Eight had answered the call of Latte Built owner Derek Cutting\u2019s fat loss challenge with their incredible journey to having a healthy lifestyle at the start of the year entering the third week.<\/p>\n
Cutting held weigh-in and body fat percentage test last Jan. 10 at the Carolinian Utt in Garapan. He got all the basic information including the starting weight and body fat percentage of participants.<\/p>\n
Most of the participants, in the first full week of the challenge, had already lost two to three pounds, while two of them dropped 2.5 percent of their body fat.<\/p>\n
Cutting, the overall champion in last year\u2019s Dee Clayton Championships, has also designed basic meal plans for each week and has been updating the eight of their progress on a Facebook group page.<\/p>\n
\u201cI designed a basic meal plan since this is the first time most have done anything like this and learning the basics of nutrition needs focus. I designed a one week plan of five meals per day,\u201d said Cutting.<\/p>\n
He added that all meals are high in protein, low in carbohydrates, and moderate in good fats. \u201cNo processed food but rather organic if they can get their hands ona it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cutting also assigns a workout plan of the week for the eight participants like the Tabata style workout, which participants continually do in one particular exercise non-stop for one minute.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen a second exercise for another minute and so forth. There are 12 total exercises for three sets and each set will take 12 minutes,\u201d said Cutting.<\/p>\n
A weigh-in and body fat percentage check is held every week in the 30-day challenge to know the progress of the eight participants.<\/p>\n
The Top 3 placers will win cash and other prizes. The overall winner will get a one-month free one-on-one personal training (worth $390) with Cutting, while the runner-up will have a free two-week one-on-one personal training with him. The Top 3 finishers will also get cash prizes with the amount to be determined by the number of participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
