You can’t drink enough water on this diet. Helps with the hunger, helps with the water loss (which comes from low carbing), helps with the hot rox. And typically, I think that most people don’t get enough water.
You can’t sleep enough on this diet. It really feels like the weight just burns off while I sleep (I’m always excited to wake up, because that’s when I’m going to see the weight loss).
The fast weighted walks are great and make a difference. I wouldn’t try to go crazy and do something like running or high intensity cardio — I don’t it’ll work — but for some reason, fast walking seems to do a good job of helping you burn a few extra calories while not burning off muscle.
Unless you really know what you’re doing (and the fact is, you probably don’t), just do exactly what Shugart says in the plan (his first article’s been updated a bit, in that he replaced the 20 or so fish oil tablets with just 4 of the flameout, and added in the peanut butter. If you’re not sure what workout to do, just do what Shugart says. It’s not to say that Shugart is god and knows everything, it’s just that he has a plan that worked for him and a lot of people, so until you’ve proven that it doesn’t work, it seems like a bad idea to go too much against that. Now, some changes may be necessary (less hot rox for you, since it has such a an effect, a serving of greens+ for me, because i think not eating veggies for that long isn’t worth it), but they should be the exception, not the rule.
