Me: not so great, but not so bad either.
Hi Kt.Today was not a stellar day.
And it got worse. I got up from bed and ate 5 bowls of cheerios."how did I eat all that" days.
Small steps, Copa.So I am back to the approach I studied last week: 2 to 4 days at less than 500.
Insane. I am going back to work in two weeks. I feel like an old cow and look like one too. I know this is "unbalanced" but I want to weigh below 170 before I return.balance
Copa, it's amazing how much food you can eat without consuming a lot of calories. This is an approach that works for a friend of mine. She was used to a certain "weight" of food when she ate - any less "full", and she was hungry. So, she started swapping identical calories between high-calorie foods and low-calorie foods of greater "weight", with a particular focus on ending up with high food-value for every bite - maximizing nutrition while minimizing calories. Some of the key winners on her list: Cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli; beans and lentils; and berries. But even some simple exchanges help a lot - like yogurt instead of sour cream, for example.And I am seeing this is not a lot of food
Yes, the only way to maintain is to make the new way of eating a habit - automatic, not calculated.It has to become habit
They are considered a "super-food" - really packed in food value, with no down-side. Right up there with the cruciferous family (cabbage etc.)I don't even know how many calories are in a "colored" bell pepper, let alone how many calories it takes to digest one.
