wheels :p
