Things that make me feel great about my sway: Exercised the whole 12 weeks with only a few days off
Changed to eating twice a day with none of my normal salmon avocados etc
Took fiber with every meal and never forgot supplements
Things that make me nervous about my sway: I fell far too quickly !
I still ate some fatty foods at the weekend like pizza and some takeouts but I was always within limits during the week so hoping this will even out
Also was still very obsessive about my sway I wish I could have relaxed more but I wanted to do all my research and get it right
Things worth mentioning: As stated I did go over my fat limits on Saturdays but in the week was always below 40g and calories during the week less than 1500.
Hope I have done enough!
