NUTRITION/DIET REALITY CHECK TIME!!!!!!!!!

August 20, 2009

In the last week or just over I have had:
  • 2 burritos
  • pasta
  • chinese (w/ fried rice)
  • a few lunches with chinese-style grub, including a little lo mein, rice
  • BINGED on bbq food at a beer tasting event, and washed it down with sweet, hoppy beer
  • A good amount of milk (w/ coffee, cereal...)
The result: weighed in today at 180lb for the first time in months.

NUTRITION IS IMPORTANT!

I have to admit, I was getting pretty sick of my pseudo-paleo diet... almost 100% spinach, broccoli, chicken, steak and eggs, plus some almonds, fruit, other veggies like peppers -- with the OCCASIONAL cheats very few times a week. But it was helping me keep my weight down for sure. I noticed that pics of me from the last pool party looked AWFUL and I didn't even correct my eating this week. NO MORE.

RX:
  • NO Pasta, Rice, Starch ... VERY Little Grain... (occasional sweet potato or yam is exception)
  • NO Dairy At All
    • Finish your milk today, for tomorrow is a new leaf-- spill or give away whats there
    • No more milk in coffee -- back to black
    • What granola and cereal you have left, eat with kefir or probiotic yogurt, and then when that's gone, NO dairy at all
  • CUT BACK On Beer
    • Try to avoid it as much as possible
    • ONLY drink light beer when you gotta, preferably Miller Lite -- nothing high cal
  • AVOID Fried Food (not religiously, but definitely make it a rarity)
