Uggo Report:
I met with a Natropathic Dermatologist today. We discussed
the history of my face and what kinds of changes, I have gone through in the
past 2-3 years.
·
Becoming a herbivore
·
Moving
·
Fitness changes
·
Skin regimens
·
Use and discontinuation of birth control
·
Supplements

Diet
Although I have been soy free for nearly two weeks, she
doubts is involvement in my struggle. (Which is sort of a relief…b/c tofu is so
good, and soy curls…) She said I need to continue for about 6 weeks and then
just eat soy all day! I am dreaming of this day…scrambles, chili, BBQ soy curl
sandwich, a builder bar, a coconut mojo…Um…I will think of some other crap like
that too.
So we are going to use some simple vitamin supplements to
manipulate the oils my face produces, slightly reduce testosterone levels and
increase something…something using vitamin A. (I forget) AND because it is kind
of itchy, she has a topical compound she has read about that we will try. It
should also reduce inflammation.
They are sensitive to my vegan needs. Finding all versions
which are not gel caps, and double and triple checking the ingredient lists to
ensure that I am getting products that align with my ethics. It is such a
relief. I have been fighting this on my own, and I resist the use of
anti-biotics and harsh chemicals…there has to be a biological explanation that
can be manipulated to bring me back to the smooth clear skin I have been so
proud of in the past.
CHUBBO REPORT:
It is getting a bit better. The change from the photos is
reflected in the change in my numbers. You will see a decrease in lean body
mass; pointed out to me by my experienced and certified consultant.
Since I work out in the morning I don’t typically eat
beforehand, or drink anything. So I was instructed to eat a banana and a shake
before I workout. So I will do that and adjust the rest of my nutrition
accordingly.
Here are the numbers:
| 1/14/2013 | 2/11/2013 | 3/1/2013 | |
| Chest | 6 | 6 | 5.5 |
| Tri | 19.5 | 19 | 19 |
| Sub | 14 | 13.5 | 11.5 |
| Iliac | 13 | 12 | 11.5 |
| Umb | 21 | 21 | 18.75 |
| Midax | 11.5 | 11.5 | 10.5 |
| Thigh | 31 | 31 | 29 |
| Tota | 147.4 | 148.4 | 145.6 |
| LBM | 113.63 | 115.23 | 114.48 |
| Fat | 33.77 | 33.17 | 31.12 |
| % | 22.91 | 22.35 | 21.37 |
I was given other information too!
I need
to look into posing. I was given the contact information for “The Man” who does
all posing for people in the northwest.
I should
consider my suit…ug…sparkly bathing suit and skank heals…not really my thing,
but the industry standard. I just have to make them look better than anyone
else…
When it
comes to cutting and a highly calorie restrictive diet I need to include BCAAs
and Glutamine to retain my lean body mass and destroy fat!
Going to eat clean all weekend, and make a slightly new
routine for next week. My diet was a little carb heavy with the oatmeal, so I
am going to try to eat more “dinner” like foods for breakfast and probably do a
salad for dinner all week. Not sure what to do about lunch.
I am just realizing how many freaking carbs are in beans. Really
beans? Can you just have fewer carbs? Anyway, I need to reduce my carbness a
bit more and probably do 1.25 scoops of protein per shake. That is no big deal,
people who I have forced to taste the shakes say they are awful…I crave them. They
taste so good to me. When I walk off the gym floor into the locker room I can’t
wait to get my shake! We’ll see how it changes as I start drinking it first
thing in the morning!
I’ll let you all know what I come up with for my meal plan
this week.
