Confessions Of A Sugar Addict

...Oh, and processed grains addict too!

I'm on a diet for the first time in my life. Week Three kicked off yesterday. This is a pretty big deal for me.

Goals:

Cut the ties that bind when it comes to sugars and grains.

Cultivate healthier dietary habits.

Loose some winter weight so I am lithe and agile.

Have fun learning new things.

Explore the culinary world and learn to cook delicious food.


Diet:

Behold the pyramid...


I get one day off a week to eat whatever I want.

I weigh myself every week and measure the circumference of body parts I'd like to get leaner and meaner.


Brain Trust:

Steve (human-nature savant and fitness guru) and Steve (medical-man extraordinaire who monitors my blood stats to make sure I'm on track).


Outcomes:

Proteins and veggies with every meal is revelatory-- energy boosting and appetite suppressing.

I now eat breakfast every day (never done that before).

I lost five pounds in the last two weeks.

I literally dream about eating deserts and crusty breads.

Withdrawal after a day-off binge leaves me anxious and depressed.

I no longer spend my quarters at the HQ vending machine.

I'm still in.
