Okay so I took a break from giving some diet advice... lol Not only from giving it but also living it. JP and I went camping, splurged on carbs galore and that actually seemed to be the trend in my life for about the last month. Even though I was eating whole grain I still gained 5 lbs because I was eating carbs for every meal... that took me from 100-105. Not bad but I could see the extra baggage if you know what I mean. Crazy when you are aware of your body how you can see it change much easier than when you are overweight.
So I have decided to take on the Makers Diet full storm. If you have not read this diet book you really should. If you have weight problems or even overall health problems. Diabetes, high cholesterol, Crohns (thats what the writer had) you really should read this book. I have read a lot of diet books let me tell you: The South Beach Diet, The Susan Somers diet book, The Zone, and lots of little blurbs and facts online. With all of that in my head and I then read The Makers Diet... Changed my life forever. It just made sense...
So I am on phase one. NO carbs, just good fats, protein and veggies. This is recommended when you want to loose some pounds and inches. I only need to drop about 5. Im 5'0 so keep in mind 100 lbs is a healthy weight for me. Google your BMI and this will tell you where you are at with your height and your weight.
My diet plan for the day:
Morning workout (DVD of Jillian Michaels)
Breakfast:
Jackies shake
Organic hemp protein (3 tbsp)
Vitamin D Milk (6 oz.)
Organic Crushed flax seed (2 tbs)
Ice
So yummy, filling and rejuvenating
Lunch:
Tuna (1 can)
Organic Mayo (1 tbsp)
Organic celery (2 sticks)
Organic scallion onions (1 scallion)
seasoned with pepper and organic garlic powder
Snack:
Organic raw almond butter (about 2 tbsp)
Organic baby carrots (1 cup)
Dinner:
I will be preparing
Boneless skinless chicken (marinated in olive oil, balsamic vinegar and seasonings)
Brussel sprouts browned in organic butter infused with garlic and onions, seasoned with salt n peper, garlic powder and then topped with crumbled goat cheese....
For dessert:
Organic Strawberries and blue berries in goats milk yogurt (plain) topped with some raw, uncooked honey. (In the Makers Diet, he says its not good to cut all fruit out completely when you are not doing carbs. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and grapefruit are okay.)
Okay so I really like to do an Organic diet, you truly cant beat the quality and its just overall better for you. I have been at this since Monday this week. I have lost 2 lbs in about 3 days and it seems so little but that is very noticeable. Especially when do you dont have that much to loose, If you do..... Its better than gaining another 2 in 3-4 days am I right?
