Men January 11th day 2

"You are what you think. You are what you go for. You are what you do!"
Bob Richards

Reflect on this quote - those of you who were at my last seminar at Collier with the i-believe group heard me talk about thinking it, doing it and being it.... right now most of you are in the thinking stage trying to figure this out. Soon you will be in the doing stage as you perfect your rituals and in the long run you will BECOME what you have wanted and will live it as an example to others. It's all about time, patience and consistency.

Men - please e-mail me your starting weights... this should be your weight first thing in the morning with no clothing

Common questions:
1) Is Tofu OK? Yes, it's a protein, but don't eat massive quantities of it
2) Is Soy milk OK? No - most soy milks on the market are loaded with sugar... a better alternative is UNSWEETENED almond milk
3) Is deli meat OK? No - we will talk about this more in the seminar
4) What can I use as a sweetener? Stevia is your best choice if you have to have one
5) What cereals can I eat? None - if it's in a box you shouldn't be eating it... this may be a huge paradigm shift for many of you, but it's easy once you get into the habit of preparing your food. Remember, part of why our country is so heavy is because food is TOO accessible.

Today's menu:
Protein:
1 container bison
2 containers egg salad
1 scoop harmonized protein and greens first (I add this additional scoop of protein to my day because I need it... if we decide you need it too, then we will let you know).

Carbs:
3 slices Ezekiel (three slices of Ezekiel is = to 1 serving of carbs)
1 container wild rice
1 container sweet potato

Fats:
1 serving safflower mayo in egg salad
1 serving egg yolks in egg salad
1 serving almond butter
1 serving walnuts

Fruit:
2 bananas

  7. Dom - avacodo is a fruit but we are going to call is a FAT... a medium size avacodo has something like 25 grams of fat; also, chop up your hard boiled eggs and you will see you can get about 9 egg whites into your tupperware so you can eat more protein buddy...

    ReplyDelete
  8. Brian - good... please break down your food the way I do on my menu, that way it is self-evident to you and me if you are missing protein, carbs, fat or a fruit

    ReplyDelete
  9. Jcatena - 2 tablespoons of almond butter is 16 grams of fat (that does not mean heaping tablespoons)... also, 23 almonds is 15 grams of fat... that help?

    ReplyDelete
  10. Frank - 23 almonds is a serving of fat and you need one more serving of fat above this

    ReplyDelete
  11. Jamaal - don't post your workouts... I'll be forced to comment and don't want to... like doing 100 reps of curls before you did any type of meaningful upper-body work. Just train and stick with the diet... you will see great results

  21. Phil - great menu... Wegman's ran out of the 9.5 ounce containers so the 10 ounce containers are fine

    ReplyDelete
  22. Chet - 3 yolks = 15 grams, menu looks great

    ReplyDelete
  23. Brian, Bob and Doug - please start posting your food like everyone else so it's easy for me to see where you are short or having too much.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Doug - imitation crab = no good. Try to get raw nuts... skip the raisins. You don't want to be eating roasted nuts. RAW is superior... insert jokes now

    ReplyDelete
  25. Albert - light on carbs, protein and fat... this may seem like a lot of food for you but for now get it all in. The food choices are good though.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Jessica - please post under where it says "women" . . . you just have to scroll down a bit on the home page of the blog

    ReplyDelete
  27. Jamaal - you need to vary your protein, carb and fat choices... if you are stuck it's ok to do, but try to mix it up

  32. What is the deal with soups? We make a lot of soups at home, like turkey chili and lentil soup. Should I eat those in 9.5oz increments or should I make sure that there is 9.5oz of turkey with the beans and tomatoes separately? Is soup just a no go option for now?

  39. Doug - I'm assuming you are eating more than 3 containers of protein because of the veggies in the container with the chicken? If not, its too much protein, especially with the isopure. You need one more fruit and one more carb and you dont' have enough fat. You need 4 servings, you only have one. It's a lot of food I know, just do it.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Scott - post exactly what is going in the soup and I'll let you know. Lentils are an EXCELLENT carb, but it's all about how it's prepared.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Howard - 3 slices of Ezekail = 1 serving of carbs. Also, don't count carrots as a carb, but eat them in moderation. 23 almonds = 1 serving of fat.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Raj - perfect, I know it's a lot of food, it won't be for long.... for now, eat it

    ReplyDelete
  43. Dave H - missing 1 carb otherwise perfect

    ReplyDelete
  44. David - get one more carb in, especially on a day as active as you were yesterday... you only had 2

    ReplyDelete
  45. BJ - be sure you are getting your carbs in as RXed... I want you back on phase 1 for now
