Day 11, Wednesday April 28th

"winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is..."
Vince Lombardi

A word on alcohol... we will go over this in detail in our first seminar on May 9th, however, alcohol might be the absolute worst thing you can put in your body. There are NO health benefits to alcohol... the benefits of wine are from the GRAPE, not the alcohol. In short, alcohol is VERY calorie dense with zero nutrients and is a super fast acting CARB that sky-rockets your blood sugar and causes extensive damage to every organ in your body... if you can't limit your alcohol consumption for only 12 weeks to 1 glass on cheat meals only may I suggest that you likely have larger looming issues that you are ignoring. If that is the case you need to let me know privately right away and no I'm not over-reacting or kidding about this.

So far everyone seems to be doing very well... Jody and I are very happy with what we see so far and you guys have been AWESOME to deal with. Keep up the great work!!! Remember the summer is ALMOST HERE ! ! !

  26. Holy Cow Batman!!!

    Got to increase my fiber intake... more salads, etc. Let's just say that I'm usually more regular than most folks and I'm not quite as regular as I was prior to starting the program. Anybody else with me? Thinking about it though, I didn't normally eat near the amount of protein I'm consuming on a regualar basis now.

    So far it's been a hectic week at work and been having a little trouble getting everything in at a reasonable time, but I'm getting it in anyway (at least most of it)...

    Well here goes, this was today's meal plan:

    Breakfast;
    Protein Shake
    - 4 scoops (74g) (p)
    - 1 banana (fruit)

    Snack;
    - Banana (2nd fruit)

    Lunch;
    - 1 cont raw carrots (c)
    - 1 cont chicken breast & pesto (p)
    - 1 cont london broil & pesto (p)
    - 1 cont steamed broccoli

    Late Dinner;
    Large Salad
    - lettuce, spinach, mushrooms, peppers, kalamata olives, cucumber slices
    - 1/4 cont salmon (1/4 p)
    - 2 serv evoo on salad (2f)
    - 3 slices ez bread (c)
    - 2 serv almond butter on the ez bread (2f)

  31. Murph - we have had a lot of daily drinkers do this program and have gone without if for the entire 12 weeks... needless to say they were changed forever when they felt the difference in every aspect of their lives, body, mind, etc.

  32. Bob - make sure you are not eating too much fruit... if those are 1/2 servings you are fine

  33. J.K. one - hope you had a great time with the girls!

  34. Frank - you are not eating enough carbs and that is why you are not feeling as regular. Regularity is goverend mostly by insoluble fiber... get the rest of the carbs in you are you will be fine. Carrots and Broccolli are veggies, do not as a carbs. I'm going to e-mail you.

  35. Susie - too much fruit... you will increase your later... not now. On low carb days 1 fruit

  36. Thomas, carrots and peas have (C) next to them on the sheet you handed out on the 1st day. There is an asterisk but I can't find the note to go with the asterisk lol. What does it mean? I've been avoiding carrots for this reason.
