The THM fuel cycle is a tool to be used if you have reached a stall in your weight loss journey. I also am choosing to use a Fuel cycle as a reset, to look closer at the foods I have been eating and as a way to clean up my diet before the holidays get here. Yeah I said I need a reset and to clean up my diet, no I have not been off plan, my meals have been mostly heavy S and E meals lately. I have been having a hard time adding in FP meals and snacks, as well as light and deep S meals and snacks, leading to a slight weight gain. I am not concerned about the weight gain much as my measurements have not changed and my clothes are fitting the same if not a little looser, plus my weight training workouts are not a hard as they use to be with my 12 pound dumbbells (I am thinking about upping to 15s), the
increase in muscle could be the weight gain. My biggest goal with this fuel cycle is to clean up the foods I have been eating, and to add in more veggies.
To learn more about the fuel cycle go to chapter 24 in the Trim Healthy Mama Plan book.
This will only be my sconed Fuel cycle, I only did one week the first time and it was missable. I was hungry all the time, didn't plan well, and was unprepared. With all that I did lose 5 pounds during that week. I have spent a week planing this fuel cycle and feel more ready. I will continue with my normal workout schedule though the fuel cycle
Here is my plan for week one I have 2 snacks planed for each day as I get up early and I may change meals or snacks throughout the week but I will be trying to follow this plan
