    AltShift experiment (part 7)

    April 15, 2016 /

    I’m not superstitious but there’s something special about number 7, and so this will be my last bi-roundly update on the AltShift experiment. I’ll post more about it whenever there’s something I want to share but by now I feel results are starting to become predictable. Past updates are available here: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6. This update includes rounds 12 and 13. Round 12 was tough. It was right after Easter and I was trying to reverse the damage done by too much food and alcohol. I had another day of binge eating and drinking the next weekend, resulting on the numbers…

    AltShift experiment (part 6)

    March 31, 2016 /

    Life has been hectic lately (we moved from the Buddhist centre to a studio unit recently), but I’m still shifting. Past updates are available here: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5. This update includes rounds 10 and 11. We found our new home in the midst of round 9. When round 10 started, I decided to keep things as simple as possible, meaning I did very basic cooking, did not track my food intake and ate out a fair bit. I also took a 1-week break from weightlifting and did a few basic upper body workouts in a gym close to work. The move happened during…

    AltShift experiment update! If you missed the previous updates, you can find them here: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4. This update includes rounds 8 and 9. I travelled to Melbourne to visit my sister on the first 2 days of 5S. My initial thought was to stick as much as possible to the protocol, but soon I realised it was better to just eat paleo-friendly. We had a few amazing meals, some great wine and, most importantly, precious time together. Round 8: Lost 8mm off my waist, 3mm off my thigh and 1.1kg. Put 7mm on my hips. I lost my Fitbit on the first day of…

    AltShift experiment (part 4)

    February 29, 2016 /

    This update #4 of my AltShift experiment (previous posts here: part 1, part 2 and part 3). This update includes rounds 6 and 7. Round 6 started back in Sydney but still with Buddhist stuff going on, involving eating out and partying a bit. This happened during the 5 shift, making it a bit easier to stick to it. I finally got a Fitbit! Based on reviews, I decided to go with the One. I know this gadget can be dangerous for a data junkie like me, but I wanted to know whether I’m complying with the activity and sleep components of the protocol. Round 6: I put on 1.6cm…

    AltShift experiment (part 3)

    February 19, 2016 /

    As you may or may not know, I’m currently testing a fat loss protocol called AltShift (see my previous posts about it here: part 1 and part 2). This is my update for rounds 4 and 5. As I said before, one of the reasons I started this experiment was to find out how quickly I can go back to my original weight category in the (unlikely) event that I decide to enter a weightlifting competition. I got my answer on round 5: 37 days. See the stats below for more details. Round 4: Lost 9mm off my waist, 1cm off my hips, 5mm off my thigh, and 500g. My…

    AltShift experiment (part 2)

    January 27, 2016 /

    As you may or may not know, I’m currently testing a fat loss protocol called AltShift (see my previous post about it here). Here is my update for rounds 2 and 3. Round 2: Lost 1mm off my waist, 2mm off my hips and 5mm off my thigh. Gained 700g. I ate a bit less on both shifts but was still well within the protocol limits. I wasn’t as hungry on the 3 shift as the previous round. I discovered why so many AltShifters rave about egg salad. My digestion was perfect on the 5 shift, but slow on the 3 shift (I was also very gassy during this shift).…

    AltShift experiment (part 1)

    January 13, 2016 /

    As some of you may know, I like to experiment on myself. In my constant pursuit for health and happiness, when I see something that makes sense I try it and see how it works for me. That’s how I ended up being a Buddhist who eats a paleo-style diet. And that’s what made me want to try AltShift. Despite its name and what I do for work, this has nothing to do with computers. AltShift is a fat loss protocol (diet, if you want to call it that way) created by Jason Seib, one of the people in the paleo world that I’ve been following for a few years.…
