[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's in your diet? Do you measure things or estimate calories?[/quote] I quit alcohol two months ago. Quit coffee a month ago. Generally do not eat bread/pasta (once or twice a week). Minimal intake of processed foods. Drink only water, sparkling water, green tea, and herbal tea (no added sugar or honey). My diet is about 75% plant based. I eat granola or steel cut oats with fruit and almond milk in the morning. Sweet potato, beans, greens, squash, brown rice, root vegetables, etc - some combination thereof - for lunch. Salad for dinner, maybe with some cooked vegetables or brown rice. I DO have a sweet tooth, though, and since quitting booze eat a candy bar or some kind of sweet most days of the week. Is this enough to kill the (mostly) good stuff I eat? I was very diligent about measuring and tracking calories from about May through August. It didn't make a difference. Since December of last year I've walked several miles several times a week (though this has fallen off in the past month and a half). Yoga. Running. CrossFit. The issue, though, is that - outside of walking - I have not been at all consistent with exercise. This is why I think I have to exercise consistently. [/quote] Get rid of the granola (loaded with calories), steel cut oats and brown rice. Too much starch and carbs. You need more protein. How about a green smoothie with unsweetened almond milk and an egg for breakfast? And no processed sugar, no candy bars. Just cut them completely out. Have a piece of dark chocolate instead, a small piece. [/quote] agreed. this is a diet full of carbs with little to no protein.[/quote]
