Hello
This is my first post in the forum even though I am following foundation for two years. The reason is that I had some injuries, tight and weak muscles and bad posture due to long hours of sitting. Since then I am collecting information from the forum and trying to fix my imbalances with the first PE’s and stretch series.
I also started Thrive in January and finished it last week. Due to personal issues like exams, new job, new apartment etc. I didn’t have a lot of time to participate in the forum but I was following the steps and taking notes from the forum!
Before Thrive I tried lot of nutrition plans like the Bruce Lee diet, Paleo, low carb diet etc. After four months with Thrive I have to admit that I learned a lot about nutrition and I improved the quality my life.
What I liked the most was the programming with the small steps and building habits. A summary of steps:
- · Water intake was easy since I live in a warm weather country and was already consuming more than 2L
- · Animal protein and carbs was already there from my previous attempts
- · Eliminated carbs from breakfast and added more fat and protein
- · Vegetables with every meal. I used to eat vegetables but not consistently
- · Added fat with lunch, mostly more olive oil with the vegetables
Biggest change was the type of food I was consuming and the portion of each macro. Finally a big lifestyle change was sleep. Currently I am sleeping between 7 and 8 hours with my goal being at least 8 hours.
Again I feel an improvement since I started Thrive 1 and I am looking forward for Thrive 2!
Thank you!
