Thanks Joey👍👍

Hi Joey, thank you for your quick response. I have taken “before photos” and there is definitely room for improvement- love handles, stomach a cellulite. My goal weight is 58kg. The 120 protein grams minimum was given to me by the trainer who runs the strength classes. She also told me to stop walking as I would lose muscle mass ( I have ditched the classes and now back to doing a 5km walk first thing in the morning which I love ( just saw your email about walking). A bit more background I am a psychologist so my work is sedentary and my husband has stage 4 cancer so my stress levels can be high. Here is a sample eating for a typical day:

Breakfast: low fat Greek yoghurt, mixed berries and decaf coffee with a dash of 2% milk.

Protein shake after my workout

Lunch: protein in the form of fish, chicken or ham (150g), focaccia and a piece of fruit

Dinner: home made beef lasagne or grilled streak or chicken(200g) small salad or baked vegetables.

Snacks: High protein yoghurt or protein shake, bun, dark chocolate

I aim to drink 2lt water a day, will have a glass of champagne if I eat out ( once a week). I don’t drink Soda or friut juice.

I think I should manage the 6 day intermediate schedule and will e starting day 1 this afternoon. If I am walking every day do I still need to do the cardio? Thanks again Joey. Cheers, Yvette
