December 14th, 2009 Our New Diet II
I’m up starting a new load of wash and got some soup for a snack. I exercised for 30 minutes tonight and I’m proud of myself. This has just got to become a habit.
If someone was approaching this diet rationally, they would 1) clean out their pantry 2) find and organize diet-friendly recipes 3) restock the pantry before even beginning. THAT would be the logical thing to do. Also, they’d start the diet on a weekend or other time-off, because the headaches, etc. can be annoying. PLAN what you’re going to have in place of rice, potatoes, bread, cereal etc. otherwise you feel rather adrift in meal planning. PLAN that it’s often going to take you longer to cook meals, because you’re learning new recipes.
There are lots of food options, even at Phase One, you just have to learn about them.
So far, so good, praise be to God.
It really takes a complete overhaul of your “comfort food” menu.
