New beginning

I've recently gotten down to business as far as training and diet are concerned. I am no longer very concerned with increases on the scale. I am concerned much more than ever with lean mass gain and/or fat loss. I've recently made the following changes which seem much more "radical" in print than in everyday practice;

1. No milk, beans, grains or cereals.

2. Focus on vegetables first, meat second and fruit last (not exactly the typical food pyramid huh?)

3. Made my gym workouts more random, condensed them to make them shorter and added in more sporting activity. I walk with a heavy pack, run hill sprints, hit the heavy bag and do bodyweight conditioning workouts using variations of squat-thrusts, jumps, chin-ups, dips etc. usually in a random "routine".

4. My diet has become more random in timing, size and content.

The effects I've felt thus far are the following;

1. Better, more sound sleep.

2. More usable energy.

3. Less aches and pains (probably due to less inflamation from the above excluded foods).

4) Reduction in bodyfat.

More to come...
