Ok so I had my one month retest this week. That was fun. The doctor I see tests your body fat %, weight of course, the age of your cells and a few other things. I lost 7 lbs overall, all of which were fat lbs which is great and lost 4% body fat. Plus I gained 2.5 lbs in muscle.
What I like about this eating plan is it’s something I can do for the rest of my life pretty much. Granted he doesn’t want me to eat any grains or wheat – so no bread, rice or anything for the rest of my life. Well, that’s not going to happen because I absolutely LOVE SUSHI but I really don’t miss most of it. I’m lucky I guess, I’ve never been one of those people who crave and want breads all the time.
I’m not craving anything anymore either because I’ve cut all the sugar out of my diet. I haven’t gone on a red wine kick yet though since I started so that may change, especially since I’ll be in Vegas this weekend and all next week! Heck, that may put me into a sugar high tail spin, who knows? ;0)
Backing up a bit to share the reason why I’m doing this in the first place is basically because I’m pushing 40 (I’ll be 39 in April) and I wanted to find out how my body is doing, what it likes and doesn’t like that I may be putting in it. I wanted to find out now before I spend another 20 years doing more damage.
So, I’ll share more later – wish me luck to eat well in Vegas!!
