I've already learned a ton of info and I'm hopeful. I've said I could never diet, but going to give this an actual shot. If it means feeling better it's worth a shot. So including these dishes, but again, these are all pre-Melissa. Not all that terrible, but for sure have some adjustments to make!
Carbo- whoa.
Buca di Bippity Boppity Boop.
Tray of Pumpkin Ravioli, Chicken Penne Artichoke, Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes. Yup. Did I eat this all on one sitting? Almost. Yikes. Delicious? Absolutely. No more starchy carbs- Unless it's gluten free according to Melissa. Sigh. Ok, again going to give it an honest shot. That's going to be trickiest, trying to say good bye to gluten. I won't say that I won't cheat every once and a while. But my days of starch starch starch have to end. She noted patterns in my glucose / sugar levels and tied it to my energy levels and my thyroid. My constant hunger- before, during, and after workouts was not because I was not eating enough, but really because of what I was eating. So again, trying different foods/habits in hopes that the constant hunger subsides and that the energy levels go up. I need to remember that if I am hungry, that it's my body burning fat. "Belly fat" more specifically- the target area and focus for the next four weeks.Adjusting the smoothies- Bye Bye Soy
One of the first things that Melissa pulled was soy. She noted that it has probably been interfering with my synthroid for my hypothyroidism- which levels were super high last time, hence the constant desire for a nap.So yup, no more Soy milk either- only Almond, Rice or Coconut.
So while I will still be doing the smoothies, I threw away the soy powder to replace with a different protein powder. I have also been visiting the yummy juice bar peeled. Yes, it's expensive, but they have delicious ingredients and have dairy free milk options like Almond Milk and Coconut Milk. They also have Hemp powder available.
