GREAT diet program

This guy has helped a lot of people lose a lot of weight. Most of them in the 300 to 600 pound range. Thank heavens I'm not that bad off, but I'm bad enough off. This is the year to get in control.

I wanted to do Hcg again, because I had wonderful success the first time. However, it only works once. You can't keep doing it. Plus it did something bad to my gall bladder.

So, this is about eating a freaking TON of food each day. (seriously, I have to force myself to eat it). I eat 5 meals a day. I cycle the carbs. So I have a High carb day and the next day is a low carb day. Still 5 meals a day. Still a ton of food. All of it very healthy. LOTS of veggies, lean protein, brown rice, quinoa, couscous, whole grains. No processed stuff, no sugar, some fruit.  And exercise. But not tons. I get to start at 12 minutes a day and work up. That is so very do-able.

Sunday is my 'free day' where I can eat anything I want. So if I get a craving mid week I have found that I can control it by saying "If I still want this on Sunday, I can have it."

I've definitely noticed more energy. WAY more energy.

I'm only on Day 5 but I really do like it. I think this is definitely something I can stick with.

I started watching Season 1 of the "Ghost Whisperer" on Amazon. I just do it while I'm on the exercise bike. It is great.

Anyhow..... I don't expect miracles to happen overnight. It's going to be a process, but I may have found a way of eating that really truly will work for me for the rest of my life. This is not a "d-i-e-t" that you do and stop. This is how I will eat forever.  Lean protein, veggies galore, salads, fat free dressings, good fats like avocado, EVOO, whole grains, lots of water.

Example of a High Carb day (which is today)....
7am Breakfast - a shake made with one scoop of protein, a banana, water, and unsweetened almond milk.
10am - steak, onions, green peppers, and 1/2 of a potato topped with marinara sauce.
1pm - ground turkey, diced red pepper, corn, black beans, and salsa all mixed and served on lettuce.
4pm - greek yogurt with granola
7pm - chicken breast, green beans, brown rice

Example of a Low Carb Day
7am - Breakfast shake as above (breakfast always has carbs)
10 am - asian wrap (ground turkey, water chestnuts, onion, tomato soy sauce wrapped in a lettuce leaf)
1pm - Chicken Cobb Salad - 3 cups of veggies which include lettuce, cucumber and tomato, mixed with grilled chicken breast, two egg whites (hard boiled), 1/4 of an avocado, 2 oz of shredded cheese, and 3 TB of fat free Italian dressing. (That one is my FAVORITE!!)
4pm - egg white omelet with tomato, spinach, onion, mushrooms salsa
7pm - I had another asian wrap.

Exercise includes some modified sit ups, push ups, weights, bike riding. I say "modified" because I do NOT want to herniate a disk in my back by pushing myself too hard. So I am doing the very easy ones that he designed for the 600 pound people who really can't move.

Anyhow..... so far so good. I will keep my progress posted. Kudos to me for finding the thing that just might work!!!
