Week 2
This week it is super important to stick to the plan 100%!
Regarding nutrition, this week’s calorie intake will be quite the same as last week’s. The daily intake is not high so please make sure not to skip any of the meals! Every single meal has its purpose in this plan. If you do skip meal and consume too little calories, your metabolism may slow down drastically.
If you lost less than 3lbs since last Monday, make sure you are consuming more water this week. Min 3.0L per day this week.
If you lost more than 3lbs since last Monday, make sure to follow the plan 100%, if you start skipping meals or leave some foods out of the plan, your metabolism may slow down. Something we do not want to happen at this point! So keep on the good work and follow the plans & enjoy the meals.
Absolutely no sauces, fizzy drinks, sweets or anything else that is not on the plan. Add salt to at least 2 meals per day. Cutting out salt will make your body hold on to the water that may cause weight gain. A little bit of added salt with lots of water is the way to go.
Max 2 cups of coffee per day. No 0kcal drinks! Water with added lemon will boost your metabolism big time.
Mix & match as you please.
Make sure to always have 1 option from both groups: A & B on each meal. Have 5 meals daily. Make sure to add “extras” on each meal.

WEIGHT TRAINING
The second week will be more about cardio. We really want to give the metabolism a kick boost!
Try to follow the schedule and try to fit in all the workouts of the week. If you miss a workout, fit it in in another day, just try complete all the workouts by Saturday. As important as it is not to skip a meal, it is not to skip a workout.
Intensity, focus and short rest periods are going to be the key to this week’s gym workouts. Try finish the rounds as quick as possible. Only rest between the rounds. Rest as long as you want to, everything between 30 and 90 seconds is fine.
With the cardio workouts, alternate the intensity – get your heart rate up, then slow down, again get the HR up and come down. This will really boost your metabolism. Get your HR up by either increasing the speed or by adding resistance.
The workouts provided here can all be done either home or at the gym. For the home workout you need preferably some dumbbells or an elastic band. When barbell is stated on the plan, dumbbells can easily be used as a substitute.
On the first page you will find your cardio plan, on the second page all the gym workouts.
