Fitness Plan for Busy Moms that Worked for Me

It’s been a few years since I’ve written my “Project Sexy Program” from my old blog kikaysikat.com. Inspite of the occasional donuts and milk tea, on weird days. I keep on coming back to this nutrition and workout plan and so far it gave me the best body I’ve ever achieved so far. Learning never stops and I think I’ll be reading my own article from time to time! 

I’m sure it will get better when I get the discipline to strictly follow my macros! But UGH MILK TEA and SAMGYUPSAL IS LIFE T_T #ironies #temptations

Nutrition – Lean Gains

To summarize, lean gains is a combination of intermittent fasting, macro counting, and carb cycling. So what are those 3?

1. Intermittent Fasting– This can be a simple as not eating for a number of hours. It all depends on you. I usually fast for 16 hours and have a feeding period of 8 hours (Feed: 1PM-8PM) (Fast: 8PM-1PM). I just skip breakfast. If you aren’t keen on not eating you can try fasting for 14 or even 12 hours.

2. Macro Counting– This is counting your protein, fat, and carbohydrates. You should eat at least 1g/protein per lean body weight. (ex. I weigh 103lbs, I try to eat 70g-80g of protein)

3. Carb Cycling– This is eating more carbs less fat during workout days. Eating more fat less carbs during rest days. Protein stays the same.

What to Eat?

There are days when the gap between the fat, protein, and carbohydrates are so huge that I worry on what to eat. That’s why I shared a What Food to Eat Chart to serve as a guide for myself and for everyone. 

Check measurements and progress. Don’t be afraid to make adjustments as needed!
