Day 18, Wednesday May 5th

"Life is either a great adventure or nothing."
Helen Keller

This Sunday is our next phase meeting and first seminar at Fit for Life... be there by 7:30 a.m. and DON'T BE LATE!!!

To everyone -
1) please STOP eating ANY type of yogurt... want to know why? Show up Sunday.
2) DO NOT EVER cook with extra virgin olive oil... again, will go over on Sunday. If you want an oil to cook with use Avocado oil or Safflower oil.... these oils are very resistant to heat.
3) Stop eating dried fruits, for the most part they all suck... eat real fruit.
4) Measure food ALWAYS after cooking it
5) Hi-protein canned puddings are not cool right now... don't get away from what we are trying to do. Staying away form packaged, canned, highly processed foods for these 12 weeks. 12 weeks is not a long time. Stick with the action plan. If you do you won't be sorry!!!

  1. Holy Cow!!!!

    Thanks for the reminder about "EVERYTHING BEING MEASURED AFTER COOKING". The steel cut oats are great, but it would not be too smart of me to eat all my carbs for the day at one time in the morning, now would it??? My wife is a pretty smart cookie. I should listen to her better.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Bob G - not enough food, especially FATS... you need 4 servings of fats... you had one. Also, you need another 1/2 serving of protein

    ReplyDelete
  29. Everyone else... please make sure you are eating enough food... get it in you. The food will only reduce over time. It is a mistake to back it down too early unless I specifically told you to do so.
